@crucifiedwithchrist1: Saint Basil - God is Not the Author of Evil. #orthodoxchristian #christiantiktok #catholictiktok #orthodox

Koutsman :

Plotinus, the founder of Neoplatonism, radically systematized Plato’s thoughts. He developed a theology of Emanation, where everything flows continuously from a single, perfect, and transcendent source called The One (God). For Plotinus, matter sits at the very edge of emanation. It is the point where the light of The One has completely faded out. Therefore, pure matter is "absolute evil" only because it is totally destitute of the Good and devoid of true Being. God’s Innocence: The One does not "create" evil. Emanation is a natural, necessary outpouring of God's infinite goodness. Evil is simply the inevitable, mathematical necessity of a hierarchy of existence; the furthest point from the source naturally lacks the qualities of the source.

So, inaction can also be a form of evil, such as darkness is the absence of light

𝔖𝔞𝔳𝔳𝔞𝔰 :

i mean technically you are right but the evil came from a God's creation second-hand. That is because satan (Lucifer) himself used to be an Angel created by God in his own image (he was the angel of protection and worship). However, he changed when the idea of taking the wheel took over him. Since he tried and God never let him take his place in heaven, Lucifer turned against him in pursuit of the heaven's throne. Since God was the absolute good though, apparently satan had to fight him with tbe opposite, the absolute evil in order to create contrast and try to fool people into thinking the evil is good, while not siding with God at the same time.

𝒄𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒊 :

evil is not something opposite to evil but it is a lips of good, in the same way dark isnt the opposite of light but the absence of it.

Angelo :

Original Sin - Original Justification Humans are not guilty of Adam and Eve’s sin against God, rather in the Holy Sacrament of Baptism they are re-justified of the inheritance. Original sin is, the lacking of, Original Justification. Not the blameworthy of its lacking.

But evil existed before humanity in the fall and they were temped by evil, meaning it existed before humans were corrupted
