Answer 2

Gen 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Satin has deceived mankind into believing his false religions and their
false books by putting DOUBT in their minds and hearts to follow a
false leader.

The whole world problem is Satin and mans sin nature.Satin has
deceived mankind from Eve to the very present time.Satin has
lied to man and deceived him into believing in man made religions
like Buddhism,Mormonism,Islam,and RELIGION as a whole.
God has done all He can do for mankind to live in this world in
victory no matter if the bombs are falling or a tornado is coming he
wants to give everybody a gift if SALVATION.Not only that but have
God himself take up residence in your soul to give you comfort and
guidance and understanding to be more than conquerors in this world
we live in for now. Plus a future home to live with God for eternity.
GOD is GOOD it is the devil that is causing havoc in the world past
present and future until God BINDS that old serpent and cast him into a pit for the thousand year rein on this literal earth there will be TRUE
PEACE experienced for a thousand years.Rev 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
Rev 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. THEN Rev 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Hallelujah what a day that will be.Are you on the winning side?
Jesus can put you there if you will trust Him to save you.
In Christ in Love,

Ok, first of all. Evil is just a term used to descibe why people do wrong things. In all honesty, there's really no such thing as "Good and Evil" There's those with God, and those who oppose. Those who oppose God don't have to be "evil", they just don't accept him as the one true God. Likewise, those who do accept God can have "evil" actions. (ie: murder, lie, and so on.)

The "evil" in this world is do to the lies and manipulations of the enemy, Lucifer. Since we are existing within the realms of free-will pretty much whatever we say or do goes. God has his loopholes and Lucifer has his. His main one is influincing us and manipulating us to follow him. God does not interfere because that'd defeat the entire purpose of creating us in the first place. We have the intellegence to see through the enemies lies. Often times the enemy shows us an easier way so we allow OURSELVES to be deceived. Meanwhile all God can do is pour a glass of liquour on the ground in respect of all his loved ones he's lost to the game. Why? Because if he did prevent the "evil" or stop it, he'd be going against his own "rules", and that wouldn't exactly be God-like would it? It's the whole "why do we have to play fair but they don't" thing. Sucks, really. But it'll pay out in the end.

Answer 4

Why God Allows Pain
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard
trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good
conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects.
When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber
said: "I
don't believe that God exists." "Why do you say that?" asked the customer.
"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that
God doesn't
exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick
people?
Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would
be
neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving a God who
would
allow all of these things."
The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because
he didn't
want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the
customer
left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man
in the
street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard.
He looked
dirty and unkempt.. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and
he said
to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist." "How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber. "I am
here, and I
am a barber. And I just worked on you!" No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if
they did,
there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed
beards, like
that man outside." "Ah, but barbers DO exist! What happens is that people do not
come to
me." "Exactly! "- affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God
DOES exist!
What happens is that people don't go to Him and do not look for
Him.
That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."

Answer 5

The nature of man is evil. People do evil and being evil is a choice. Unfortunately the good and evil live in the world together and they often cross paths. Therefore sometimes the choices of the wicked can effect the lives of the good.

Answer 6

He's clearly not all good:

Exodus 11:5 And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.
11:6 And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more.
11:7 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel

Answer 7

Free will. From the beginning God has given humans to do what they wish, for or against God's will. Since Adam and Eve, the human race has sinned, and made this world what it is. It is not his fault for all the evil in this world. It is us. We are the ones who choose to kill, and commit atrocities. Not God.

Answer 8

GOD ALMIGHTY Created the EARTH and the STAR SYSTEM, it was all Good.
Then Adam blew-it, and opened the CREATION (EARTH and Star System) up to the Devil (satan), he brought Sin, Curse, Darkness, Evil and Wickedness so on, into the CREATION. It is a mess right now.
Sickness and disease come's from the Curse and the Devil, sinning so on. It's a mess.
Oh, Adam messed-up his Spirit too, when he committed High Treason (Unpardonable SIN), Adam passed that messed-up Spirit to everybody else too(that's why JESUS couldn't have an Earthly Father). We have to get our Spirit RECREATED, in order to make it to HEAVEN. Getting your Spirit Recreated is called "getting SAVED", "getting Born-Again". GOD can Live inside of you after you get your Spirit Recreated. Hope this helps.

Answer 9

God wants you to be good because of your love for Him.

Lucifer was once the most beautiful and powerful of all the angels.
He (it) found out that humans were to be made a little above him and that he and the rest of the angels were to serve them.
Lucifer refused to serve humans, because he became prideful, he said he was like God. Saint Michael defended God and said to Lucifer "Who is like unto God".
A battle between angels took place in heaven and Lucifer was struck down to the earth like a bolt of lightning. His angels, now demons, followed him.

Lucifer had a choice and he made it, so did the other angels created by God who followed Lucifer.
So now we have this constant battle going on for the souls of people. Lucifer, now Satan, hates us and wants to destroy us by spreading evil in the world.

If he can distract us from God, our soul will be lost. So he tries in many ways to get at us and bring us down.

Today many people are being distracted by Satan and his demons. Since we have free-will, we can choose Satan or God.
There are many ways to Satan's hell, but only one way to God's heaven that is through Jesus Christ.

Answer 10

Heaven is free of evil, free of sin, it is all good.

At the fall, man was separated from God. Now man lives in sin in a sin filled world
