Iranaean
theodicy:
Iranaeus
said God allows
evil
in the world so we can
learn
what is right and
good
, he created a world where good and
evil
would exist
This is called
soul-making
, we develop
spiritually
as we learn from
mistakes
God cant stop people from doing
evil
as this will affect their
free
will
, if people learn from
mistakes
and become better they can still go
heaven
Augustinian
theodicy:
St
Augustine
said God made a
perfect
world and did not create
evil
, only
good
: evil is when
good
gets
corrupted
Adam
and
Eve
bought
evil
into world with the first
sin
, all humans inherit sinful nature (
original
sin) from Adam and Eve
Humans can only be saved from sin as
Jesus
died as a
sacrifice
for their sin
Story of
Job:
"Though he
slay
on me,
yet
will I
trust
in
him.
"

faith
if they
suffer
