1 | Did God create evil? | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 5335 | ||
God created everything good. The angels had freewill. Lucifer chose to do evil, by sinning. God is not the author of sin, yet evil serves his purposes. He does not violate our free will, yet free will serves his purposes. |

I understand that the choice to do good or evil lies with those who have free will but how did evil arise in a creation made good by God? |

Dear Cephas, Lucifer (Satan) is the first being to manifest evil recorded in the Bible. He is the 'origin' of evil. He did not 'create' it, he simply allowed his 'self' to come before God. Rather than glorify the creator, he glorified the created thing (himself) and initiated the maelstrom of evil. Please, do not say that God allowed it, so God made it! Because if you say this, then you have determined to make God into a yin-yang God, leading only to mysticism and the absolution of man. This is dangerous, and mocks our Lord and Savior. Please accept that God is absolutely good, and evil came only from the 'evil one.' If you are going to continue, please tell us what your purpose is, your ulterior motive? Blessings in Christ Jesus, charis |

I have no ulterior motive other than to know the truth.I am a genuine seeker.I also need to know so that I have an answer for those who also ask these questions.But banging me with doctrine won't help.I have also chosen this forum to ask these hard questions because I am unable to ask them in my local church or that there is no one who can answer them | ||||||

You want to know the truth and need to know, but banging you with doctrine won't help? Pray tell, what will help? If the answer to your question is not to be found in Bible doctrine, then where is it to be found? What would you like folks to be banging you with? Reader's Digest, Popular Mechanics, Southern Living, TV Guide, philosophy, New Age crystals, opinions off the top of people's heads with no supporting Scriptural reference? If you truly do not want Bible doctrine and a clear explanation from Scriptue, I can recommend about a dozen posters on this Forum who will be glad to oblige you. |
