"I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the LORD, do all these things."

Isaiah

The Lord created the entire universe with his bare hands.
He created good and bad. He is responsible for the bad things that happen, and the good things. He is the only one who creates evil!!! the LORD!!!!!

AMEN.

GOD CREATES EVIL AS WELL AS GOOD! 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.

Tanakh, The Holy Scriptures: The New JPS Translation According to the Traditional Hebrew Text confirms this understanding with, "I form light and create darkness, I make weal and create woe—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

NO!

The LORD is the one who will call the city to be destroyed, the women raped and the babies killed. The LORD is the one who APPOINTS EVIL.

Those of you who believe that satan controls this world, that God doesnt control the evil , you are wrong.



"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.

Do you even have a clue of what/Who God is?

God is God because He is Good.

If He were not good, He would not be God.
ITS A TRAP

Re: Why do we all automatically believe that God is good and ONLY punishes evil?
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
