“Just as we will never grasp the full meaning of God, we will also never grasp the full meaning of love.”
Thomas Jay Oord, The Nature of Love: A Theology

“Essential kenosis agrees with Jacob Arminius when he says, “God is not freely good; that is, he is not good by the mode of liberty, but by that of natural necessity.” For “if God be freely good, he can be or can be made not good.” In fact, Arminius considered blasphemous the idea that God is freely good.”
Thomas Jay Oord, The Uncontrolling Love of God: An Open and Relational Account of Providence

“why doesn’t a loving and powerful God prevent genuine evil? The essential kenosis model of providence offers one principal answer, although it includes various dimensions. Let me state this answer simply: God cannot unilaterally prevent genuine evil.”
Thomas Jay Oord, The Uncontrolling Love of God: An Open and Relational Account of Providence
