John S. Feinberg Sovereignty Theodicy/Defence: Eight Ways God Could Eliminate Evil (PhD Edit) 

Twitter version I

Eight Ways God Could Eliminate Evil: Second, Feinberg postulates that God could eliminate all objects of desire. 

Twitter version II

This would pertain to all physical things, including the human body & perhaps the mind, because Feinberg views these as things that people could desire. This could only be done by destroying all creation. 

Feinberg (1994: 131).

2010 Theodicy and Practical Theology: PhD thesis, the University of Wales, Trinity Saint David, Lampeter 


In the PhD I stated: These persons would have a self-realization that they were individual entities, and without any desire to follow God they could only obey him in a mechanical instinctive way, which would not consist of sincere love or a sense of wanting to follow and be like God.

I will add that within theistic compatibilism, I reason that for significant  human, moral accountability, persons must embrace (within my theoretical chain) his/her nature, consciousness, desires, thoughts, limited free will, acts/actions.
