Debate:Did God create evil? (view source)

Well, let's first define what evil is. God is good. So anything that goes against God's holy character is evil. Man sinned, which allowed evil to enter this world, affecting us and everything around us. But, evil did exist before that in the sense that Satan had already rebelled and chose to go against God. As far as when evil first began, I suppose it would be whenever the first choice to disobey God was made. Pressumabley this was Satan. And God createda world where evil exists because He wanted us to have free will. If people have the ability to choose, then they invariably have the ability to make wrong choices. God could have not given free will and eliminated the problem with evil, but then all He would have would be little robots who can't really choose Him.

Yes...God created evil. That's a shocker; why did God, the perfect being that he is and only good and love comes through him, create evil? If there is no light, is there a such thing as dark? If there is no such thing as heat, is there a such thing as cold? If there is no evil, is there good? See, if evil didn't exist, we would be incapable of ever being good, since we would always be good, and that would put us as "average". No good can exist without evil. Love cannot exist without hate. Everything requires a contrast in order for it to exist. It's as simple as that.
