The biblical texts mentioned - such as Romans 12:21, Numbers 31:17-18, Isaiah 45:7, Amos 3:6, Matthew 13:49-50 and Revelation 21:8 - can be interpreted in a way that suggests the presence of the evil in divine action. As for the passage of 1 John 4:18, we must understand that love is not compatible with fear, as fear generates punishment and limitation, while love frees and broadens horizons. If the kingdom of God, therefore, is based on love and justice, why does it impose the fear of suffering on a blind and detached submission to reason?
