Christians claim god is 100% good
but god created evil , so how could good be good
say god is like ice cream
and dirt is evil
what happens when you put dirt on ice cream , is ice cream still good ? NO!
So how can god be good?
Also i thought there's no evil in heaven ?

God is 100% good. The devil is the originator of all evil. Take for example the story of Job as an illustration. It was the devil's idea to send disaster and plaques on Job, but he first had to get God's permission to do so. Only when God lets the devil to carry out his plan does the devil ferociously attack Job.
That is why the Bible says evil came from God because He allowed the devil to carry out his evil plans, but the devil was the originator of the evil plan. God never thinks up of evil plans against His creation because His purpose is to save not destroy.
But why would God let the devil carry out his evil plans? That's because He wants to give Satan a chance to prove that his government is really better than God's (like he claimed during his rebellion in heaven), but the devil's plans always lead to destruction.

God is good. He created a perfect angel but the angel sinned and was kicked out of heaven. That angel is the devil. So the devil brought sin into this world. You gotta be careful how you look at these verses. Some are from a mans prospective. The Bible has the good stories and the bad stories. So you can see it different ways. God will do anything to stop evil.
I have this one story:
One missionary was having a meeting of how to quite smoking. He asked the next day for everyone to bring all of their cigarettes, alcohol,(etc.) Only one woman didn't bring hers. So the woman went to him and told the missionary, "Your never going to make me stop smoking, in fact I'm going to go smoke right now." Then he replied, "Well if you do I'm going to pray something bad happens to you." So the women just left and the missionary prayed to God so something bad will happen to her. And the next day her lips got numb so she couldn't smoke. Then she believed and five days later she got baptized.
So you see there is a good kind of bad. so that's what these verses also probably mean.

Hmm..ok it relatively is what I heard, devil replaced into God's brother...and that they the two lived in heaven, then devil did some evil doing or something undesirable so God sent him to Hell to stay for the reason that he did incorrect. If it relatively is authentic..isn't God relatively evil? I advise all of us makes mistake is there relatively a would desire to deliver your man or woman flesh and blood to a diverse place as a results of fact of a mistake? I understand if it replaced into rape, or killing or something. yet damn...i'm no longer Christian or something, yet that's what I heard from people who mentioned they have been Christian. So can somebody sparkling this up? ..additionally to respond to your question I do think of god would be evil and can do evil. I advise who would not do evil issues each and every so generally? no one is suited and that i be responsive to God isn't the two, and no i'm no longer 'hating' on God or something..yet basically conversing what's logical.

God did not create us robots. We have a choice between good and evil.
God is the Creator of EVERYTHING. Good and bad. Godly and evil. Heaven and earth.
God created Satan. He is a created being (Ezek 28:15)
He was perfectly created (Ezek 28:12b,15)
He once held a very high position and was the anointed cherub in Eden.
He was the angel called Lucifer, the angel of Light in heaven with God and all the other angels. He rebelled against God and some others angels follwed him. He fell through PRIDE.
He has come to kill, steal and destroy. He is the deceiver.
Fallen himself, Satan has no greater joy than to make others fall, he has become the prince of the demons. He is the evil one.
God is holy and will punish the rebellious, etc.
GOD GAVE US THE CHOICE TO CHOOSE: EVIL OR GOOD. It is our choice. It is your choice.

Theres lotsa ways to look at it,
Some people think If he exists, he's both. I don't think that you understand evil, though, the human brand of sick things done by psycho nutcases don't qualify, in my opinion, as Evil.
Evil is more in destruction to start over, than destruction or violating rights because of an inferiority complex.Some people think God created good. Satan created Evil.Some people think god doesn't exist.Some people think God is good you have not read the bible with the illumination of his spirit.god never created evil, no the darkness in the passage you read refers night.Tell me wha is evil in night?
According to the Bible, God drowned, plagued, and slaughtered millions (more than Hitler), hardened hearts, and repeatedly commanded his followers to kill others. That's just plain EVIL.God is good, very good. It's just that He is not fully undertood. Evil was created for the purpose of honing, training and screening us. The survivors will be finished projects, a new order of free-thinking beings. His expectations of this new order of being is so great, it necessitated great forms of training.
Theres a lot of oppinions about god but nobodys wrong

Everything God created is good, but man decided to sin and that is how evil came into this world. God did not create it, however, He does use it to punish those doing wrong. That's not evil, that is punishing people who are disobeying Him.

I don't think God is evil. The Holy Bible was written by men. They wrote their own beliefs and the beliefs of other men before them.

I think anything god does is right because he is the almighty one. man is not supposed to question what god does because he is god and he created you and he can destroy you. but I don't think anything god does is evil. nothing is evil unless it is evil in the sight of the Almighty it's all about what god thinks is evil.
