Subject: Who created Evil? |
Bible Note: "Ngop, satan created evil before the world was created here are his names and titles, devil, adversary, satan, belial, lucifer, dragan, serpent, eneny tempter, wicked one, beelzebub, god of this world, prince of this world, accuser of the breathern, prince of the power of the air, the anoited cherub, angle of light, prince of the devil, the thief, king over all the children of pride, leviathin.if you need the scripture for theses please" Dear DL5 From what did Satan "create" evil? There was a time that he was good was'nt there? Think about it a minute...At the time of his creation he was good. Somewhere along the line, he got the idea that he would rebel against God. Since (as you say) he created evil itself, where did his evil plan to rise above God come from? Was it not evil to even consider creating evil? I also noted that none of his titles are Creator of Evil". What is evil anyway? It has no shape or form, you can't see or feel, taste or touch it. The way I see it is that God created men and angels to obey Him or dis-obey Him. Dis-obeying God is evil. It's not a created thing. God created all things that have been created. When He created creatures, He allowed them to choose between obediance and dis-obediance (good and evil). John |
