Cool Gods true Genius to Creation

Gods real and true Genius are the Evil it created to give its creations motivation, Life was meaningless,before God created Sin, after Sin, Death came into the theatre, and the value of Life was established, God must have spent an eternity with just the positive element,to find positive as a none-workable ele4ment, its Genius was the creation of Evil,the negative element,throw them together with a little imagination, and we have a workable existence, Evil,! what a brainstorm,!!!

Could you please use some grammar or make that more clear - because it made absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Well, now you know how we feel after reading most of your posts!

No hard feelings, BTW.

Now that was uncalled for. For the record, Magus55, I think that your posts have been very clear.

Unfortunately, they very clearly point to the conclusion that you think that logic should conform to your beliefs and not the other way around. But hey, we'll work on that.

Not quite sure what point you are trying to make, but God did not create evil.

Sure he did, you want to say he is creator, then he is. He is directly responsible.

Omnisicience, it's a b*tch!

Heh. You need to read your Bible more carefully. Lamentations 3:37-38, in particular:
Quote:
Who is he that saith, and it cometh to path when the Lord commandeth it not? Out of the mouth of the Most High proceedeth not evil and good?
"Evil" here, is ra: bad or (as noun) evil (nat. or mor.):--adversity, affliction, bad, calamity + displease (-ure), distress, evil ([favouredness], man, thing), + exceedingly, * great, grief (-vous), harm, heavy, hurt (-ful), ill (favoured), + mark, mischief (-vous), misery, naught (-ty), nolsome, + not please, sad (-ly), sore, sorrow, trouble, vex, wicked (-ly, -ness, -one), worse (-st), wretchedness, wrong. [Strong's 7451]

Keep on trying malookie

Thanks, Joel.

However while God did not create evil that does not mean that He does not use evil for His purposes. I do not think this point is sufficiently understood and therefore leads to confusion.

Satan himself is even under God's control and he is used by God-Job is a particularly good example of this.

Who or what created Evil then?

How did Evil come to be?

If God controls evil, then all evil is under teh control of God, thus God is doing evil things, true it is through Satan, but still, ultimately God is teh one who moves everything, including evil!
