Re: The Fall

Thanks for the input RickD. I guess what spawned this question was my reading of "The Problem of Pain" and C.S. Lewis' chapter titled The Fall of Man. Something more focused on something along those lines. I don't know if you have read the book or not.

Re: Natural Evil Article

Canuckster1127: if you could please expand on your response to my original question I would greatly appreciate it. I am just curious that if it is true that the "natural evils" of the world could be good, then what is Romans 8:22 addressing?
