1 | Where did evil come from? | Prov 16:4 | DAW | 168575 | ||
I know that God gave us free will to choose good or evil but where does evil come from? Did God create it,if so why? What made Satan sin in the first place, where did he get the idea from? Knowing many would end up in hell why did he allow evil to exist in the first place? | ||||||
2 | Where did evil come from? | Prov 16:4 | atdcross | 168580 | ||
DAW By "evil" I assume you mean primarily "sin". As such, evil originated in Lucifer (Ezekiel 28:15). God did not create evil. He did create the angel Lucifer. Lucifer's desired to be like God and, acting upon that desire through rebellion against God, he sinned (Ezekiel 28:17; Isaiah 11:13-14). Why ultimately God allowed sin is not known for certain, I least, I don't know the answer except to say that, with respect to mankind, he loved man and desired fellowship with those whomever he could save, if not all (John 3:16). |
