People say God is evil because all the death he causes Bible among other.
Others say God is love.
Others say God is just.
How do we reconcile these things?
Yes.Have you yourself watched all of the videos you've posted here??
It is a good explanation Frank Turek gives on this issue, I've seen this video before. Here's a website of Christian Apologists & a link from this video CrossExamined.org Official Website
I disagree with you on this. God did Not create evil. The LORD GOD is ALL HOLY & GOOD and Goodness does not create evil. The Bible states that All God originally created was Good.God created Evil.
God defines what is Evil.
God defines what is Love.
God defines what is Just.
(And BTW God defined Marriage too).

Satan is the cause of evil.
Why did God create Satan knowing that Satan would cause evil?
Create evil in the context of making it possible because of free will.I would say, to consider the Lords own words about Himself.
Isa 45
[7] I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
God creates opposites, and crated men with the ability to reason and make choices of either good or evil, and warns men of the consequences for whatever a man freely chooses.

The critical point here is we all die someday, unless we are raptured.
God says, basically, if we suffer an injustice in this world that he allowed or caused, he will compensate us in eternity.
Sounds like a pretty good trade to me.
For God to have created evil he would have to be.
It is absolutely true.You are attempting to Anyalize according to your Carnal Understanding, what is Opposite of what the Lord God Himself claimed.
God IS Thee Creator.
God Reveals His Creations, whether it fits into your Acceptance, has no baring on what is TRUE.
Either you believe Gods WORD is TRUE, or you Don't.

God's word is certainly true, but our understanding of it is sometimes flawed. The Jeremiah 29:11-->"For I know the plans I have for you. They are plans for good and not for evil..." Here, I think it means anything that is "not good" (i.e. not life-giving). God pronounced all that He had done in creating a perfect environment for life on this planet and then creating life itself as "good" and "very good". But then, even though He sees death as His enemy (see 1 Corinthians 15), He "created" death (absence of physical life) in response to the contagion of sin. Think of how much worse this world would be if evil people lived for a very long time. God, who is the Creator of Life, is free to take it as He wills. He is able and willing to provide a world that is much better than this one which is stained by sin and death.
It is absolutely true.
What you do not understand is the work create does not just mean originated. It also means causing the conditions under which something can happen.

There’s nothing created that he didn’t createThank you for your comment;
However you did not address the Point;
Do you believe God created Evil?

God creates out of nothingness. He creates by reshaping what is.You are playing with words, that we have not discussed, then claiming you have decided I do not understand what you just brought up.
Aside from your words, Scripture teaches God "creates and MAKES".
He makes His creations Alive, He makes His creations Dead. He Provides Choices for His creations to Decide, pick, and freely choose...
Or not.
