if God created both good and evil,?

Question

wouldn't he/she have to be part evil?

Answer 1

How do you really know which is which?
Good or Evil?
Maybe the "Good" one is true Evil,
And the "Evil" one is truely the Good.

Answer 2

But why did God not create a world so perfect that no evil could exist in it? With infinite power God could always create something better. But with infinite wisdom and goodness God freely willed to create a world "in a state of journeying" towards its ultimate perfection. In God's plan this process of becoming involves the appearance of certain beings and the disappearance of others, the existence of the more perfect alongside the less perfect, both constructive and destructive forces of nature. With physical good there exists also physical evil as long as creation has not reached perfection.

Answer 3

Gen.1:31 states "After that God saw everything he had made and,look! [it was ] very good." and
James1:13,14 "....for with evil things God cannot be tried,nor does himself try anyone.But each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by his own desire."
God did not create evil.As Gen1:31 states,all that God created was good.However,God gave his intelligent creation the gift of free will,which the angel that became Satan and Devil misused and as James 1 brings out Satan was so enticed by his desire for the worship that rightly belonged to Jehovah God that it caused him to sin and there began evil

Answer 4

Didn't God just leave human beings to express their own free will choices leading to evil?

Answer 5

Some how in my opinion, some higher laws of this Universe require that there must always be opposites for everything to exist in this Universe
For eg Light and Darkness, Space and Matter, Good and Bad, Man and Woman.
So If there is a God and he is good some body has to be the exact opposite of him.

Answer 6

The first truth the Bible tells us about the devil is that he is real, and he is our enemy. Jesus said that the devil "was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him" (John 8:44).

This is one reason why I caution you not to become too fascinated with the devil or with evil. Satan's main goal is to turn us away from God—and when we focus too much on the devil, then we won't focus on God the way we should. Yes, the devil is real, and so are his demons (evil spiritual beings who carry out his commands). But God is also real—and He alone is all-powerful. And someday He will defeat Satan and bind him forever.

Instead, focus your attention on Jesus Christ. The Bible says, "The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work" (1 John 3:8). How did He do this? He did it by His death on the cross for us (which won our salvation) and by His resurrection from the dead (which conquered death and Hell). Satan is a defeated foe!

Have you ever opened your heart to Christ, and are you seeking the help of His Spirit every day to defeat Satan's temptations? Make sure of your salvation today by giving your life to Christ. Then make Him the center of your life, for He alone gives us victory over death and Hell and Satan.

Answer 7

probably, except that God did not create evil, He allowed men and angels to have free will and they have produced evil.

Answer 8

No, God created both to give us a choice, to prove we love Him.

Answer 9

Everything is good. Evil is only lack of good.
Just like Sun, and lack of Sun.
