Back to Thoughts

After a hiatus from this blog, mostly because of huge changes in my own personal life, I would like to resume writing here and maybe try to spark some lively debates.

Where I live, there is often talk of God's action (or lack thereof) in the world. The frequent stances are:
1) God causes everything and everything, good and bad, comes from Him.
2) The Deistic view, which views God essentially as a divine watchmaker, who created and wound up the world and has left it to go in the ways that it pleases.
3) God is ultimately sovereign, and necessarily allows evil, yet does not cause everything, or possibly even ordain everything. In essence, God limits himself.

Do you have any thoughts on this issue? Are there other stances that should be taken into consideration, and why?
