Margueasio - Apokatastasis: Reduce or Wrestle

Epicurus' old questions are yet unanswered. Is he willing to prevent evil,
but not able? Then he is impotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is
malevolent. Is he both able and willing? whence then is evil?

David Hume, Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion

“You cannot tame all that frightens you without losing the beauty. God calls Job to look at the world for a moment from God’s point of view, to look at a ravishing, dangerous world
where only those who relinquish their personal expectations can live in peace. The price of peace is the surrender of our own assumptions about God, which are always too small
for the magnificent gift of freedom built into the system. The final question that God’s speech out of the whirlwind poses for Job and every other person of integrity is simply this: Can you love what you do not control?”
