I was thinking about the whole Theistic Anthropology thing I've been thinking about lately, which leads me to think about the dichotomy of grace and evil.  Not good/evil, but grace/evil.

For me, a dichotomy in this sense is a pair of ideas in which one can overpower the other just by being in existence.  The only thing that can defeat evil is grace, and the only thing that can impede or stop grace is evil, so they are the dichotomy.

Anyway, I was thinking about how remarkable it really is that for the two greatest ideas to exist (grace and love), we first needed the two worst ideas (sin and alienation).  So what's more important in this case?  The cause (sin) or the effect (grace)?  More to think about.
