This is the Biblical position of anyone who genuinely believes in the actual sovereignty of Almighty God.

WRONG! Do you always cover for Satan? What part of 'evil in the world' don't you get?

[verklaring]

God is sovereign also over Satan. Read the book of Job.

Satan does wickedly, but he is a creature who owes his continued existence, as does the whole universe to God. He is not an independent force.

Historic Christianity rejects Zoroastrian dualism of a good god/force and an evil demiurge who are equal in power. It reduces God to a creature. God's power is transcendent, it is above the universe and sovereign over it, divine not creaturely. God is able to rule evil in such away that wicked men act responsibly, also Satan. Yet God accomplishes his holy purpose in judgment.

The prime example of this is the Cross of Christ: Acts 2:23; Acts 4:27,28.

Rape is evil. The conception and birth of a child, who committed no crime, is not.
