I want to start by saying that I have been saved by faith in Christ. I have witnessed his work in my life and others. This philosophical question is not endangering my faith because I know the danger of trying to project our imperfect ideas of justice and logic onto the God who created those very ideas. This is just something that I have been putting a lot of thought into, and it is really bothering me.

People often ask, “why would an all-loving, all-powerful God create a world with sin?” My response has always been that God did not create sin, he created free will, and we chose to rebel, which brought consequences. He gave us free will so that we could truly love and have a relationship with him. Someone who can do nothing but love cannot truly love, right? If they have no choice to love or to rebel, then we are just robot playthings heaping meaningless praise on God for his entertainment. He is glorified in our salvation. That is what I have always believed.

My question is this: Why is God constrained by our idea of “true love?” Could not the God who created logic and time, and is therefore outside of both, make it somehow possible for us to truly love him without being able to do evil? If God is not able to do this, then he is not all-powerful. He is constrained by an idea outside of him, the idea of “true love.” That idea becomes God. If God has to follow rules, he is not God.

I know this may seem like a weird question, but I would appreciate thoughts.

What a special player man. Just an all-around talent.

Edit: Whoops. Put the hyphen in the wrong spot.

The timeline of this deadline for the Cubs was hilarious and probably reduced the lifespan of a couple people.

- Cubs trade for Kevin Gausman, leading to optimism that at least we’re doing something

- Michael Cerami reports that the Cubs are acquiring Reid Detmers from the Angels. Fans love the deal and label the deadline a success

- Jesse Rogers and others report that the Cubs have NOT, in fact, acquired Reid Detmers. Fans are a bit angry but hopeful that Cerami is just early like he has been before.

- Almost immediately, the Cubs trade for Braxton Garrett, an injury reclamation project. Vibes of the deadline are killed for Cubs fans

- Michael Cerami stakes his reputation on his premature Detmers tweet, saying that he will rescind his statement if necessary but that the time has not come yet. Many fans trust that Detmers is coming, just not quite yet

- Cubs acquire a different Angels pitcher, reliever Ryan Zeferjahn, giving up Mo Baller. Fans hopes are mostly dashed on Reid Detmers, and Jed Hoyer is once again getting heat

- Cubs are reported by Mark Feinsand to be out on Clay Holmes, with the Brewers among the teams interested. Fans see red

- Cubs swipe Clay Holmes out from underneath the Brewers, giving up Jefferson Rojas and also acquiring Tyrone Taylor. Fans celebrate the move that Detmers was supposed to be and revel in the results of the deadline

- The deadline passes, leaving Michael Cerami possibly out of a job

Phew. I felt so many emotions today.
