If God did not create sin, then what is this idea about God creating everything?

...Does cold exist?...
Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?
...In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the
laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-460 F) is the total absence of heat; and all matter becomes inert and incapable of reaction at that temperature.Cold does not exist. We have created this word to describe how we feel if we
have no heat...
Does darkness exist?
...Of course it does
...Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light we can study, but not darkness. In fact, we can use Newton's prism to
break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. You cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you know how dark a certain space
is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn't this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present.
Does evil exist?
Of course...We see it everyday. It is in the daily examples of man's inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil...
Evil does not exist, sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the a absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of
God.
God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat, or the darkness that comes when there is no light."

God did not create sin. He gave us free will. The knowledge to know right from wrong. And even though we know what the right thing to do is, we don't always do it. Hence, the sin. Everyone is has the ability to fall from grace. Even christians. Remember, God loves the sinner, not the sin, He can and will, if asked to, forgive the sinner.

Where did it say God created sin? Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned. (Romans 5:12) Sin entered into the world because God allowed free will. We are not robots who just automatically love him. He wants us to freely choose to love him with all our heart mind and soul. Yes God did create everything but he didn't create sin. He created the situation and allowed it to happen. We who had free choice chose to disobey God and go our own way.

God didn't create sin. He gave man free will, and when Adam and Eve took the fruit from the tree of life, they began sin. They used their free will to do the one thing God told thme not to and that began sin. Sin was the creation of man and the devil as a by-product of God's giving man free will.
It gave God a way to distginuish who are His followers. And also, like another said, it helps us appreciate God's love and salvation. You have to know sin to know grace.

Because he is loving God and gave us free will, he wouldn't be loving if he didn't. Sin is disobeying God's law and that leads to death - not because he wants kill anyone but there are only two forces good and evil and God's way is good. The Psalmists David said that God's law is perfect converting the soul. If you live without laws you get selfish and yearn for blood. A lawless society festers crime and especially selfishness, God knew this and that he says that we should not disobey the law it brings peace and love to all. But you have the freedom to choose not to.

To provide free will choice. He wants your loyalty to be founded upon your choices. You will be tried too because all his people are tried as gold is purified by fire. This is what this age we live in is all about. Chose this day who you will serve! Yahu'eh or the idols and traditions of your own imaginations?
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I [Yahu'eh]the LORD do all these things.

He didn't create sin. Fallen angels did because they weren't satisfied with the expansiveness that Yhwh allowed them. They diverted, and became adversaries of Yhwh making sin happen starting with the Garden of Eden.

God showed us the straight path towards the light. it is only us who chose to do otherwise, then why blame God, satan or anyone?
