  • Evil in old testament is many things but not pure evil . In Isaiah 45:7, evil is translated to calamity.

  • What do you think of my theory? Spirits are inclination, therefore the love is the inclination to keep on experiencing interactions forever. And the Father is the inclination to incline. Inclinations initiate interactions therefore are alive. The nature of inclination itself is that there are always contra inclination, so evil is the contra inclination of keeping on experiencing interactions after interactions forever, which is the inclination to stop interactions from happening forever.

  • @4FunPlayin ahhh.... now I read it again.... I see it. hehehehe....thanks for the wind up :)

  • @Futureplanet Sarcasm FFS.

  • @4FunPlayin Yes. That's what followers of Hitler said. It's OK, because he's our glorious leader.

    evil is evil, I don't care whose invisible imaginary friend is doing it.

    Burning "souls" based on NOT what people are, or what they did, BUT based on WHAT THEY BELIEVE is pure evil. It IS the ideology of demended dictators.

    This is the ulimate proof that the bible is written by ancient religious zealouts.

    I wouldn't insult a god or "universe creator" to suggest they would stoop down so low.

  • @Futureplanet Oh no burning people's souls is ok since he's god.

  • What about God's evil. Such as burning in hell really good and nice people, just becuase they didn't believe in him. Torturing people, not for what they did or who they are, but for what they believe. It's pure evil. Saddam Hussien also tortured people that didn't believe in his leadership. Even good people It's also sick and evil.

  • 3) Bad Choices.

    “Don't be misled--you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant.” - Galatians 6:7 - New Living Translation

    Every choice we make has consequences. If we decide to invade Iraq, we expect body bags - dead soldiers to come home. Why blame God for such?

  • 2) “I have observed something else under the sun. The fastest runner doesn't always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn't always win the battle. The wise sometimes go hungry, and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don't always lead successful lives. It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time.” - Ecclesiastes 9:11 New Living Translation

  • There are 3 main factors why there is evil or harmful conduct or events in the world:

    1) “We are certain that we are of God, but all the world is in the power of the Evil One.” 1st John 5:19 - Bible in Basic English

    Mankind is temporarily under Satan’s supervision; to prove he’s abilities as ruler, whilst Christ prepares his Millennial Reign now at hand.
