1 | When and how EVIL came about? | Rom 5:12 | zerotheory | 65527 | ||
[Gen. 3:5] speaks of good and evil as well as [Gen. 3:22,23]"And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: [Ver.23] Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. How did evil come about? Who was God speaking to? Again, why is he referencing "us"? If he was speaking about the trinity then he just said Man has became a God. ???? |

Greetings Zerotheory! The text you quoted actually answers your question. Gen. 3:22 does not say that Adam and Eve became gods. It says that they, like God, had come to know good and evil. That is the only point of comparision made in this verse. It does not say that Adam became all powerful, all present, all knowing, or eternal. It only says that, like God, they had come to know good and evil. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Thanks Tim. [quote from Tim] "The text you quoted actually answers your question. Gen. 3:22 does not say that Adam and Eve became gods. It says that they, like God, had come to know good and evil. That is the only point of comparision made in this verse. It does not say that Adam became all powerful, all present, all knowing, or eternal.

Greetings Zerotheory! I have addressed this question previously, I believe! Yes, I found it. Here is what I wrote: "This is a tough question. My short answer would be this: Evil is not a thing that can be created. Rather, evil is the choice to disobey God's law. Evil is a natural possibility where choices are really available." So, evil did not have to be created, nor did it have to exist prior to creation. It simply was a natural result of the creation of beings with a will. Once the possiblity existed for Adam and Eve to disobey God, evil resulted. I have to run to work now! Chat with you later! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
