God created everything good?

Question

and evil made the bad then who create evil?

Answer 1

God Created everything....Man created evil

Answer 2

God created both good and evil. Even the bible supports this. In actuality, there is no good nor evil. Good, bad, right, wrong. These concepts are based on our position only. For instance, if you are at street level, you can see for a certain distance, but if you are on top of a 25 story building, you can see much further. It is due to our limited perception that we see the dualities of good and evil. At a higher level, we can see that there is cause and effect, action and reaction, but no good or evil.

Since God is absolute, there is no duality in Him. Good and evil are the same. Nothing can exist outside or independantly of God. What we see as evil is sometimes actually good, but since we can only see a limited portion of the scene, we conclude that one thing is evil and one thing is good.

One example of this is how the media portrays a subject in a biased way. I saw a video wherein a group of soldiers were shooting at some civilians. The newscaster was condemning the "brutal attack" against these harmless citizens. Later, the cameraman who had been on the scene, exposed the rest of the film, showing that the "harmless" citizens were actually a terrorist group that had ambushed the soldiers with grenades and other weapons. So, in this way, we can see that what at first was considered evil was actually good. The viewers were not in a position to understand the entire story, but the cameraman was.

Another example is that of charity. You might give a homeless man 5 dollars, thinking, "Oh, I am doing some good, because he can get a meal". But if you see him walk directly to the liquor store, and come out with a bottle, what good did you do him?

With our limited perception, we see things as good or evil, but with God's unlimited perception, all things are good, because all things work according to the arrangement God has made, whether we recognize it or not.

Answer 3

First, we need to make distinctions respecting evil. What is meant by evil? Are there different types of evil? Are all forms of evil necessarily "bad"?

Second, the standard answer in the western Christian tradition is that no one created evil since evil is a privation, just as holes or shadows are privations. Even if one defines evil in terms other than privation, one is not forced to say that God created evil. Saint Augustine locates evil in the defective will of the free human agent. The blame rests with humans and the Tempter.

Answer 4

God created everything. Evil is what you and society decide it is. The definition changes over time, slavery and smoking were once considered "good", that has now changed to "evil." Murder is considered "evil" unless it is done in a war and then if you kill enough people they will pin a medal on you and call you a "hero."

Good and evil are man's creation, not god's.

Answer 5

Good creates evil. Evil creates good. Without good, there is no evil. Just like if there were no 'up', there would be no 'down'. As soon as you say something is beautiful, you are also calling something ugly.

Answer 6

Again......Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and good things come? Lam.3.38........

...And also again...I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the LORD, do all these things...Is.45.7

I am the LORD, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me, so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting men may know there is none besides me. I am the LORD, and there is no other...Is.45.5-6

....I know this might seem tough to some people, but TRY to understand this; there is none else but God.....and of course, there's you too....So, this is between you and Him....

Good luck with that!0!

Answer 7

Evil is a result of having free will.Lucifer found that evil within himself when he decided to try a "Coup" on God's throne.He also convinced 1/3 of the other angels to follow him and now they are damned.You can't really love without free will so God allowed it,He would rather have us choose to love Him rather than be forced,but with that gives us other free choices.

Answer 8

All good things are created by God- and so distance from good is lack of good or evil. Absence of light is darkness.

Answer 9

God could easily create a perfect world, but that would eliminate free choice.

Even with the angels, some disobeyed God and deceived Adam and Eve into the 'original sin'...

So with anything, there is good and bad, except God...

Evil takes good and makes it bad...it uses good things for evil purposes...The Justice system....The Health System if corrupted feed off the promotion of evil.

By the way, 'anti-truths' prove that the original sin is still with us....truth can lie...its not in your dictionaries yet...but the book will be published soon...

Answer 10

God created everything. Karma is the checks and balances on the planet - all religions acknowledge "Karma" in their own language i.e. "do unto other as you would have them do unto you", "what comes around goes around", "you reap what you sow", etc. So actions are what create good and bad. God just created the canvas!
