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: Thanks for all the useful replies, but my question is still open for definitive answers beyond the faith-filled, scripture-exhorted answers which I too believe and know. Essentially, I'm wondering how is it that if we believe that prior to God there was nothing and ALL things that are came from Him, the origin, then how can we explain the mere existence of evil without it being a part of the originil creator, the beginning? Maybe this quesion is an irrelevant one and I have faith in God Almighty regardless of my lack of understanding, but I like to grasp such thoughts beyond the routine things. Thanks for the replies. |
