Why Did God Create Evil?

[FLYINHAWAIIAN]

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?

They dont even realize that they base their values off of he-say. The whole book is about men saying this person we cant see said and did ___.

 

[Kairi Irving]

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.

KJV is the most OG version, everything else is most likely heavily altered like some of them now removed homosexuality from the bible

Word... who are these men, why should they be believed, how can their claims be verified/proven, etc...

People devote their whole lives to shyt they don't understand, let alone prove

There can’t be good without evil.

The Son Of God justifying Satan?

Most epic heel turn ever

Folks believe this shyt has validity because its old.
If somebody wrote a book in 2019 with bible content, folks would call it bullshyt

This question lies outside science and can't be verified or falsified using the scientific method.

That leaves philosophy/theology as the only means by which this 'guess' can even be grasped.​

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

It matters very much because a calamity and adversity are not looked at something that is moral. When people think evil they are thinking morality

As for what religion/spiritual system, I have my own that is rooted primarily Taoist philosophy and the true teachings of Christ (not Christianity).

Then the problem is even worse since morality is subjective. What is 'evil' to some people may not be 'evil' to others.

I tried to tell another poster that the word used was 'calamity' but he INSISTED that it meant 'evil'.

He can't read Hebrew, though.​

No, it isn't. The most OG version (of the OT) is from the Dead Sea Scrolls.

You can read them here....

Digital Dead Sea Scrolls

The writers of the KJV didn't have access to this and a few thousand other texts that have surfaced over the past 400 years since the KJV first saw print.

Based on the plethora of manuscripts we can be reasonably sure that the original text is preserved within the textual tradition.​

Debate cac scriptures brehs.

 

[Emoryal]

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.

Why can't God give people "free will" AND make the world free from evil?

So what's the point you're making? Sounds like you just tryna change to a whole different conversation.

God created evil (or whatever synonym you wanna accept) and the scripture says it

 

[FLYINHAWAIIAN]

Why can't God give people "free will" AND make the world free from evil?

...he made heaven that way tho remember?


but when it comes to earth, he chose not to. He rather watch his evil plan play out.

God is demonic

The Son Of God justifying Satan?

Most epic heel turn ever

I’m not justifying Satan. There really can’t be good without evil.
