Subject: Is God responsible for evil? |
Bible Note: Q.1 Is God the primary cause of evil? A. 1 John 1:3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. Had there been no creation there would be no evil. So, yes, God is the primary cause of evil. Q. 2 Or is God liable to be called on to answer for evil? A. 2 1 Cor 8:6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him. Since there is only one God, there is no one for him to answer to. So, no, God is not liable to be called on to answer for evil. Q. 3 Or is God to blame for evil? A. 3. Blame same as liable. See A. 2. Q. 4 Is it all His fault? A. 4. "All His fault" equals "all because of Him" (This how I understand the question. Correct me if I took the meaning of this or any of your questions wrongly.) Ultimately, yes. See A. 1. Yours for His sake and for mutual understanding of His word, Lionstrong |
