LORD GOD DID NOT CREAT EVIL...EVIL IS ALREADY THEIR...DID YOU READ THE BIBLE...THE QUESTION ISITS OUR FREEDOM TO CHOOSE....TILL THEN

[JawBreaker]

what??... evil is already there didn't we read the book?
and am i suppose to believe that there's some kind of battle going on above there long before mankind or this freakn world existed?

whahh?

[cyril]

Because God created a Perfect World -- a world with freewill.

If you watched matrix 2 and matrix revolutions, a similar concept was continually said. Perfection is the balance of two extremes, not the domination of one extreme.

[AnInO]

no such things as perfect...

if God made a pefect day then why make tomorrow....

[silent-kill]

as a summary to our discussion in the office: GOD didn't create evil...that's what we believe...good and evil are equal natural forces...neither of them was created by GOD...it is just our choice and free-will to either do good or to do evil..

ok god give us free will, if god didnt create evil then there wouldnt be any other choices but good things right? so.. if there is no choice there is no free-will... so.. god create evil to give us a choice in the process free-will is introduce..

knowing that god is the creator of all things... then i would be impossible for evil to create him self.

> "So you believe in God?"
> "Absolutely."
> "Is God good?"
> "Sure! God's good."
> "Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?"
> "Yes."
> "Are you good or evil?"
> "The Bible says I'm evil."
> The professor grins knowingly.
> "Aha! The Bible!" He considers for a moment.
> "Here's one for you. Let's say there's a sick person
> over here and you can cure him. You can do it. Would

> "Yes sir, I would."
> "So you're good...!"
> "I wouldn't say that."

> The student remains silent.
> "No, you can't, can you?" the professor says.
> He takes a sip of water from a glass on his desk to
> give the student time to relax.
> "Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?"
> "Er... Yes," the student says.
> "Is Satan good?"
> The student doesn't hesitate on this one. "No."
> "Then where does Satan come from?"
> The student falters. "From... God..."
> "That's right. God made Satan, didn't he? Tell me,
> son. Is there evil in this world?"
> "Yes, sir."
> "Evil's everywhere, isn't it? And God did make
> everything, correct?"
> "Yes."
> "So who created evil?"
> Again, the student has no answer. "Is there sickness?
> Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness. All these terrible
> things, do they exist in this world?"
> The student squirms on his feet.
> "Yes."
> "So who created them?"
> The student does not answer again, so the professor
> repeats his question.
> "Who created them? "
> There is still no answer. Suddenly the lecturer breaks
> away to pace in front of the classroom. The class is
> mesmerized.
> "Tell me," he continues. "Do you believe in Jesus
> Christ, son?"
> The student's voice betrays him and cracks. "Yes,
> professor. I do."
> The old man stops pacing.
> "Science says you have five senses you use to identify
> and observe the world around you. Have you ever seen
> Jesus?"
> "No sir. I've never seen Him."
> "Then tell us if you've ever heard your Jesus?"
> "No, sir. I have not."
> "Have you ever felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus or
> smelt your Jesus? Have you ever had any sensory
> perception of Jesus Christ, or God for that matter.
> "No, sir, I'm afraid I haven't."
> "Yet you still believe in him?"
> "Yes."
> "According to the rules of empirical, testable,
> demonstrable protocol, science says your God doesn't
> exist. What do you say to that, son?
> "Nothing," the student replies. "I only have my
> faith."
> "Yes, faith," the professor repeats. "And that is the
> problem science has with God. There is no evidence,
> only faith."
> The student stands quietly for a moment, before asking
> a question of his own.
> "Professor, is there such thing as heat?"
> "Yes," the professor replies. "There's heat."
> "And is there such a thing as cold?"
> "Yes, son, there's cold too."
> "No sir, there isn't."
> The professor turns to face the student, obviously
> interested. The room suddenly becomes very quiet. The
> student begins to explain.
> "You can have lots of heat, even more heat,
> super-heat, mega-heat, white heat, a little heat or no
> heat, but we don't have anything called 'cold'. We can
> hit 458 degrees below zero, which is no heat, but we can't

> -458 degrees. You see, sir, cold is only a word we use

> cold. Heat, we can measure in thermal units because
> heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir,
> just the absence of it."
> Silence across the room. A pen drops somewhere in the
> classroom, sounding like a hammer.
> "What about darkness, professor. Is there such a thing
> as darkness?"
> "Yes," the professor replies without hesitation.
> "What is night if it isn't darkness?"
> "You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is not something;
> it is the absence of something. You can have low
> light, normal light, bright light, flashing light...
> but if you have no light constantly you have nothing
> and it's called darkness, isn't it? That's the meaning
> we use to define the word. In reality, Darkness isn't.
> If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker,
> wouldn't you?"
> The professor begins to smile at the student in front
> of him. This will be a good semester. "So what point
> are you making, young man?"
> "Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical
> premise is flawed to start with and so your
> conclusion must also be flawed."
> The professor's face cannot hide his surprise this
> time.
> "Flawed? Can you explain how?"
> "You are working on the premise of duality," the
> student explains. "You argue that there is life and
> then there's death; a good God and a bad God. You are

> "Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes,

> The professor begins to shake his head, still smiling,

> The class is in uproar. The student remains silent

> "To continue the point you were making earlier to the

> The student looks around the room.
> "Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the

> The class breaks out into laughter.
> "Is there anyone here who has ever heard the
