GOD the father did created EVIL to put us into test if we are worthy to be his sons and daughters after our first parents a commited the sins directly to God .

by nature man cguro nahh.. kay kong wala ang evil wala sad cguro tay god...

[Disturbed_Angel16]

God never created evil, God loves us he does not want to burden us........
this Evil thing comes from the doings of Humans.... US... people who disobeys the law
of God......... God gave us the power to choose the freedom to express what we want
Evil is OUR creation we created evil that's the truth.

[Apo ni Barabas]

becuase he has the power to do so...

GOD DID NOT CREATED EVIL!

God created man in His image with the freedom to choose. With this freedom came the opportunity to rebel against Him. Man did rebel and the rest is history. see Genesis 3....

[Apo ni Barabas]

please read Isaiah 45:7

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

^^that passage u said was from the King James version (English translation)...the original passages were originated from hebrew lang..and there are lots of translation from different versions that came out....see below......[and here we go again the atheist/agnostic versus the CHRISTIANS..never ending..]

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things (KJV).
I form the light, and create darkness, I make peace, and create calamity; I, the Lord, do all these things (NKJV).
I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the Lord, do all these things (NIV).
The One forming light and creating darkness, causing well-being and creating calamity; I am the Lord who does all these (NASB).
I form light and create darkness, I make weal and create woe, I am the Lord, who does all these things (RSV).

[Apo ni Barabas]

Why isn't the Bible written in a straightforward way that leaves no doubt about what it means?

[tolstoi]
