Is this ecumenical or open for debate?
Hey, all I meant to do was post an article by a rabbi. I wasn't trying to start World War III.
Everybody else is chiming in and the thread isn't caucused. You might as well join in.
From the Jewish perspective of the author of the article, the existence of evil is a paradox given God’s goodness and omnipotence.
This is less of a problem for Christians, who allow Satan to be a separate rebellious being instead of the obedient servant that is the Jewish ‘satan’.
Chassidic philosophy goes even farther than traditional Jewish thought, holding that the ONLY true existence is God, meaning that the satan and evil must in some way be ultimately illusory.
