No judgement, not a label, just is...God is the creator of all. Is that a label or fact?
1. I understand your point. I disagree.
2. I agree there is mystery involved.
3. I believe it is a judgment because it PRESUMES to have sufficient KNOWLEDGE OF GOD AND ALL THAT WAS INVOLVED to so determine that God is the author, source, cause of evil.
4. I do not believe the finite has anything remotely close to a view point, perspective, position of view, knowledge from which to assert that with the least bit of confidence.
5. Language may be part of the problem. Linear logic may be part of the problem. Regardless, we are not, per se, in our finiteness in the kind of space to make that kind of assessment of GOD, imho.
On the cancer issue....Everyone has cancer cells in their system, they are what is ‘activated’ when we die and decomposes the body. So what then activates these pre-maturely is the question.
All sorts of reasons have been introduced from smoking to exposure to toxic chmicals, crop sprays, and the list goes on and on... I’m in the court that says we’ve always had cancer happening...they just couldn’t recognize it for that years ago...rather... a person died from kidney failure, or brain infection, all depending on where in the body it grew and the organ it attached to which took their life. That was the cause of death.
Today we have far more developed instruments and research institutes ...., so we are catching things much earlier because the research is done to identify what the markers are etc. They didn’t have the advances we do now...
The key is what actually activates these cells before death?
