God is HOLY!!! He cannot be blamed for the evils of this world! Satan is evil, and brings evil to the world, but God is always holy.

When we think of good vs. evil, we've already come to a decision.
When I think of good vs. evil in the bible, I think of the story of adam and eve. Did this event actually happen? probably not, but I believe the story itself was an important message from God in how humans wish to behave.
The message is this: God has given us everything. He gave us life, he gave us love, he gives us hope.
But the earth he placed us on has temptations and evils. Like the snake in the garden, we know what the evils are, but we choose to eat the apple anyway, knowing that this will further upset our relationship with God.
The evils in this world are evils chosen by man. Satan has placed "apples" all over the world everywhere, tempting us as humans, to take a bite.
And everytime we do, God sheds a tear for us.

it is an interesting point.
Omnipotence is a word crreated by man to describe something he can not fully understand. And since man is imperfect and not omnipotent or omniscient, so must this description be.
The real trick comes in seperating out the results of being omnipotent, and also allowing free will.

it was mans inquisitiveness that led him to choose his bargain - FREEWILL FOR CONSEQUENCES.
now my actions today will determine my future tomorrow. and we all should stand up and face the consequences when we r too eager to grab hold of freedom.
freedom and freewill always come along with consequences.
so basically man is responsible for all what he does, he does not like being told what to do, he does not like anyone imposing or shoving anythin down his throat.
so when u dont accept the help that comes along the way, and follow ur heart.
if the end result is noce u say yes it was my hard work and dedication. but when the grapes turn sour u blame god. now u know the answer. dont u?

God gave us the freedom of choice to obey him or disobey him. Before the earth was, some angels in heaven wanted to be God He cast them out they were who created evil not God. Then in the garden of Eden, the Lord said do not eat of the tree, and the serpent or the devil came and tempted Eve and she could have just remembered , "well God gave us all the other fruits so I could do without this one" but she did not. She of her own free will ate of the fruit and her sin was passed to all men. It is not God who is to blame but our selves and our forefathers.

and why should we blame Him? he's already doing what he wants to do to get rid of evil eventually. and for good.

It seems to be essentially this:
Something good happens: it's God's will, proof of his power and miraculous nature.
Something bad happens: it's free will. How could we know right from wrong if God didn't let us have free will?

No... Mankind has free-will... we get to choose what we want to be. Good or Evil.
