Absence of good
The absence of good (privatio boni), also known as the privation theory of evil, is a theological and philosophical doctrine that evil, unlike good, is insubstantial, so that thinking of it as an entity is misleading. Instead, evil is rather the absence, or lack ("privation"), of good. This also means that everything that exists is good, insofar as it exists; and is also sometimes stated as that evil ought to be regarded as nothing, or as something non-existent.
Théorie d'expiation de la rançon
La théorie d'expiation de la rançon, quelquefois appelée la théorie classique de l'expiation, est une des doctrines de la théologie chrétienne liée à la signification et à l'effet de la mort de Jésus-Christ. Elle correspond à la première théorie majeure de l'expiation et trouve son origine dans l'Église primitive, notamment dans l'œuvre d'Origène. Cette théorie enseigne que la mort du Christ fut une rançon, payée à Satan, pour le contentement de sa juste revendication sur les âmes de l'humanité à la suite du péché.
Impeccability
Impeccability is the absence of sin. Christianity teaches this to be an attribute of God (logically God cannot sin: it would mean that he would act against his own will and nature) and therefore it is also attributed to Christ. Early Christians questioned whether the victorious saints in heaven could sin. The widely influential Eastern Church Father and theologian Origen of Alexandria maintained that they could. Official Roman Catholic doctrine holds that they cannot.
