When you ask Christian who create evil they will go long distance to tell me it was not god, it was Satan, or humans, or absence of god and blalblabla.
When I read bible I can see for my self what GOD saying him self:
“Isaiah 45
45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. “
Should I trust Christian explanation or should I trust GOD?
When asking Christian all of them will say that GOD knowledge of good and evil is much greater than ours. ( I wander where the hell they got that idea, but anyway)
In Geneses:
3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: …
“Behold, the man is become as one of us”
Should I trust GOD who tells us that we have same knowledge as gods what is bad or good, or should I trust Christians who loves to degrade their self and say that we can’t know what is good or bad?

Should I trust Mark whose gospel was first or should I trust John who wrote his gospel 70 years after Jesus died? I am kind of confused who to trust.
But the main Q is who is right, GOD or Christians?
Some ppl will try to explain what sin is but I am not asking what is sin is, I am interesting that according to GOD can we understand what is good or what is bad?

Neither. The Christians believe anything the Church, Bishops, Pope, Clergy, or the Bible tells them to. There are many instances when Christians will be so positive with one idea, and then switch entire as soon as they are told. This is because the Church and all of Christianity, for that matter, is about getting new followers. They need new followers, because they are about money and power. Look into the corruption of Christianity some time, it WILL BLOW YOUR MIND. But how, you might ask, how can such a holy religion, such an accepted religion be so hypocritical? I will ask this:
How can anybody accept and believe that a book is 100% true, written from the ideas of GOD, and worth worship, when it is just translated and composed of a massive amount of religious texts that have been collaborated over tens-of-thousands of years?
Did you know that many tales that are in the New Testament can be better understand if you apply the facts that are in the Old Testament, the Koran, the Canaan texts, the Assyrian texts, the Egyptian texts, and of course, the SUMERIAN religious texts. This is because you must think of the New Testament (by the way NEW testament that sounds 100% true and straight from God) not as a book to worship or believe in solely, but as a compilation; one that was chosen very carefully as a means of control and as a means to gain capitol.
P.S. I'm not an Aethiest. Aethiests are just lazy creatures, unsure of anything in life, and they just don't have the motivation to Discover. That is what life should be about. Do not live by the ideals of the New Testament, such as living to prevent certain occurences during death, live to learn, discover, and accomplish. Apply thought to all matters. For example, would an all knowing God that sees every single one of the 8 billion humans on this Earth, or the Billions of stars in our Galaxy, or the Trillions of Galaxies in each universe, really care if you said a four letter word, and why would that affect him?

To use your terms:
Sin is bad. God identifies what sin is in the Bible. Please review the 10 commandments. To not sin is good. God made man with a sinful nature. He gave man a choice. Follow the way of life that God outlined or sin. God told Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree of knowledge. They believed Satan and went in opposition to God. It was a choice to defy God. If you make that choice then you are also sinful. We all are. There is no such thing as a sinless life, except in the case of Jesus Christ. He died to take the punishment for your sin and the sin of the entire world (even Muslims). All you have to do is believe in him to avoid the consequence of sin, which is death..
Got it?

First of all the Bible was written by people and is not infallible. You need to make up your own mind what you believe in. Read and listen, then make up your own mind. As far as I am concerned people have created evil, from having a free will. Also remember some so called Christians, do not really follow Christ's teachings.

Perhaps this commentary on the passage well shed some light on it for you:
I make peace - I hush the contending passions of mankind; I dispose to peace, and prevent wars when I choose - a passage which proves that the most violent passions are under his control. No passions are more uncontrollable than those which lead to wars; and nowhere is there a more striking display of the Omnipotence of God than in his power to repress the pride, ambition, and spirit of revenge of conquerors and kings:
Which stilleth the noise of the seas,
The noise of their waves,
And the tumult of the people.
Psa_65:7
And create evil - The parallelism here shows that this is not to be understood in the sense of all evil, but of that which is the opposite of peace and prosperity. That is, God directs judgments, disappointments, trials, and calamities; he has power to suffer the mad passions of people to rage, and to afflict nations with war; he presides over adverse as well as prosperous events. The passage does not prove that God is the author of moral evil, or sin, and such a sentiment is abhorrent to the general strain of the Bible, and to all just views of the character of a holy God.
Gen 3:22 - Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil - See what he has got, what advantages, by eating forbidden fruit! This is said to humble them, and to bring them to a sense of their sin and folly, that seeing themselves thus wretchedly deceived by following the devil's counsel, they might henceforth pursue the happiness God offers, in the way he prescribes.

The whole point is that without God's input you have no skills to discern good and evil correctly. Correctly would be in keeping with his directions for living your life. And his word is the final and only word to be trusted. The next time you read the bible, listen to the Holy Spirit in your heart for the meaning of those words.

Trust God, but be careful! It sounds like you are trusting your own interpretation of what God said. I haven't studied the origin of evil enough to give you a good answer to that question, but as to who to trust--the answer is God.
Find out what God's will is by reading his word and praying to him for understanding. Be careful to base a belief on a single bible verse--most of the silly rules of churches (not the real commandments of God-the rules like no gambling, dancing, skirts covering the knees, don't touch the opposite sex, even their little finger, no meat on friday, etc.) come from misinterpreting a verse out of context.
That said, church leaders can be a valuable source of information, as they have studied the Bible, but often they have been led to their conclusions by men. Listen to what they say, and pray to God to find the truth.

You just made an obvious question much more interesting. Thank you. Yes, you trust God before any man, even Christians. I suggest, however, that you look deeper into His Word to get your answer. God is large. There is no requirement for us to understand Him. I find Him fascinating.

Quite simply, your local Christians, as good as they are or want to be, fall short of the wisdom of God. All things were created by God and through Jesus Christ. I guess that includes Satan and evil.

my answer to you is simply this trust god , but you will ask the question why should i trust God .
the answer to any question that you have will be answered through prayer if you want to know any thing about God you will have to go to him your self and the way to talk to him is through prayer that is the way to communicate with him .
and trust me you will get all the answers to your question not all at the same time .
but the answers will come line upon line precepts upon precepts here a little there a little .
and listen to the still small voice which is the holy spirit which brings the truth of all things to your heart and your mind .
and another good way of getting answers to your question is pondering .

in no way . I in no way believed in God I challenged Him instantaneous or i replaced into going to stroll away. He delivered what i mandatory to have faith as i presumed if He existed He could enable me know in my very very own way previous the shadow of a doubt or He would not exist. i'm a Christian by using fact of that. I won't pass into that right here yet all i'm able to assert is be honest on your unbelief and ask Him to bare Himself and he will. guy makes many God's and be not dismayed there are different religious beings waiting to grant you fake reports yet you may tell them with the aid of their end result. as quickly as the Holy Spirit is entwined with your spirit you have no extra questions. till then he's in simple terms knocking on the door of your heart to settle for Jesus salvation. Christianity has a Truine Godhead Islam would not.
