In the original Greek, the word created means "exposed"!. When He created (as in the creation of the world)good, evil was "exposed"!. When he created light, the darkness was exposed!. Every time something bad happens,it is the work of the devil or the result of his actions that mankind responds to!. Do not be deceive3 by him again to think that God is anything but perfection and goodness!. It's the devil who planted the seed in your mind to even consider that God is not pure goodness!. Re-read the account in the garden, and you'll see how he questioned Eve and made her question the very words that God had spoken to Adam!. If he could fool her when she walked with God every day, don't you think he can fool you who live in such a fallen world without the benefit of knowing God so personally!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well some things could be Satan's doing, but we have to remember that God is sovereign!. God and Satan are not equal-powered enemies that fight each other!. God is GOD!. He is allows bad things to happen for his own purposes, which are always centered in his very nature, which is love!.

Take a look at Joseph, when he was sold into slavery by his own brothers then falsely accused by his employer of sexual assault, and jailed!. Later that led to the reconciliation of his family and his saving that entire region during a severe famine!. He had a relationship with God and was able to help the pharaoh follow God, and in turn became extremely wealthy, and second in command of the greatest empire of the time!.

Joseph said that when he was sold into slavery, his brothers meant it for evil but GOD MEANT IT FOR GOOD!. God allowed him to be in a bad situation, but was WITH HIM all the way- gave him favor with the country he was forced to serve, and even favor when he was in jail!. He still had a family and a full life!. God blessed him no matter what the devil did!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You must realise that good and evil do not exist!. "Man does not willingly do evil!."-Socrates!. When first reading the quote, you might say that i'm arguing myself, since the quote seems to bring up the existense of evil!. However, what this quote means to me is that nobody will do what they think is wrong!. Even murderers have motives, which they honestly believe at the time they comit the act, justifies the crime!. So good and evil do not exist, only people's judgment!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

also, check out Job 1!. God actually asks Satan if he's noticed Job, how righteous and faithful he is!.!.!.and gives Satan permission to test him!. A lot of people would point to this and say "See, God is horrible"!. But those of us who have suffered and yet clung to our God know that only those who can bear it are tested in this way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You know that God has killed more people in the bible than Satan!? It's always made me wonder, perhaps He whom we worship is actually Satan in disguise!? Perhaps he tricked us all, and that is why we are all corrupt!?
I dunno, a little more food for thought :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

well you have a point,who know all of what God does,or why he does things!. We are no all knowing like he is so all things are possible!. you have heard of God's wrathWww@QuestionHome@Com

You are of course correct!.
But then you are reasoning from scripture so I wouldn't expect anything less!.

It's not always Satan !

Health and Wealth is not always from God !Www@QuestionHome@Com

Exactly!.!.!.!.!.but, our sinful, imperfect nature contributes to a lot of bad things, which brings us back to the original sin!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No it is just part of living on this planet called earth!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't existWww@QuestionHome@Com

Of course it's wrong to suggest that God is the originator of evil because no where in his word did he ever say that!.
Everything God created has free will!. Even the angels themselves!. Satan rebelled against God and stirred up evil!.
Did God make Satan do it!? No!. Did God TELL satan to do it!?
No!.

You mentioned Job!. Very beautiful story of a God fearing man who endured many trials and tribulations unknowing why at first but God used it to build and stretch his faith!.
If you know anything about the story of Job you will know that in the very beginning of it!.!.!.Satan goes before God and has to ASK his permission to be ALLOWED to torment him!.
Satan was testing God!. God only allowed it to happen to Job for Job's own benefit and was not permitted to take his life!.
In the end!.!.Job was doubly blessed!.
There is a BATTLE between Good and Evil!. Satan is on the evil side!.!.although God is in control!. Satan!.!.!.no matter how hard he tries!.!.!.cannot triumph over God!.
The bible explains how even the wicked have an appointed place for the day of calamity and evil!. (Prov!. 16:4)

His word says this
1 John 1:5
"God is light, and in him is no darkness at all!."
If God is the same yesterday today and forever there was NEVER any darkness (sin) in him!.

2 Corinthians 6:14-15

"!.!.!.!.!.For what partnership have right living and right standing with God with iniquity and lawlessness!? Or how can light have fellowship with darkness!?
What harmony can there be between Christ and Belial [the devil]!.!.!.!.!?"

NONE!.

For such a suggestion to be made would be to even suggest God is a contradictory God which is not the case at all!.

The bible says "a curse without a cause will not come!." (Prov!.26:2)
Meaning for any curse to come upon anyone!.!.the land!.!.!.etc!.
there is a REASON behind it!.
That reason is Sin!.
Sin is rebellion against God!.
Therefore!.!.!.when referring to the chapter 28 in Deut!.!.!.!.upon examination, God is telling his children what will happen to them if they choose not to obey his commands!.
A Curse will be brought on them!. And that curse is a result of SIN!. THEIR Sin!. God forewarns people not to do things!.!.people sin and fall and the fault is somehow reverted back to God!?
God calls us out to be SEPARATE from evil!. How, therefore did he create it!?

2 Corinthians 6:17
"Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you"

Do you know that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom!? (Prov!.1:7) Do you know what it even means to fear the Lord!?
(Fear in this context meaning OBEY)

"The fear of the Lord is TO HATE EVIL: pride, and arrogancy, and THE EVIL WAY, and the froward mouth, do I HATE!.
(Prov!. 8:13)

Here God is explaining the evil that He HATES!.

If God created evil!.!.then God would not be fighting against it!.
They accused Jesus of being the "Prince of demons" when he was casting out devils!.!.!.(People don't think sometimes!.!.!.!.)

But he says this to them!.!.!.: "Any kingdom that is divided against itself is being brought to desolation and laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will last or continue to stand!.
And if Satan drives out Satan, he has become divided against himself and disunified; how then will his kingdom last or continue to stand!?
And if I drive out the demons by [help of] Beelzebub, by whose [help] do your sons drive them out!? For this reason they shall be your judges!.
But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out the demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you before you expected it!."Www@QuestionHome@Com
