Bible Question: If God created everything, and evil was found in Lucifer,then does it follow that God created evil? If God did not create evil,then who did? And does it then follow that God is not the creator of everything? |
Bible Answer: Boy! Cephas, you have taken a lot of heat trying to get an answer to this question. I think I understand your problem with people trying to answer it with what you call doctrine. Orthodoxy in his/her answer is on the right path but stopped short. John 1:3 "All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being." For “free will” to be meaningful we had to given a choice, follow God (good) or not to follow God (evil). How do we reconcile all of this with our understanding that God is a good God? Isaiah 55:8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord. We have to trust God. What seems unjust or unfair to us may be God’s way of leading us to a greater victory and greater rewards. |
