Amos 6:3

Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it?

Psalm 78:49



49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.


Damn he sounds bitter af, why you so mad god?

Infinity is the opposite of zero

:patrice:

Infinity is the opposite of one, or of "a few".

Zero represents absence. "Zero apples" means you have no apples, not that you have a few.

The opposite of having no apples is...having an apple. One is the opposite of zero. There is, or there isn't.

Correct you can't have good without evil
Whenever one side is formed the opposite of it is created automatically
@KyokushinKarateMan
:yeshrug: natural order. What's life without death?

This is the literally the best, most relevant answer in the entire thread. However, it only answers HOW evil was created, not why. Why did god create good if it needs evil in order to exist? If I had the type of power and knowing that he has, surely I would’ve simply created a better “algorithm”. Good wouldn’t need evil, nor would evil come of it. And I would embed, in my people, the knowledge of what is good, without them ever having to experience evil. It is something they will inherently know because I would’ve created them so.

So it still begs the question, why didn’t he simply do that^? Why create evil; or, why create a variable(good) that needs evil in order for it to be relevant. You have all the power, why not create the world without knowledge of good or evil and just make everyone perfect and happy?

“Bububut you can’t be happy if you don’t know sadness” - Yes you can if you were created with the ability to. So why didn’t he?

So if he created light, at what point did he create darkness? And why was darkness not mentioned before light if it already existed?

Only True light can come from darkness this is a scientific fact

Dark/Black does not necessarily mean bad or evil mind you

Romans 9:19-23

19 Well then, you might say, “Why does God blame people for not responding? Haven’t they simply done what he makes them do?” 20 No, don’t say that. Who are you, a mere human being, to argue with God? Should the thing that was created say to the one who created it, “Why have you made me like this?” 21 When a potter makes jars out of clay, doesn’t he have a right to use the same lump of clay to make one jar for decoration and another to throw garbage into? 22In the same way, even though God has the right to show his anger and his power, he is very patient with those on whom his anger falls, who are destined for destruction. 23 He does this to make the riches of his glory shine even brighter on those to whom he shows mercy, who were prepared in advance for glory.

GTFOH with this absolute f*n NONSENSE :russ: What type of sociopath do you have to be to make SOME people destined for glory and some people destined for destruction and allowing pain and suffering, when you can say to hell with all of that sh*t and just make everybody straight :dead: wha type of egomaniac do you have to be to create something with the ability to understand creation but turn around command it not to question its purpose :mjlol:.

As I figured, no one in the thread can answer the simple question of why was evil created. What’s the big thrill he’s getting out of it? It’s just like how no one can explain why he allows pain and suffering without trying to direct you to 50 million bible verses and two books of revelations.

A simple question such as why is pain and suffering allowed, should be able to be answered just as simply as it’s asked. If I created it, I would be able to answer it. But that’s just me.

And it’s a little disturbing how easy it is to have pain and suffering enter your life, but explaining why you have to go through such a thing in the first place is like explaining rocket science. It takes .00001 seconds to catch a bullet to the brain and inflict a LIFETIME of suffering in your loved ones, but it takes an encyclopedia length explanation to tell me why? Naw something ain’t right bruh:mjlol:

I confused to as what you're mad at? I'm not really familar with the NIV not to mention you copied and pasted it weird dawg. But the answer to the question WHY in juedo-christian text was in Romans 9.

What
if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: 23And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, 24

Romans 9:19-23 New International Version (NIV)
19 One of you will say to me:F)" style="font-size: 0.625em; line-height: 22px; vertical-align: top;">21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?G)" style="font-size: 0.625em; line-height: 22px; vertical-align: top;">

22 What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patienceH)" style="font-size: 0.625em; line-height: 22px; vertical-align: top;"> the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction?I)" style="font-size: 0.625em; line-height: 22px; vertical-align: top;"> 23 What if he did this to make the riches of his gloryJ)" style="font-size: 0.625em; line-height: 22px; vertical-align: top;"> known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for gloryK)" style="font-size: 0.625em; line-height: 22px; vertical-align: top;">—

GTFOH with this absolute f*cking NONSENSE :laff:

Well first you have to humble yourself and then you'll get the answer

When he says things like "I am the Lord "

A humbled you will understand that he is above reproach. We are his creations. He can do what he wills to do with our lives. We should just give thanks for grace, it is sufficient :wow:

Be happy just for existing? I didn’t ask him to create me, did you ask him to create you?

He did us a favor by bringing us into his little game he’s playing with satan or whomever he’s trying to prove sh*t to? And I should be happy about it, right? Grow up, breh.

Same verse worded differently same juelzing and barely sensible babble.

It is a very straightforward question. And considering how straightforward Evil comes at you in the universe he created, it should have a very simple straightforward answer.

To not have one, to have to rely on over-juelzing 5 different bible verses at a time, is suspect.
