Why God has created Evil ?

Ah ...the soft-shoe routine you can get from people who believe in the "inerrant" Bible - when a text clearly states something so awful that it must be re-re-reinterpreted.\n\nSo .. a word from our sponsor:\nIsiah 45:7 "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and CREATE EVIL: I the LORD do all these things."\n\nAnd now let's hear the various (laughable) renditions of what "evil" means "in this context," or "the actual Hebrew means something totally different." - obviously it couldn't just mean "evil," .... could it? \n\nThere is no one answer to your question. Current theology, in a vain attempt at sidestepping the mystical trend that produced the citation above, holds that God did NOT do what He says He did, or that it's a "mystery to be revealed in the end to us all."

Personally, I feel that Evil would have just had ultimate reign.  For creation to cease to exist, wouldn't God have to make it so?  It doesn't seem like God's character to just give up like that.\n\nThen again, God knows everything that is going to happen, so if he *had* bowed down, maybe God would have had another plan to fix the matter?

Yes God already knew who was bad and is giving him a chance to repent or mend his ways. He is also so loving that he will completely forgive you if you are sorry for your sins. and foremost he create us through his image.So we must all act Godlike. Good , righteous and loving, Does that answer your question.

If it so EVIL ,why do all religions want you to give yours to them?\nGod certainly doesn`t need it .Supposedly he can make anything he wants.

Because that "God" in Jeremiah 13:14 is the Lord, God of Israel. That "God" is not the same God who created humans or is it the same God who created the entire universe. They are all different. The Lord, God of Israel is actually Satan, the fallen angel. Satan is an alien from heaven and is obsessed with control and power over humans. In the case of the biblical story you brought up, Satan is concerned with collecting all the gold and treasures from all the people he ordered massacred. Reread the story again with this explanation in mind and it will make sense. Satan is still concerned with hoarding gold to this day. The followers of that "God" are actually Satanist working for a real alien (or angel). There is nothing spiritual about the mass killings of women, children, and babies; it is just, quite simply, a factual account of a greedy, gold hungry alien passing as a 'god' to humans who willing do his bidding in exchange for worldly policical powers. These Satanist are behind almost all the world events of modern times. But don't be scared, their time is almost up and they will soon be at our feet (Rev 2:9 and 3:9). And the creator God of human beings will be returning! (Rev 20-22) That is the Good News of the Bible.

my answer is based on bible, so sorry if you think the bible's a fake.\n\nbut, the bible teaches that all people are inherently evil.  i think the only good people do is solely out of the grace of god.

Evil is a consequence of the presence of free-will. Given free-will, some people will choose good, and some will choose evil (some fraction of the time).\n\nFor good to exist, evil does not need to exist.\n\nHowever, for good to be truly appreciated, evil may be a backdrop that makes good that much more appreciatable (to coin a term).\n\nAlso, there is greater virtue in being good when everyone around you is being evil. \n\nAnd, the presence of evil provides an environment (for a limited period of time) where souls can grow and develop character (in a manner consistent with God's purposes for our universe and for us).\n\nFor a brief explanation of God's purposes in creating the Universe and human beings, see http://www.godsci.org/gs/new/godspurposes.html\n\nCordially,\nJohn

Evil is man made. God has given us free will. It is up to us to recognize evil and choose to do what is right. In the end, our good will be rewarded.

Evil comes to deceive, to kill, and to destroy. \nThe only thing that is not evil in your questions above is eating shellfish.\nJesus came to teach us love, humility, mercy and forgiveness.\nBut people somehow managed to ruin God's message by all their evil desire to rule and manipulate others. Pride is  the origin of sin, everybody wants to rule the world, everybody wants to be on top. This is the evil that people is practising in most part of the world. \nNo one is perfect, everybody has some evil in them even Christians. That's why we need Jesus, because without him, no one is saved from the wrath of God. That's the reason why He died from the cross and became our Savior. \nNot all who claim Christian are true Christians, only those who follow the teachings of Jesus are the true Christians. If you see someone who practise love, humility, mercy, forgiveness and believes in Jesus, that person is a Christian. Those who kill, deceive, and destroy and contradict the teaching of Christ in all aspect of life and claiming they are Christians, are the advocates of the devil.

This is a complex question, and the answer depends upon your definiton of God. If your God is an old geezer in the sky who created absolutely everything, then it would logically follow that he or she created hatred. But maybe God just established the laws of nature and then set everything in motion (Deism). In this case human beings are the inventors of hatred. Or, maybe God is the same thing as Nature, in which case people would still be the inventors of hatred (and evil). Lots of theologians have struggled with this question.

If evil exists and god is against evil then god cannot be all good all knowing and all powerful at the same time.He either doesn't know about evil, doesn't have a problem with evil, or can't do anything about evil. \n\nThis is not about free will either, as if god is all knowing he would have known about evil before it happens, If he were all powerful he would be able to stop the evil, and were he all good he would not have created people who were going to do evil in the first place. \n\nThere is no way arround it, such a god would have created the universe for evil to be in it. He would have wanted evil. Thankfully there's polytheism.

God uses evolution as part of His plan.

I was always told that God allows evil because He is all about free will and doesn't want to impose himself on us. God allows us to see Him if we chose to see him and he will leave us alone if we don't. As for the evil thing, i beleive that evil comes from your inability to resist temptation. Satan doesn't make you do anything, he just suggests it.  You do the rest.

THat is a very good question and it makes me very mad when people blame God for things that go wrong.  It's like people dont ever give God the time of day and then when something goes wrong they suddenly start saying how it is God's fault.  God is all good and everything he does is for reason and our sins bring much pain on us humans.  Job 1:22 says "Do not charge God with wrong doing."
