    Did God Create Evil?

    Your post has so many added html bits it's impossible to properly address. I'm not personally accusing you or anyone else here of literally worshiping the devil, but I am accusing the followers of the devil for who they follow. It's they who argue the very points you've latched onto the most...

    Did God Create Evil?

    If evil originated from God, as some interpret the Isa.45:7 verse, then the following verses serve as a DIRECT contradiction to that kind of reasoning... Ps 5:4-6 4 For Thou art not a God That hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with Thee. 5 The foolish shall not stand in Thy...

    Did God Create Evil?

    You have provided 'nothing' but a vain argument that blames God as the creator of evil. Every time I have seen this idea brought up by those who assign the creation of evil to God, they deny many things which God showed His servants of how Satan first rebelled in coveting His Throne. And there...

    Did God Create Evil?

    The Hebrew word for "evil" in the KJV verse Isa.45:7 can be translated many different ways. So that's yet another marker of those with the agenda to assign the origin of evil to God as if He is to blame. Certain descriptions God gave in Isaiah 14, 30, Ezekiel 28 & 31 CANNOT be applied to flesh...

    Could God Save Everybody If He Wanted To?

    Nothing written in my Bible that says The Christ was ever... created.

    Did God Create Evil?

    I outline enough of the Bible chapter info in my previous posts. I also have posts on the matter in the Bible Study threads. So I'm not going to lay all that out for you since you've already revealed you're determined to not believe it anyway. That's a totally irrelevant statement concerning...

    Did God Create Evil?

    God addressing Satan as "a man" (like in Isa.14) is not dependent upon the idea of flesh man, simply because the image of man originates from God's Own Image. That's why when angels appeared on earth per God's Word they had the image appearance of man. Even the meaning of the name Gabriel is...

    Did God Create Evil?

    Yes, there was a material physical place called Eden in later Bible history. But it's unmistakeable which Eden God is speaking of through Ezekiel, because the reference is to a heavenly "cherub", NOT a flesh man. Ezek 28:13-16 13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious...

    Did God Create Evil?

    I had to modify your post so the sentences would line up. Some pastors understand "the world that then was" when Satan first rebelled; others don't. It was prior to Adam and Eve in God's Garden. [url="http://biblia.com/bible/esv/Genesis%202.9"] If you think about it, free will cannot exist...

    What sign is the Occupy Wall Street movement for us?

    It could serve as a sign for a coming major global change between nations, of course more closer to globalist's ideals of a one world government.

    Why don't God show Himself to everybody?

    The premises in bold-red are to lead to the false conclusion of no.c. Saul (Paul) was a 'chosen vessel' by Christ (Acts 9). It's about election, those who Christ 'sent' into the world per John 17. Their purpose being, to take The Gospel to others that would hear and believe through their...

    Did God Create Evil?

    Might want to think about that again, for as Apostle John said, the devil sinneth from the beginning. Since he also defined sin as 'the transgression of the law", it would not be possible for Satan to sin from the beginning unless some law was already in effect at that time. Your time...

    Did God Create Evil?

    That's exactly how it is. And that's for this present world after Satan had already rebelled against Him. For those who trust in God, His protection is upon them. Ps 34:15-22 15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and His ears are open unto their cry. 16 The face of the LORD is...

    Did God Create Evil?

    How have I missed that Christ was to come as the Perfect Sacrifice for sin, and that His elect were chosen in Him prior to the foundation of this world? Those are things I specifically mentioned in my posts. Satan's rebellion was BEFORE that, which is why God ordained this present world for...

    Did God Create Evil?

    Still, you're missing for what TIME the Isaiah 45:7 verse is in, along with any others that refer to God using evil to punish the wicked. It's NOT in the timeframe of God's original creation, but in the timeframe of His creation past Gen.1:2 for this present world, the time when God placed...

    Did God Create Evil?

    Understanding the word "evil" in a legalist sense IS indeed using the "human reasoning" FHII spoke of. Doing wickedness, iniquity, unrighteousness, etc., are all... in the category of 'sin' against God. So can we say that God created sin too? There's a certain point where absolutist legalist...

    Did God Create Evil?

    It's OK to disagree with me on this matter. But are you sure you're disagreeing with me, and not what our Heavenly Father has shown us about Himself throughout ALL of His Word? Understanding about Satan's rebellion per God's Word requires spiritual understanding, because God did not just come...

    Why is there Evil in this world?

    Can't defy that simple answer!

    Did God Create Evil?

    Satan first rebelled in a time before... the creation of this present world. Until the Bible student understands that per God's Word, they won't understand when and how the concept of evil began, and how God is not the author of it. Thinking about the world to come with God's future eternity...

    Is alcoholism a disease or a sin ?

    I too agree it can be both a disease for some and a sin if abused. Medically, many doctors have prescribed a little wine to help people with high cholesterol. In 1 Timothy 5, Apostle Paul told Timothy to use "a little wine" for his stomach's sake, and "thine often infirmities".
