DID GOD CREATE EVIL
Wow. This seems impossible at first mention. But what are the facts and what does the word say itself about this subject? Lets take a look.
John 1
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2The same was in the beginning with God.
3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Genesis 2
8And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Genesis 3
22And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever
Isaiah 45
7I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
God made everything. He is the creator and only God. He made the tree in the garden of good and evil. He even created the angels, one being Lucifer. It seems odd doesnt it?
God is the potter and can do what ever he wants. This is the way he presented things so that we could have a life with him. Think of it this way. Without sin we may not have been created to have a chance to be with God and know him one day. He created the playing field and no matter how we try to break it down, its still a system and world of grace. We see his love through it and that is God. Remember the motives or fruit of God isnt evil. He is holy and pure. He just created a way in which people by choice could fall if they chose to. He made all things and by saying this is acknowledging him as who he is, our creator. We will never understand all of this here but one day we will know why God did it this way. He makes the rules. He gave us a way out with his love even if we fell in this state of evil known as sin: Jesus is the evil zapper. Grace is still the sum of it all.
