Why did God create evil?

[Bigfoot Oracle]

---

as what the Bible says...

"That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things."

Isaiah 45:6-7

...so GOD did.. why? I dont know..well, i do have opinions why..but I am not GOD to answer that..

the christian perspective says he did. the hindu says he did, and he did not. the buddhist would say 'it does not matter'. we must not think that our beliefs is better and over that theirs. their perspective on the matter should be considered.

silent-kill:

I have never questioned my faith in God and I never will.

i see na imong otok serado na diya no point talking to you then. i offered help but you refuse. "put words into your mouth?" i was merely opening your mind and strenthining your faith hmmmm..

"I have never questioned my faith in God and I never will."
a person that does not question god is not human. tanan tao mo question man sa ginoo parts. unless kong di ka tao

man made god thinking that god made them...
man wants someone to blame if something goes bad and someone to be given the credit when something good happens...

God is a purpose and evil is a purpose..

god is capable of creation but not destruction... he may kill us physically but will never kill our spirit...

what is evil?

[EZRO]

Evil is nothing but a creation of our minds to do what is not rite and not good, well for that matter evil is nothing if u think that what u r doing is Good.. Look at the world around you is it Good or is it Evil same thing, it is a balance of two things positive and negative.. look somtimes u will do bad things coz u need to if not ur goodness will overcome you for that u will fall hard.. if there is no evil we will never be existed.. bwhahah

Well, this is my first time to answer this thread. And i believe everbody is entitled to his own decision. Nevertheless, I still believe God did not created evil. First and foremost, if you believe in God, yes this thread would be a good place for you. If you don't, honestly speaking, all your answers will definitely contradict what is absolutely written in the Holy Testament and would rather created a roller coaster type of debate. Now here's my own understanding of this thread.

1. In the bible, yes it was written that God definitely created evil and can be found in Isaiah. Directly speaking, if you believe that this statement is a
literal word, meaning, God really created evil, so that's it, the answer is yes. Whoever, theres a lot of words in the bible that yields indirect representation, meaning, it has symbolic manifestation and one of these is this statement of prophet Isaiah where this thread focuces. A lot of these symbolic terms can be found in Revelation.

2. When prophet Isaiah, speaks to this statement, he is referring evil as part of God's creation and doesn't really refer as subjective in nature. When God created angels before earth was created, Satan is one of them.
In the Garden of Eden, He knews absolutely that Satan was there and trying to convince Eve. In short, during this time, God already has in mind. He really wanted to know how perfect are His creation and this is already a part of his purpose. And why God allows wickedness or evil, definitely because of His purpose....I'll explain further of these if I have some free times, busy pa sa work.
