In my opinion, only human are good or evil, not God. Assign this human things to something that we dont know if exists or not, is an error and a way to avoid our own acts.

God created this world and man. And people themselves make this world good or evil. It all depends on who is treating different things and situations. And there are more good in this world.

If God created all that is on earth, then God created the evil also. Most likely for balance or for people to have an understanding of why good should be good. Although evil exists not only in the world of people. Among animals this is also seen.

Evil must be for balance, but God can not create evil. Evil is creating evil. Then the question arises who created God and the devil?

As said in the bible, God created evil. Please go read your bible. God created evil, as for who created God? His God, we don't know.

The loving, giving God created evil at the request of mankind and the devil, who created the concept of evil.

Then God did what the evil would do to Him and to mankind. He died in the form of God and man... Jesus dying on the cross. When Jesus arose on the third day, God showed that evil had been conquered.

We all die as did God in the form of Jesus. We all will rise as did Jesus in the form of man. Evil is gone since Jesus did His work of dying and rising. Even the semblance of evil that we see in this life will be entirely gone when we rise from the dead.

Cool

Then based on your comment,"The loving, giving God created evil at the request of mankind and the devil, who created the concept of evil", you're saying mankind is greater than God. For us to have an ability to create a concept such as evil which "God" was unaware of proves that he is not omnipotent, or at the very least, omniscience(all knowing) and that we can create things even he had no concept of prior...

Your words are contradicting and hurting your argument, BADECKER.

God created evil, all things comes from God. Every hurtful, sinful thing, murder, rape, etc etc, all comes from God...and that's according to the bible.

God, in His love and kindness, is trying to give mankind the best. Freedom to create and do evil is freedom. If we didn't have freedom, we would be like the animals, definitely not the best.

God was aware of the concept of evil right when the devil created it. There is no way to be aware of a concept that doesn't exist.

Your agenda keeps your mind from thinking clearly enough to understand what is going on. So, your words are faulty as is your thinking.

God didn't create evil. He is even destroying the evil that was created. In the new heaven and earth there will be no evil. Even those who are against God (this is evil) will be destroyed in the lake of fire, where they will be smelted down over eternity so that God can get His energy back from them... in its basic form, of course. God is greater than and beyond eternity.

Cool

Again, you're making no sense. You haven't even attempted to rebuff my claim.

If I go by your viewpoint that humans created the concept of evil, then that means humans have power over god, since humans can create a concept that even god in unaware of. And here's where everyone can see you have No Idea what you're talking about. You previously said this, " The loving, giving God created evil at the request of mankind and the devil, who created the concept of evil". Now, you're saying this, "God didn't create evil", and this, "God was aware of the concept of evil right when the devil created it.". So you yourself have no idea what you're saying, Lmao. You're contradicting what you're saying entirely...

So...it's either you believe humans are powerful enough to outsmart god itself, or that god created evil. One or the other.

Since the bible clearly says god created/creates evil as shown here(Please go open your nearest bible and take a look): Isaiah 45:7 "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things."

What is there to rebut? The Bible says that God creates evil, right.

The thing that the Bible doesn't say is that God IS evil. In fact, quite the opposite. Jesus, Himself, said that God alone is good.

Just because you can't understand how God can be only good, and yet create evil, isn't important. Either you believe God or you don't.

All I have been doing is attempting to explain to folks HOW God can create evil, and still only be good.

Cool
