"I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things." (Isaiah 45:7)
"Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? Shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?" (Amos 3:6)
"Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?" (Lamentations 3:38)
I know this has been asked before, but I haven't seen it in the way that I'm proposing...
God created the sword. In Genesis, to prevent Adam and Eve from re-entering the Garden of Eden, Jehovah placed fiery swords. Why would an all-knowing God who obviously would know the outcome of misuse and abuse of such an object create it in the first place? In the same way of thinking, God created Satan knowing that he would disobey. If you say he did not know--then you just admitted God is not omnipotent and all-knowing. Why then would God create Satan in the first place?
To be continued...
