God does note allow evil. Now, folks will try and refer you to Isaiah 45:7 and tell you, as in the KJV that it is pericious evil. Don't believe them. You have to be careful about rendering the word "evil" from ancient Hebrew to English, particularly as it is read from Isaiah 45:7. This is where a great deal of confusion among Protestants and Catholics gets turned around. The word here means not "evil" as we understand it, but more in the meaning of the word "confusion" To fully explain why we actually experience in our conscious awareness the state we call evil, let me refer you to Gen. 2:17, here it is man who made the decision to become aware of evil as well as good. Before that time man existed in Eden where his world was only absolute balance and harmony, the middle path, neither good nor evil. Only through a conscious decision on man's part did he enter the realm where evil exist. You still have the same choice as Adam and Eve had. Do you eat of the fruit or not, in otherwords become aware of, as well as exist in the realm of good and evil?You have a choice, or so I discovered to my family's dismay.This is a difficult concept to grasp, but it will help you if you check out any of the books by Joel Goldsmith. They have liberated me from the fundamentalistic world I was lost in before. Mind you, not the books themselves, rather the wisdom they contain. I bet I'll get a ton of emails now from those lost down the road to fundamentalism and Calvary. Oh, well, at least maybe I liberated one more soul lost in the transgressive-ridden world of fundamental misconceptrions. | ||||||

Gosh, it sounds like God does ALL the work... Isaiah 50:8 8 He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me. Exodus 23:23 23 For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: AND I WILL CUT THEM OFF. Numbers 22:30,31 30 And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay. 31 Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face. 1 Kings 5:4 4 But now the LORD my God hath given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrent. 1 Kings 11:14 14 And the LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king’s seed in Edom.
