*EVIL* a Theological Definition

*EVIL* a Theological Definition.
Any act or event that is contrary to the good and holy purposes of GOD.
Theologians generally distinguish between *moral* and *natural* evil.
Moral evil refers to acts (sins) of creatures that are contrary to GODS holy
character and law.
Natural evils include harmful or destructive events in nature that occur
throughout the course of history and that negatively affect creaturely life
(Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Drought and Famine).
Some theologians (St.Augustine) emphasize that evil does not have
independent
existence as a *thing* but is either the moral evaluation of acts or the
ultimate consequence or effect of such evil acts on creation.
