Subject: do you believe that God's does evil? |
Bible Note: Just as a further illustraton on this point. Was it a "bad" thing that Jesus was crucified? It was "evil," but good came forth from it. One might say, "but God didn't cause or create the crucifiction" I'd ask, to whom was the sacrifice made? not to man, all sacrifices and offerings are made TO God. However, Jesus was slain "before the foundation of the world. I'd ask, who else was there? Jesus IS God, and offered Himself. 1 Samuel 16:23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him. 1 Samuel 19:9 And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with his hand. The only "evil" God "creates" are events which set other events in motion to lead to a "good" outcome, though that outcome is never seen, until later. |
