Scope
 * How was evil introduced into the world?

You know, how could God who is perfect make something that rebels? We rebelled because of Satan, but how did he rebel? Unfortunately we know very little about this.

Is freewill of the heart uncontrolled by God? Said another way, can God control our heart and yet give us freewill? I think not. Therefore if God gave Satan freewill, he'd be like us and can fall. However, it is odd to think that current angels might fall like us currently. Also, I do not think they have a shadow relationship.

(at this point I deviate into talking about angels, see connection)

John Piper talks about God withdrawing presence from people in Isaiah (not sure if I referenced this elsewhere)

For verses that might indicate God is the author of evil, see "God allow evil"
