Evil, Free Will And Grace

Consideration of evil, as it were, very important problem of Augustinus’s life, he was once trapped in a mire of "The Dualism of Good and Evil" deeply, and changed his view a lot for evil after being out of trouble. Augustine didn’t deny the existence of the evil, evil is the nature of the lack of good, but he didn’t attributed evil to all-knowing, all-kind and all-powerful god, but because of human’s free will lead to evil. And people have free will and then find the cause of the original sin (Adam ate the forbidden fruit), people who under the original sin is in the depths of corrading, leading to stay the mire of "have to crime", even from the reflection of "stealing pears event" saw person’s deep mentality to crime and criminal psychology. If the human with original sin want to get rid of the evil, they have to rely on god’s salvation, which requires the grace of god. Augustine teaches that god’s grace was given us in vain, rather than our behavior in return, is complete and unconditional, which can be used as an example to illustrate how those who are saved baby. The theory of grace is Augustinus’s fundamental features of mind, yet thorough theory and grace "predestination" seems to be with man’s free will form a kind of tension, a contradiction------with the grace of god will not need man’s free will or man’s free will to god’s grace as threatening constitutive theory, have to cancel the grace of man’s free will to maintain complete theory.
