Mat 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

My experience and awareness of evil might be different from others, but all of us in the Mutual Faith Community of Christ the Redeemer have one thing in common . . . we are delivered from evil.

Joh 17:15 I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil.

Apostasy is evil. False doctrine is evil. Ungodliness is evil. This present world is evil.

Gal 1:3-5 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, (4) Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: (5) To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

From G1537 and G138; active voice to tear out; middle voice to select; figuratively to release: - deliver, pluck out, rescue.
Total KJV occurrences: 8

In this present world many experience or become aware of evil but as many readers of the Bible know, God is willing and well able to deliver His People from it.

2Ti 4:14-18 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works: (15) Of whom be you wary also; for he has greatly withstood our words. (16) At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. (17) Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. (18) And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Have a nice day. :)

Deliverance from evil is not always instantaneous. There are some deliverances that come with being saved, and some that aren't realized until the Kingdom comes.

Where did evil come from?
Presently evil is coming from the bogus vaccines which are killing and destroying people worldwide. Here are the current stats from Europe:
10,570 DEAD 405,259 Injuries: European Database of Adverse Drug Reactions for COVID-19 “Vaccines”

The results have been broken down into what these "vaccines" are doing. And in the USA there have been about 4,434 deaths and thousands (17,190+) of adverse drug reactions.

In spite of these horrifying statistics, all governments, public health officials, and media are continuing to vigorously promote vaccinations, as though none of this matters.

The source of evil of course in the Evil One, working through evildoers who have fraudulently gained power over people.

Hi Amazed@grace. Now there's a question to occupy ourselves with.

My first response is to state that I believe because evil is possible it is also inevitable.

In his infinite wisdom God has allowed opposition to His Will to arise.

Knowledge of good and evil was only experienced by the first humans when they disobeyed God's instruction, but that disobedience was influenced by a being that had already become corrupt.

The mystery of iniquity goes back that far, as revealed to us by Christ Himself:

Joh 8:44 You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Note:
  • God said the consequence of disobedience to Him would be death.
  • Speaking through the serpent Satan assured Eve that disobeying God would not result in her death.
  • Through his lying Satan caused disobedience and death.

Do you wonder how an angel, particularly one of Lucifer's status, would be able yo sin in paradise? Which is what Heaven is suppose to be.

Also, the bible tells us everything that exists is both of and from God. Colossians 1

Yes, the Original Creative Dynamic is God, but the Progressive Creative Dynamic has the capacity to exercise volition. The Bible is adequate in its description of pride as the catalyst for rebellion against God, so we can deduce that God in His wisdom considers it necessary to both allow and punish it.

The King of Babylon Analogy:

Isa 14:12-14 How are you fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how are you cut down to the ground, which did weaken the nations! (13) For you have said in your heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: (14) I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

The King of Tyre Analogy:

Eze 28:17
Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty, you have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your brightness: I will cast you to the ground, I will lay you before kings, that they may behold you.
