Subject: Did God create evil? |
Bible Note: SIN IS NOT ITSELF A THING CREATED "Evil originates not from God but from the fallen creature... "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. "Sin is simply a want of moral perfection in a fallen creature. Fallen creatures themselves bear full responsibility for their sin. And all evil in the universe emanates from the sins of fallen creatures" (www.gty.org). |
