The Yin and the Yang of it

[Yavanna228]

This might be a bit redundant, but concerning Eru/Iluvatar's will/ability to be both good and bad, here's a quote from a letter of C.S. Lewis. It refers to creatures, but it may have some relevance to the subject.

...A really good creature would be incapable of moral choice- which is almost saying "A good creature means a creature incapable of real goodness." For surely power to be good and to be bad go together, and when you remove one you remove the other? E.g. take away a creature's sexuality and you have made not only chastity but unchastity impossible for it.

Again, I'm not sure of it's particular relevance to Iluvatar, but it is an interesting thought concerning creatures.
Just another something thrown into the mix. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
