Keysha Martin, my friend and co-worker, was kind to invite me to your church for fellowship and entering into a relationship with the Lord again. I especially enjoyed today's sermon regarding our perceptions of God and the Holy Trinity. It brought to mind a debate I listened to regarding a riddle written by Greek philosopher Epicurus:<br /><br />"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?<br />Then he is not omnipotent.<br />Is he able, but not willing?<br />Then he is malevolent.<br />Is he both able and willing?<br />Then whence cometh evil?<br />Is he neither able nor willing?<br />Then why call him God?"<br /><br /> My question is how would a Christian respond to the questions asked in Epicurus's riddle? <br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br /><br />Jimmie Alston<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2444950397159147360-7511555831705577264?l=pastorvirgilwoods.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Pastor Virgil Woodshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02806897322217746705noreply@blogger.com0
