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: Evil equals sin? If Lucifer has choice and makes the wrong one. Who created the sin? James 1:13 says, God does not cause anyone to sin nor does he sin himself. Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. God's perfect will. So God has a will and it is perfect. found evil in Lucifer? I believe that is making an assumption. Who is to say Lucifer did not create or made a bad chose of evil? James 1:14 says every man is tempted when drawn away from his own lust. Lucifer in Is 14:12-14"....I will exalt my throne above the stars of God....." was the lust of pride that caused this fall, I believe. And the easiest way to explain Lucifer's sin is: Pro 17:11 An evil [man] seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him. So the question should be. If God created free will did he create sin or evil? He created an avenue of choice and that Lucifer and man chose rebellion against God. Evil is a choice and God created choice. But our choice to do good or evil and then it is created when our lust conceives as James says. Isa 55:9 For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Man's thinking is far lower then God's. And some questions will never be answered to our logic. charley |
