1 | God created evil? | Genesis | melchizedekau | 889 | ||
collosions 1:16 all things are created by God. eph 3:9 ,isaiah 54:16.Isaiah 45:7 create evil. this was done by God showing himself, i will give an example; drawing a boundary line , if we cross that line we are out of our boundary, if there was no boundary line what would our boundary be ? By saying to adam "dont eat or you shall surely die " He created a boundary in once adam ate he was in darkness and died thus creating evil.he also created lucifer knowing what would befall him but God saw the end with us in it so there fore is the saying ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD TO THOSE WHO ARE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE. | ||||||
2 | God created evil? | Genesis | charis | 895 | ||
I don't buy it, melchizedekau. I do believe that God created all things, But I cannot believe He created all attitudes, all sin, and all evil. Or are you saying he only a portion of evil? I don't buy that, either. The 'boundary' thing is a bit too thin, and too philosophical. This seems to be saying that God tempted Adam. Also, this would be saying that God created Satan for the purpose of evil. This sounds like a strange form of puppeteering or entertainment. I believe that God created Lucifer, but Lucifer created Satan. God created the darkeness (obscurity), but does this mean evil? 1 John 1:5 "And this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all." So, either the Bible is contradictory (impossible!) or these two scriptures are both correct. I definitely lean toward God having no darkness at all, including the blame for evil. In Christ Jesus. |

well all i can say is i am glad that the deep things of God are not for sale. They must be sought after. unless you can understand the the Lord has ALL THINGS under his feet and EVERY KNEE shall bow at his presence. He is LORD if you dont understand then put those things on a shelf and let the Lord take them off. dont worry about doctrine as long as your relationship with Jesus is spoton where it should be.Keep your eyes on Jesus not on People. Bless your walk with the Lord! ask yourself where was the darkness? if it wasnt in God where then ?lucifer was satans name in heaven. do astudy on name changes and see how God moved in their lives. example abram and his wife, lucifer, gideon, jacob,daniel and his friends joseph, peter,paul,even Jesus had a name change seek and you will find there are heaps | ||||||
4 | (still) God created evil? | Genesis | charis | 946 | ||
Dear melchizedekau, Though fully aware that I can never purchase my salvation or repay the debt incurred, I continue daily to give myself to my Lord Jesus, and invest in His kingdom. Please understand, good fellow, that it is your interpretation that I refuse to buy. Frankly, it seems to be an emotional issue, rather than a holy conviction. Your argument is shallow, though you seem to claim full understanding of the 'deep' things. I would still like to see where in the Bible it says that God created evil (sin, lawlessness), which can be described as 'against God,' and how you so easily dispose of I John 1:5 (et al)? Blessings in Christ Jesus. | ||||||
5 | (still) God created evil? | Genesis | melchizedekau | 956 | ||
if God created all things isnt the word ALL enough for you? i am glad to hear that you are in the Lord daily.i know nothing of what the LOrd has in Christ for us or in us . i proclaim that deep calls to deep.although without love we have nothing. the closer to Jesus i Get the less i seem to know. just remember even those desires you have for the Lord, He has put them there . we cannot glory in anything. He has Chosen us.1john 1:5 this clearly states that there is no darkness in God! where is the darkness?Eph 6:12 .Col 1:13we are not in darkness any more. | ||||||
6 | (still) God created evil? | Genesis | charis | 962 | ||
I get it, melchizedekau. You are saying that God created an adversary for His plan. This same logic would be the same as a video game maker creating a good guy and a bad guy in order to have an interesting product. God made evil that we may escape it. If I create wealth, then I am responsible for the greed another may have toward that wealth. This is a twisted form of logic I am not familiar with. So, there is no good thing in us? In the same manner, there is no evil in us either. After all, God put it there, right? Flip Wilson would be very upset! Instead of, "The Devil made me do it!" it would be, "God made me do it!" After all, your logic states that God created evil, predestining me to perform it. Hung up on the word 'all' as meaning all sin, past, present and future, making our Lord the author of all evil is different than any doctrine I have ever heard. I have seen more evidence in the Bible that says there is no darkness (evil) in Jesus at 'all' than to the contrary. I can see that you are comfortable in your opinion, so enjoy it. In Christ Jesus, the Light of the world. | ||||||
7 | (still) God created evil? | Genesis | melchizedekau | 1006 | ||
No you dont seem to have it quite yet !OK you have a good analogy there. lets start at the top. computor manufacturer Mr G decides to make a self thinking computor.So th is giant trains the best people, knowing one day they can at any time go out on ther own but he lets them in on all the top secret stuff and raises them up to be big heads of departments Mr s. But Mr s wants the whole show and rebelion starts and Mr G says get lost this is my baby. So Mr s takes a thrird of the workers all high up and highly trained persons. So Mr G makes millions of those self thinking computors they are all programed with the same basic program .a virus is put out by the competetor Mr s, who used to work for the giant because he tried to take over the corporation he was a very smart and knowledgablehe knew all the corporation ways and how every computor would react. each an individual computor. Mr G knew Mr s would start a rival corporation and send out viruses to corupt the files in these computors. Mr s got to them all even the ones in the office of Mr G so he had to get them out before they corrupted any other files or the main frame as they were not connected to that yet.so out they went and had to think for them selves guards were placed on the doors just in case they tried to get back in.Mr G watched on and wept as he saw the viruses change his creation to something so hiddius and aweful he couldnt watch any more.Something had to be done . Mr G had a son he loved so much so he said i will make my son a computor Mr J and put an anti virus pack and a modem to the mainframe so who ever connects to him will will recieve an new anti virus program and program it so that the real anti virus would be installed after the computors had restarted.Mr s was waiting for this new species of computor when it was released he bombarded it with as much spam as he could but the anti virus program worked wonderfully and he connected with a few and they recieved the new programs then Mr s got real mad and got the most infected computors and programed them to destroy this new breed of computor starting with Mr J. but Mr s hadnt realised that Mr J had net worked. so as it came to pass Mr s turned Mr J off and threw him back to Mr G who in turn took his son in and turned him back on with new parts installed and a net work and modem still in operation he then sent his son back out to tell all that there is a way to fix your selves by getting this modem so that they could recieve updates and hot fixes and work like they should with speed and efficency many recieved this modem and were different computors each day they connected with auto update but many couldnt see past their key boards and stayed infected to different degrees of corruption. it was their choice and they chose not to update.Will you make that choice?------ you see if Mr G hadnt of trained Mr s knowing that this might happen , well knowing that a person who has trust will give their best in all things but trust had to be given first same as Love we reap what we sow and what has God sown for us all ?

Maitta! No mas! Please, I beg you, no more! I wanted to figure out your analogy, so thought I would print it out. Cut and paste refused! GPF! BSoD! Ater reset into safe mode, success! But after pasting into Word, my spell-check exploded. Terminal red-squiggles! Did you write the macro to hide your identity? You are correct, Mr G created Windows 9x AND Mr s! Ctrl-Alt-Del. Auto Update successful. Please reboot. Thank you, all is clear, now. In Christ Jesus. | ||||||

. . . Charis, I just wanted to pass along to you the following. I wrote it BEFORE I read your Note, "Maitta! No mas." Looks like we were both thinking along the same lines re "(still) God created evil?" . . . re the computer that Mr. G. made (?) . . . Unanswered Genesis JVH0212 Mon 03-12-01, 12:20pm . . . I have a question. This computer that Mr. G. made -- does it come with Spell Checker? |
