Why Did God Create Evil?

[FLYINHAWAIIAN]

I didn't read the whole thread but it could have ended here.

Most people are proud to say that they do what they want to their own lives, but complain about the power of choice God has given them

God didn't create the evil, but He does allow it to have some power over our lives so that we may choose the path of wisdom or the path of damnation.

Isaiah 45:7
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace and create evil: I the Lord do all these things

God didnt create evil?

 

[Kairi Irving]

Uh yes.
All the people god had killed in the scriptures.


Innocent animals, babies, children, adults...how many people has satan killed?

Everything satan done was ordained by god on a ego trip

Its not evil if God did it though

Its not evil if God did it though

And there you have it folks..brainwashing at its finest.

Yeah you're right, this is one of the reasons why I felt like the premise of the thread was shaky.

Thanks for the recommendation breh, I'll cop it

The premise of the question is, indeed, flawed.

It's also a very, very, very old criticism that was answered, theologically, in the Book of Job 3,500+ years ago.​

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

You just made the best argument for this.

I always give my sims hell. It's really the only fun part. That and creating the characters

Well, also consider, what exactly would a 'perfect person' be? By what objective standard could someone be judged 'perfect'? How tall? What skin/eye/hair color? Male or female? How many fingers/toes? Can they beat me in Madden? Do they buss they guns? Is Biggie in their Top 5?

God is supreme evil and supreme good all at once.

Why did you post the King James Version
If you look at other translations it’s does not say evil
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light and create the darkness; I bring prosperity and create calamity. I, the LORD, do all these things.

Logically its correct. Its even said in the bible goofy nikka

It is completely fine for him to be jealous, wrathful etc because he IS the Creatorm I don't get how nikkas like you can't fathom shut, aren't you atheist supposed to be transcendent intellectuals with a higher understanding? lol

1) the kjv came before the new version

2) doesnt have to say "evil" its still a synonym.

3) strong's concordance for Evil
Strong’s Definitions
רַע raʻ, rah; from H7489; bad or (as noun) evil (natural or moral):—adversity, affliction, bad, calamity

Balance. Just like level spelled backwards is level.

 

[analog]

Y'all 4 pages deep bickering about the qualities of a fictional character that no one has ever been able to reliably demonstrate its existence.

Why don't yall ask yourself why you believe in him first. Is there good reason supported by good evidence to do so?

If he would have posted a different translation we would have not have a thread.

How? Evil still means evil no matter what synonym.
And why try and replace to closer to original version with a newer one? The context is still there regardless.

"Why did god create evil"
"Why did god create calamity"
"Why did god create adversity"

Dont matter what word you wanna put there
