Description
THEORY OF EVIL AND HUMAN INTERACTION IS THE FOCUS.

Summary
Theodicy categorizing issues that seem to be verboten to God, much like David numbering Israel. The census of Moses (Num. 1:2), came from the command of God but 2 Sam. 24: 1 did not as it records, “The anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them.” (NKJV) There needs to be harmonious ideas in 1 Chron. 21:1 claim, “And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.” You may wonder why this is the a priori in this essay; it has to do with categorizing issues verboten to God, hence on this topic there is wide-spread imperception. After all the years of this genre we are no closer and much further away from the shore on this one. As John-King Farlow and Shanks declares the seriousness of interaction of God and spirits, “If life in the world and its goodness suggest a perfect Creator to the believer, rather than naturalism or, say, Manicheanism, then he has an empirical reason to use imagination on behalf of his preferred position.” To say there is little if no co-census on the definitions that concern Theodicy and its parts is to understate. McFarland with his several topics, evil, good, privation, sin and Theodicy states they are bound together. “Theodicy undertakes the much more ambitious task of attempting to account for the reality of evil in light of God’s goodness by showing how the two are somehow compatible—how it is that the reality of evil coheres with God’s goodwill for the existence and flourishing of creation.”

Excerpt
Augustine Augustine forged into the underbrush of ‘evil’ and ‘good’ concepts were commenced by even one of the founding fathers who was obsessed by the Imago Dei. The father of much Christian theology, Augustine tackled this issue; if only we had gone on to emphasize obedience to the word of God not merely mental assent to mystery concepts, “Augustine attempts to answer this problem by claiming that the origin of evil (the first instance of evil willing) is necessarily incomprehensible. He uses the idea Augustine, the origin of evil, and the mystery of free will of evil as privation - that is, the absence of good. He claimed, “If evil is simply an absence or a nothing, then it has no true existence and hence cannot be known: 'sin... is a defective movement, and a defect comes from nothing.” Chappell claims, that Augustine is, “Relying on the idea that to comprehend something is to understand its cause. The first evil will has no cause, and so it cannot be understood.”
