Why did God create more evil than good?

Question

More people will end up in hell than heaven. Does that mean Satan>God?

Answer 1

God does not create evil. The Bible says that every good and perfect gift comes from above.

Also, if you read and study the fall of man, God gave man free will to choose to serve Him, rather than making us little robots who must do his will, and we chose to do things our own way, which doesn't work, instead of His way, which does work.

Also, I have not seen evidence in the Bible or theology that says that more people will end up in hell than in heaven. Please educate in your comments if you have this information.

Finally, no matter how many people do not believe, Satan cannot be greater than God. Satan has been allowed by man to reign in the Earth, not by God. Man took the authority and dominion that God gave him to reign in the Earth and turned it over to Satan in the garden of Eden, thus Jesus was needed to turn that authority back over to man.

Answer 2

God has given man " free will " , which means he can make a choice , either follow the Word of God or not . If one has chosen "not " to follow God , then the the "evil " is consumated in deeds that are not of God !!! Man creates evil ! If one studies the scriptures and follows the path layed out by the teachings of Jesus , then there would be no evil... People end up in hell by the choices they made while alive , not by the will of God or the power of the devil . Man makes either God great , or man makes the devil great . The reward is either heaven or hell , your choice . Satan makes sin look innocent and OK , which is contrary to the way of The Lord. It is God that has given you a choice , the devil is just there to take in all the ones who made the wrong choice !! Therefore ; God who gives you two choices is always greater than satan , because satan gives you only one choice ..

Answer 3

Gen 1:31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good, and there was evening and morning - the sixth day.
Gen 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.

God created everything that was good. It was man that created the evil by rebelling against God.
Satan is the father of lies and he was the one to first tempt Eve in the Garden of Eden. Evil has consumed the world from that point on.

Answer 4

God didn't create evil. Satan decided he wanted to better than God. That is where evil comes in. Satan was thrown down to earth, where he reigns now. God still has His hands on Satan. He can't do everything he wants yet. Wait until the tribulation time. Then things will get worse than ever before. God gave us all free will, and we chose to believe or not believe. God did not make robots out of people.

Answer 5

No. When Adam and Eve sinned, sin came into the world. When you look around and see so much evil, it's a "snowball" effect down through the centuries.

He will make all things right again one day. But right now, people still have the opportunity to come to Jesus and be saved. When God steps in, that day He does put an end to all unrighteousness, it will be too late to repent.

Answer 6

Evil is not a tangible entity, while good is. Evil is just the term for the lack of good. Initially, as all came from God, the Supreme Good, everything was good. The problem is free will. Angels--Satan included--who pridefully chose to turn away from God and turn into themselves committed the first sin, and that is how evil, or the lack of good, came to be. It was after the fall that Satan tempted the first humans, Adam and Eve, to disobey the Lord, with the hopes that eating of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil would make them just like God. So, just as it was the pride of the angels that caused their fall, Adam and Eve disobeyed the Lord because they wished to be as good as He (no one can do this, despite the lies that Satan and his fellow tempters propagate throughout the world, for God is infinitely good, and no created being, with a finite nature, can ever compare to the infinite Being, God). Thus, God did not create evil. Evil occurred because beings chose themselves over God. Such prideful choices constitute sin. Because God loves us, He grants to us free will, that is, the ability to choose between good and evil, between Himself and nothingness. God does not wish to force any of us to love Him, for that would not be true love. Therefore, He makes it so that we must either choose Him or reject Him. It is this rejection of God that constitutes evil, and so, it was not God who created evil, but it was the beings who rejected the Lord who allowed evil to enter into existence. As for the inequality "Satan>God", the problem behind this is that the Lord is infinite, while Satan is not. The creator is always superior to the one created, for it is the creator who existed first, who conceived of the design of the one created, and who actually created the one created. So, no matter how much evil exists, God, the creator, will always be more than Satan, the created. Furthermore, God, as the infinite wellspring of goodness, can never be outweighed by evil; that is, there will always be more good than evil because God is infinitely (that is, without bound) good, whereas all that is evil is the work of the created--the finite--and so is limited.

God bless.

Answer 7

You are just a little pessimistic, that's all.

I know this isn't going to get me a best answer, but I'm going to attack your reasoning.

With different wording, in each and every human being, God put a miniature Satan who talks to you, etc. Your job is to ignore him.
To ignore him is no small task, so it's a great feet to go to heaven.

One BIG thing that you are missing is that God said that he COULD have made all humans perfect, but he chose not to.

Actually, he did create some being to be be 100% perfect, and those are the angels.

So, God could kill Satan, but he chose not to. He could have made us immune to Satan, but what's the point in that?

Answer 8

Evil men and women always attempt to gain prosperity through negative decisions. That’s why; they commit sins and break the law__ of course, all wrong. The book of their deeds is the record of their life___ and is nothing but evil and evilish (devilish) acts. These men and women will gain nothing but loss here and hereafter.

Righteous men and women always attempt to gain prosperity through positive decisions. That’s why they commit good deeds, follow all kind of laws of humanity and are not a hindrance for anyone. The book of their deeds is the record of their life___ by the will of the Lord___ good deeds. These men and women will gain prosperity by the will of the God__ Our Lord, here and hereafter.

God created everything, the whole universe and then created ‘you’ and gave you the knowledge of good and bad. So do good, because God wants you to do good to meet the good of God.

Answer 9

What we perceive as good and evil is a product of social climate. The images of god and satan are products of the mind of man.

Answer 10

God had nothing to do with it. Besides, the judgment of whether there is more good or evil in the world is highly subjective.
