Don't we learn from hate greed and lust? Maybe that is how some find the path to God.

According to the Old Testament, which christians are so fond of quoting, and then turning around and saying it's irrelevant, yes. Jehovah was both good and evil, Satan was just an angel, he was God's lackey and couldn't do anything without God's say-so. How Satan acquired the status of Evil near-god himself, I'll never know. Maybe it was so christians today could say God is all-good,all-loving, etc.

Well, that's what the Bible says.
Ecclesiastes
3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven;
3:2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3:3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
3:4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
3:5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
3:6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
3:7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
3:8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
However, since God doesn't really exist, it is a moot point.

Pagans believe God is all things. Christians and Jews do not. Pagans also believe hate greed and lust are nessisary evils.

No, he gave us free will and that is how some chose to use it.
That is not God's fault. Humans thought up hate greed and lust.
Of course they had help from the wicked angels.

No, I don't think so. The devil is hate, greed, lust, and a number of other evil and bad things.
So are humans-well not all of us, just some
people. Not you though, and hopefully not
anyone on here-Yahoo! Answers, and not me either.

God is Hate greed and lust.
But according to some he is testing you and is still good.
Although i think God is the equivilant of a little kid with a magnifying glass.

nope..you are misinterpreting God. God is the creator...he is soo powerful that he cannot do wrong..he is not HUMAN...humans can have those feelings but God shows love towards people of all faults, and all races.
