Bible Question: I would like to know your thughts and ref. scriptures that would help me relate to the fact that all things came from God and there was no thing was that was not created by Him...So with evil/Satan...these must also be a part of God since ALL things came from Him that are in existence??? |
Bible Answer: God is light and in him is no darkness at all. God created Lucifer as His second in command, the angel of light. And He created him with free will and Lucifer chose to do evil. Just as we each have free will to choose to do good or evil. It was man that decided to sin against God. God did not create evil, it was Lucifer's rebellion against God that brought evil into the world. Ezekiel 28:15: You [Lucifer] were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, till iniquity was found in you. |
