The man who taught that all people have inherent value was unjustly executed. The man whose definitions of ‘good’ and ‘just’ influences our definitions of good and just was treated very bad and unjustly. Maybe evil and injustice are not arguments against the existence of God. Maybe they are evidence of our need for His mercy and grace.

It had to happen though, he was the see par excellence, the blood of lambs and goats would no longer suffice and this was the transition from the mosaic law to grace

My thoughts anyway

As for the kids and nurse, it still is a hard one to get one’s mind around
God keeps shîtbirds on this earth for 80+ years. They serve purpose, bear no fruit, and some just work to undo joy and happiness of others. For a lifetime.
