1 | were angels saved by works? | 2 Pet 2:4 | John Reformed | 97632 | ||
Gen 2:9 Out of the ground the LORD God caused to grow every tree that is pleasing to the sight and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. I take it that you do not believe that Adam and Eve were the first man and woman, but that, there was a pre-adamic race. Is that right? John |

Hi John, that is a question that we must answer for ourself, there are many theories, but the only thing I know is what the Bible says, God cannot be tempted and neather can He temp any Man. Sence God didnot create evil, the Evil had to come from somewhere else,Gen 2:15-17, specifically states that God showed Adam, eve as yet was not created, so evil entered into existance before Eve was decieved, we cant get around that. As far as an pre Adamic race some call it Ante-Diluvial.Sence God cannot tempt any man then the serpent allready had evil within it,and the evil never came from God. DL5 | ||||||

Why do you say that evil is a created thing? Afterall, evil has no body or spirit. It does not take up space; It has no will of it's own and it can't suffer or rejoice. Evil is not a thing. It is a word! A word that describes an action. We may say, "He did an evil deed.", for instance. Look at it this way a moment...When a runner wins a foot race he said to be "fast". Does that mean that God created "fast"? Of course not. Now, He did give things which He created the ability to be "fast" or to be slow; The same is true of evil. He gave man the ability to do evil or to do good. Do you see my meaning? John |

HI John, even thou youve ignored the subject, lets look at evil spirits, yes there are evil spirits, its not just a word, Look at Judg. 9:23,1sam., 16:14-23, 18:10, 19:9,how many more verses does it take to make Gods word true, In my opinion 1. i would say after you read these that you will agree.

Dairy Leader 5 - For the second time this evening, friend, I beg to disagree! No, in my estimation, John has not ignored the subject but answered it quite well. And yes, I agree with you that there are evil spirits. But no, I don't agree that evil and evil spirits are the same. "Evil" is a word used to describe the attributes of the spirits. It is not the spirits themselves. Do you dig? --Hank | ||||||

Hi Hank, John was saying that evil was not a spirit, just a word, what he continues to ignore is that in Gen 2:15,16,17. Eve at that time was not created, and God showed the tree to Adam.The knowledge of good and evil were allready with the tree before eve and the tree was not created by God specifically for adam and eve, because God cannot create evil. My point in this scripture is that the evil was created befor the tree was planted, where but satan could it come from.As far as saying evil and evil spirits were the same was misunderstood.

DL5 - Perhaps a couple of questions will help you to fix and clarify your thoughts. Is God the creator of all things? Is evil a created thing? If evil is a created thing, and God created all things, then God created evil? If God created all things but He did not create evil, then evil is not a created thing, isn't that true? And if evil is not a created thing, then it must be something else, do you agree? And if it is something else, it cannot be a created thing, won't you also agree? --Hank | ||||||

Hi Hank, I LOVE THAT ANSWER. Sence we both Agree that evil spirits are real, and spirits were created, and God cannot creat evil, then who created them? I think one day well know. You have a good spirit about you and I can call you brother. DL5 | ||||||

Hi DL5, 1 John 4:2, "By this you know the Spirit [I personally would say "spirit"] of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; 3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; and this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world." 1 John 4:1, "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world." 1 John 4:6c, "By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error." 1 John 4:13, "By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit." [ I would say personally that He has given us of His "spirit"]. We have the spirit of love for one another. The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love. And we know by this that He abides in us, by the *spirit which He has given us. 1 John 3:24 From the heart, Ray |
