God is all-knowing. So, he created Adam, knowing he was going to eventually disobey him and eat off the tree. He created every human to exist, and knows that some will fail and will go to hell (and he knows exactly which ones). Soooooo.....what is the point to all of this....is it a game? Why would you create someone who you know is going to fail? EXAMPLE: Your kid is running out in the road and a car is coming, going 55 MPH . If your kid gets hit by that car it will more than liekly die. You are by the side of the road and can catch your kid before he goes out in the road.... SOOOO...would you stop him or would you let him go out and get hit by the car? If you said "I would stop him before he went out in the road".......then my point exactly stainless
he would have also created hitler and known that he'd kill millions of jew, handicapped, gipsies ,ect also he allows us to kill each other and let some starve to death while others own multi million dollar mansions and eat luxury foods that half of us cannot even pronounce
Okay, picture this: God created the heavens, the earth, the animals, and most importantly, the humans. In Genesis, it says that when He made it, He saw that it was "good." So, everything that He made is good. Then, it also says He made man in His image. He made man pure, sinless, and He gave man a free will. God didn't create evil. It's plain in black and white that He didn't. It's man choice to choose what he wants, and doesn't want to do. It's not God that sends people to hell, it's the person that send his/herself to hell. God gave us free will to choose what we want to do, as #1, it's what His plan is. Don't ask me to explain His entire plan to you, lol, as I don't understand nor know it fully. Also, God doesn't robots. Your kids, (or when you have kids), you'd like them to do what there told, but would you want them to do everything JUST right, because they have too? He doesn't want people to choose Him, and believe and follow Him because they have too, He wants them to follow Him. If we did everything because we had to do it, we wouldn't be glorifying Him like He wants? Does that help at all? Don't get me wrong, I don't fully understand it completly, but hopefully that helps make it more simple. Phoenix
well if god did not create evil who did?? if god created everything angels included (aka satan) he also created the emotion of greed and jealousy and what not, that can lead to "evil" actions and then you get into what defines evil. lets use taking a life for example it can be both evil and good killing child-evil killing murderer of child-good so which is it
they talk about evil being the absence of god /good but is it really that way? if gods everywhere and all knowing why would he allow the killer to harm a child who is innocent? should he not save the child from the wrath as the child did not choose to be put into that situation? yet kids are kidnapped ,killed raped and starving world wide on a daily basis
