The Bible says so - see Isaiah 45 verse 7 (King James Version) "Isaiah 45:7 King James Version (KJV) 7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things. |

The parallelism here shows that this is not to be understood in the sense of all evil, but of that which is the opposite of peace and prosperity. That is, God directs judgments |

"You have wearied the LORD with your words. "How have we wearied him?" you ask. By saying, "All who do evil are good in the eyes of the LORD, and he is pleased with them" or "Where is the God of justice?" GOD IS THE ONE WHO HAS CREATED THE EVIL AND THE GOOD. THE DARK AND THE LIGHT. HE IS THE MASTER. |

ITS A TRAP User ID: 14608343 United States 05/29/2014 11:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Good and evil are subjective terms. People who believe in "gods" generally make it clear that said "gods" work in ways that humans don't understand. You're trying to rationalize the irrational A child might think its parents are "evil" for withholding copious amounts of candy and ice cream, when in reality the parent is trying to keep the child from getting sick but the child is too ignorant to understand Not defending religion, just pointing out the absurdity of applying "objective" logic to something that seemingly can't be observed objectively |
