Had a discussion yesterday about God’s creation of the universe. A fellow believer said God did not create the universe perfect, but rather good, as described in Genesis. He said how could this universe be perfect if man had the ability or even the possibility of falling. He said that possibility and ability will be non existent in heaven and in the new earth. Thus, then the universe will be perfect.
My response was, if God intended a universe with a fall, is that universe not perfect because it is what God wanted? Can a perfect being even create something imperfect?
We didn’t have time to hammer out our definitions but he seems mean that “perfect” would imply a world without moral evil, and I mean that “perfect” is whatever God creates and ordains.
(Just to be clear I affirm God is not the author of sin)
Any thoughts?
