God created evil for his pleasure. Do you recognize the pleasure of creating and doing evil?
Rev 4;11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Some people have what has been termed, the problem of evil. Many cannot fathom why, if god is good, he would create evil. Yet the scriptures are clear that god created evil for his pleasure.
It may be due to my criminal mind and delinquent attitude, but I think I know why. I wondered if you ands others had also dithered out a reasonable answer to show why sin and evil are required for god’s plan and our mental and moral development.
This fact is likely why the ancient Christians determined that sin was necessary for our development. They sing that Adam furthered god’s plan by his sin.
To them, even as Christianity and I clash, and the intelligent position, is that to not sin or do evil, is to derail god’s plan.
In this, issue, I happen to agree with the scriptures and Christians who say the sin and evil is good and necessary to god’s plan.
Do you?
Regards
DL

Regards DL Evil is a deficiency in good, yet is a good in itself. For example God creating the devil observes the devil as good in the respect he reflects the totality of God's justice where one can do what they will yet consequences result. The devil is an example of God's complete justice and in these respects is good. All being, as an extension of the Good, reflects different grades of goodness. |

I agree.
In our dualistic universe, it must be so. Even Yahweh has his evil side.
I don't think I would call it a deficiency, given that we have to have it to be complete.
Our two sides, like Yin and Yang, compliment each other.

So genocidal and infanticidal is not evil to you. I hope you do not have children in that case. A good father you are not. Regards DL |

I cannot prove a negative. That is a logical falasy.
Only a positive claim like yours can be proven.
Show proof of another life after death or admit to you being the one with false imaginary beliefs.
Faith based claims are garbage because you cannot show any proof.
In fact, speaking of your faith, or your lack a faith in god, I just gave this to another faithless guy who lied about his faith. It may apply to you to a T.
You do not have faith. If you did, you would not think god a loser by believing in hell.
You see god as too incompetent to do his will of saving us all.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
1 Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

DL
