The Reason why there is good and evil: Because God is Love

[robert derrick]

Because God is love, He loves to fellowship with people such as Himself: sons of God that love Him from the heart.

And so, He must create people with the power to choose good or evil, and so there is both good and evil being done on earth, since not all love God and to do good.

Doing good is necessary for loving God and one another, because doing evil is not love, and destroys life in the end.

It is kind of strange Rob, even among the Christian congregation there is a noticeable lack of true love. Most of us notice that when we are new, my teacher explained that I am looking at the trees, and not the forest. When you look at the Christian congregation as a whole, it is easy to see the love among us, and many have commented on it. So I instruct those who comment on it in the same way, look at God's people as a whole, then it is easy to see the love.

We explain similar to the way you do on the subject, based on 2 Peter 3:9, although if I were God, I would have ended this world yrs ago.
