2 | Did God create "EVIL"? | Rom 5:12 | zerotheory | 65767 | ||
[quote from Robert] Have you considered the post from brother Tim Moran last Friday? Quote ""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." So, evil did not have to be created, nor did it have to exist prior to creation. It simply was a natural result of the creation of beings with a will. Once the possiblity existed for Adam and Eve to disobey God, evil resulted. " (End of quote thanks to Tim Moran) Zero, re- "the knowledge of good and evil" Knowledge refers to the ability of a person to know the difference. Adam and Eve after receiving the knowledge of good and evil due to their act of disobedience experienced the feeling shame for the first time. I cannot except the idea of evil before creation. We are not given very much information about before creation, except that God had looked down through the ages and had purposed to redeem lost sinners through Christ "before the world began" Eph. 1:4 In Strong's concordance "evil" Strong's #07451 transliterated "Ra" is an adjective which would support the idea that we have evil actions as seen in disobedience and good actions as seen in obedience to God. Since God is the standard, everything else is measured relative to him. "In the beginning God (Elohim) Gen. 1:1 If try to look into the dateless past we find "Elohim" who was, who is and who will be, forever, for he is eternal. Peace in his name Robert **************End Quote************ "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." [Gen. 2:16-17]"And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: [ver.17] But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." Clearly "GOOD" and "EVIL" exist and they exist only together. And they existed prior to creation. The choice is not a tree of "GOOD" *or* a tree of "EVIL", it's a tree of "GOOD and EVIL". "Since God is the standard, everything else is measured relative to him." Here is a "ZERO" theory summary: Everything, with the exception of "0", has an opposite that neutralizes the other and brings the two back to "0"(the "STANDARD"). Example:(positive-negative)(black-white)(night-day)(before-after)(up-down)(-2....2)(GOOD-EVIL). The twist is that they are both dependant upon each other for their very own existence, you can't have one without the other or they will both cease to exist. They both cease to exist because if you had just all "GOOD" then it wouldn't be "good" anymore it would be "STANDARD" and it can't be "STANDARD" because only "0" is "STANDARD". Can you see why I need to know where "evil" came from? Did God create "evil"? |

3 | Question about the "ZERO" theory. | Dan 1:4 | zerotheory | 65787 | ||
Pastor Glenn, did you have a question regarding the "ZERO" theory? I thought I saw a question up on Saturday but did not have time to respond. |

4 | Where did evil come from? | Rom 5:12 | zerotheory | 65540 | ||
Thanks Tim. [quote from Tim] "The text you quoted actually answers your question. Gen. 3:22 does not say that Adam and Eve became gods. It says that they, like God, had come to know good and evil. That is the only point of comparision made in this verse. It does not say that Adam became all powerful, all present, all knowing, or eternal. It only says that, like God, they had come to know good and evil." How is it that evil came about? Where did evil come from? Obviously it was around before any creation took place. |

5 | When evil began? | Rom 5:12 | zerotheory | 65530 | ||
[Gen. 3:5] speaks of good and evil as well as [Gen. 3:22,23]"And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: [Ver.23] Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. How did evil come about? Who was God speaking to? Again, why is he referencing "us"? If he was speaking about the trinity then he just said Man has became a God. ???? |

7 | In Gen 1.26, God refers to us and our.. | Bible general Archive 1 | zerotheory | 65362 | ||
In Genesis 1.26 "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." When God said *us* and *our* who are the others he is speaking to and referring of? From the statement it seems that God was not alone. |
