Re: [asa] The Fall (humanity source of suffering)

Burgy,

What are the implications of this for the fall? How does this relate?

My own thoughts on the matter are that omnipotence means that God can do
anything that is logically possible. Asking of God can do things like
undoing the past, seems to me like asking if he can create a rock so big he
cannot lift it. If God allowed and created the past, as he does the
present, then he would be taking back his own work, or at least violating
the way that he created the world to work. Instead, I think he redeems the
past.
