To spring off from this, however, I never understood how anyone could think that "it's impossible for God to have created a world in which all free agents do right" is a defense in the first place. Surely, it would be better for God to have not created the world rather than to create a world in which evil must occur.<br /><br />That's what Arminian tell me all the time, at any rate.Peter Pikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11792036365040378473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-26631656436152375202015-03-02T00:10:32.268-05:002015-03-02T00:10:32.268-05:00Oh, because my second post was somewhat unclear. :...Oh, because my second post was somewhat unclear. :)Reformed Apologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17398596496540697639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-73575705356224743602015-03-02T00:02:11.665-05:002015-03-02T00:02:11.665-05:00Agreed.

The save I had in view was no save at all but rather the only thing I can imagine him saying as an explanation for this world.

That he "thinks" it is possible clearly implies that he's not speaking of a possible world that cannot be actualized (one that is not feasible) but rather a feasible world that might actually exist.
