Bible Question:
I understand that the choice to do good or evil lies with those who have free will but how did evil arise in a creation made good by God? |
Bible Answer: Hi Cephas, The Lucifer explanation doesn't answer the question; it only pushes it further back. How could an angel, created good, entertain an evil thought? Did someone tempt and trick him like Eve was? Ultimately it arose according to the soveriegn will and eternal plan of almight God. The Bible is practical, and tells us how sin (and death through sin) entered the world, but is silent on EXACTLY how evil came to be in the first place, again except that it came by God's design and will result in His glory. Eph 1:11 ...according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will, Eph 1:12 to the end ... would be to the praise of His glory. Peace in the Lamb Lionstrong |
