1 | Did God create evil? | 3 John 1:11 | Morant61 | 5333 | ||
Greetings, 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. Tim Moran |

Morant61: You are to be commended. You hit the nail on the head and got right to the heart of this question when you wrote: Evil is not a thing that can be created. "Evil originates not from God but from the fallen creature. I agree with John Calvin, who wrote, "'It is helpful, I think, to understand that sin is not itself a thing created. Sin is neither substance, being, spirit, nor matter. So it is technically not proper to think of sin as something that was created.'"
