If you answered yes to these three questions, do you believe evil exists? If not, why not? Post Reply

Evil does though, and I think it does exist in and of itself, but it cannot exist with Good in the same place and time. *** :applause:...BINGO !!! I Agree...as the TRUTH & a lie can not Exisit within the same Moment of Time...it is Scientificly Impossible...SOooo...buy the Truth and not someones lie...xo Proverbs 23:23~ Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

For Jacob My servant�s sake, And Israel My elect, I have even called you by your name; I have named you, though you have not known Me. 5. I am the LORD, and there is no other; There is no God besides Me. I will gird you, though you have not known Me, 6. That they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting That there is none besides Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other; 7. I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the LORD, do all these things.� Post Reply
View Profile History	Did God create evil? Posted : 4 Aug, 2011 02:15 PM ET, excellent verses. I think it might be relevant to point out that the "calamity" that God brings isn't "evil" but more of a consequence or a punishment. Like Newton's third law (equal and opposite reaction) God has created our world to have certain things with consequences... you disobey God, you reap the consequences (whether it is God's direct hand or not). It's like he built a system that does most of his work for him, unless he decides he wants to step in and act personally (which he does; do not misunderstand me to think I am a subscriber to deism's fallacies).

Asher_Aurelius View Profile History	Did God create evil? Posted : 5 Aug, 2011 05:28 AM To say that evil exists and that God didn't create it makes no sense to me. And to others. However God created the conditions for evil to exist and seems that this a consequence of life. Part this reflects God's heart for us, the sense that from our perspective he would allow great evils for our existence, I believe this shows this attitude of love towards us, and also that this is not the final destination.
