Which is worse, preaching a salvation of grace and works
(but where even the "works" are of grace as Augustine and
Matthew proffer), or teaching a god who is infinitely more
evil than Satan? I'll leave the answer to you and those
lurking.

Just an addendum

Since

- by definition the good is the similarity to God, the evil the lack
of this similarity

- if there is a principle which would lead to the supposition that God
is evil

- we either shall change our principles

- or to change our concept of the good.

If as all the Synoptic gospels states as Matthew

Matt (18:7) Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be
that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

and God is causing that "needed offence" like everything else in our
world, than that punishment is not evil, but necessary to the interest
of the whole, which has significantly more value than the individual.

God did not gave exact revelation about the conflict of His Will and the
human free will. Our answer is not about God as in itself what is beyond
of our knowledge, but how we shall think about God. My thinking is that
the "anagke" the need above is based primarily in our free will, and
only secondarily on God (as condition sine qua non of the Incarnation);
but if someone thinks otherwise he or she has the right to do so, unless
he or she wants to eliminate the personal responsibility for his or her
decisions.

I yield to your knowledge on this subject. Not having been raised in
the Jewish faith, I am unfamiliar with the Rabbi hierarchy and
