UNCOMFORTABLE: GOD ORDAINS EVIL

Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the
LORD do all these things

God Himself has claimed in several occasions that He was responsible for bringing evil upon people, and yet He is still without sin. How so? Take a look and see.

Evil does not exist. Does cold exists? Most would say, yes. Cold, does not exist, it is merely the absence of heat. Does darkness exist? Most say yes! But really! All darkness is! Is the abscence of light. Evil doesn't exist! It is only the abscence of god's love in man.

@MinecraftNinjaTeam So, i'm curious; are you saying that all men are inherently good? Are all men good by default?

but in all i think about it and what i think is that the Ying Yang is really accurate. now talking about the video can we really believe in every book? its written by man but i dont think every book is given by god.how can we believe in every book when in one he says not to kill but in the other ask to kill? i also dont believe in the vatican or goverments using the word of god cause its is said there be "many" false prophets in the end of times not that it will start there

@bacalaitoxxx God is against premeditated murder, not killing. There is indeed a difference.

@reformedbro I was on the road to becoming a Reformed Gnostic (Modern Day Calvinism), until I came across this question I proposed;

Do people choose to Sin OUTSIDE of Gods Causal Deterministic Will & Decree? Or is it, BECAUSE of Gods Causal Deterministic Will & Decree, that people then "choose" to sin?

Calvinist definition of "SOVEREIGNTY" abide by the latter, thus making GOD the Primary Cause/Prime Mover/Architect/Originator/Sou­rce/Ultimate Cause/& Father of ALL Moral Evil.

No thanks.

@apollos6640 Hey, that's fine if you reject 'calvinism'. It doesn't matter what your position is, as long as if you believe that Jesus is the Christ, that He died and rose from the grave, that He is the only means for salvation, that God is completely sovereign over all things, that only God can bring salvation and not the merit of man, that there is only one God, and that the bible is the inerrant and inspired word of God. The rest doesn't matter to me.

God is to be feared and he wants that be feared. people wont preach this in chruch becaseu noone will come back and pay there tithes

James 2:19

You say you have faith, for you believe that there is one God. Good for you! Even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror.

Proverbs 9:10 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.



[MrSlippin22]

Isaiah 45:7 I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the LORD, do all these things.

Proverbs 1:26 So I will laugh when you are in trouble! I will mock you when disaster overtakes you

i dont really know why evil is a bad thing (well in some ccases yea) but if theres no light theres no darkness but if theres light darkness will follow the light. like some actions can be evil to the eyes of ppl but in reality its a good thing for the ppl.if u kill a serial killer how many did u saved? but at the same time if u let the serial killer stay alive how many did u kill?sometimes good can cause evil but at the same time evil can cause good..

@mfirebrand1 Don't mention it.Most Christians have never been taught the fallen angel view,they believe in the Sethite view or else they are just ignorant of anything unless it's in the New Test.,and they are at a loss for words when atheists call God a tyrant committing genocide.They forget that The Hebrews wandered in the desert for 40 yrs because they feared giants.Even if the people were all humans and it was just God's revenge,why kill all the animals unless they were corrupt in some way?
