1 | Where did evil come from? | Gen 3:22 | Lionstrong | 83659 | ||
"evil does not exist. Evil is simply the absence of God. Evil is a term man developed to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. It isn't like truth, or love, which exist as virtues like heat and light. Evil is simply the state where God is not present, like cold without heat or darkness without light." The professor had nothing to say" Since this is a forum for Bible study, someone should do a study on the subject of evil. I'm sure the above statement will prove to be false and sophistic. Sin is evil. And sin is not the absence of God. Besides, God is omnipresent. So if God (who, by the way, created the tree of the knowledge of good and evil) is everywhere, then there would be no evil, if the above view of evil were true. Even if we make our bed in hell, God is there. (Ps 139:8) |

Lionstrong Stop thinking inside the box. Absence can mean far more than the limited definition you assigned to it. Sin is in fact the absence of God, the absence of God's obedience in our lives, the absence of God's will in our lives, the absence of God's law in our lives. The absence of the every essence of God in our lives. Since God is the living definition of righteousness, holiness, truth, honor, justice, love, and good; then could it not be said, without violating the laws of sensibility, that the absence of God is in fact evil?

"Sin is in fact the absence of God" This is a fine biblical definition of sin! Where in the Bible did you get it? |
