First of all - God doesn't make mistakes or "oops".
He is perfect and His will is perfect (Matt. 5:48).
Secondly - before Adam had a chance to do evil - it already existed with Satan.
Finally, just because God judges what is evil and what is not - that does NOT mean that He created evil.
1 Cor. 14:33 states that God is not the author of confusion. Does confusion exist? Yes - but He did not create it.
1 Tim. 2:4 states that God wills the salvation of ALL people and that ALL come to a knowledge of the truth.
Will ALL be saved?? No - but that doesn't mean that HE is responsible for that. Free will is what created evil.
you said:
"Does confusion
exist? Yes - but
He did not create it."
if we look at the text:
1Co_14:33 For God is not
the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
if you note the underlined and if removed since its not of the original text, it would say For God is not of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
hence the saints are of peace, certainly not the authors of peace, note the "as in", but still with the "author of" in the verse we can see by reading the chapter this verse it is intended to mean the Truth of God isn't of, or found in confusion.
so again, how does something exist that God didn't make?
in the very first verses:
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
therefore though heaven and earth existed it was:
Gen 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness
was upon the face of the deep.
so He made without form void and darkness, though as said in verse two the earth did exist.
and confusion meaning:
Discomfiture, overthrow, ruin, destruction, perdition.
Mental discomfiture, putting to shame.
Overthrow or discomfiture in argument; confutation
Mental perturbation or agitation such as prevents the full command of the faculties; embarrassment, perplexity, fluttered condition.
just for the record:
chaos is:
1. A gaping void, yawning gulf, chasm, or abyss: (chiefly from the Vulgate rendering of Luke xvi. 26). Obs. (In Greek spec. ‘the nether abyss, infinite darkness’, a use also often glanced at by English writers.)
The ‘formless void’ of primordial matter, the ‘great deep’ or ‘abyss’ out of which the cosmos or order of the universe was evolved. A state resembling that of primitive chaos; utter confusion and disorder.
nothing exists that God didn't make, and you're correct, He doesn't make mistakes. so what is good, and what is evil? and who makes it so? you? the devil? or the Almighty?
