Description
When and where did evil begin? And is God responsible for it (if God created everything...)? In this episode we look at one attempt to preserve God's innocence and the unintentional heresy that results from it: Manichaeism (the argument that good and evil have always been present, forces locked in perpetual combat). What we discover is that such an attempt to get God off the hook only distorts our understanding of sin - what it is and how it must be defeated. The text for this sermon is Gen. 1:26-2:3.
