God and Evil: Why the Ultimate Cause Is Not the Chargeable Cause
If God is the ultimate cause of all that comes to pass, including evil and sinful things, can he be rightly charged with unrighteousness? This article considers the discussion on how to reconcile the problem of evil with a good God. It explains with some biblical illustrations that though God is the ultimate cause of all things, he is never the efficient cause of evil, and thus is not blameworthy for it. The author also explains that the good for which God ordains evil is his own glory, concluding that God is not less, but more glorious, because he ordains evil.
