FMF,
God did not create evil, but evil exists because He exists.
He called a particular "something" or particular "some things" that is/are against Him, "evil." Without God what you call "evil" doesn't exist. You label it evil, but it is vain to do so . You don't make it "evil" just because you call it "evil." You and I have no power to create.
King James Version
===============
Genesis 2: 9
And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Originally posted by KingOnPointPeople don't create "evil" by calling it "evil"; they encounter "evil" and "evil" is the word they use to refer to it. If you want to attribute "evil" to your God figure's creation ~ or that you only get "evil" if there is your "God" too ~ then that's fine by me, as long as you don't go around doing "evil" things. Whatever convoluted ideology you use to stop yourself from being "evil", I welcome it.
