Why did God create evil?

Ahhh ok, paki eksplayn ni migo...

Spoiler! 

Niingon na sad ko.. It doesn't mean forgoing justice. God's unconditional love is demonstrated by the common grace that He gives to all people regardless if they believe in Him or not.

Think of house rules. If you obey your father you'll get a reward and if you disobey you'll get punished. That doesn't mean your father loves one and not the other.

Why trust the bible, a book filled w/ contradictions?

Ahhh, so your God isn't omnipotent migo

Why did you say so migo?Your understanding is clearly different than mine.To me God is omnipotent. And what would omnipotent mean?It is having virtually unlimited authority or influence.What is the problem with that?

That's why I never read the bible because a lot of verses there degraded women like whores tsk tsk tsk. I love you sis! mwah!

Surely if you say you have never read the bible yet know what is written there, it is tantamount to saying you are all-knowing or omniscient?

There are no contradictions in the bible. Some verses seem to contradict another but it's always that way when you take the verse out of context.

Ahhh contradiction on the bible?
Let me see...
- The ark was a very heavy object and must have weight thousand of tons.
- The Hebrew priests were said to have carried the ark across the Jordan River.

Not even close but just to brighten everyone's day. Ha ha ha...

Omnipotent meaning unlimited POWER migo, your God could have changed Lucifer from a bad*ss to a loyal servant. The same power your God showed to Moses when he turned the Pharoah's heart into a coldblooded one so that God can murder all the first-borns in Egypt.

Surely if you say you have never read the bible yet know what is written there, it is tantamount to saying you are all-knowing or omniscient?

Of course migo, I've read the evil bible before, here are some verses that belittle women....

"And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire." (Leviticus 21:9)
"When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets: then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her." (Deuteronomy 25:11-12)
"Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean." (Leviticus 12:2)

"But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days." (Leviticus 12:5)
"But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God." (I Corinthians 11:3)

"For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man." (I Corinthians 11:8-9)

@ porbidaman post #1098 No problem here migo with your meaning of omnipotent as both yours & mine are Merriam-Websters def.You highlighted part of my post. "God didn’t know in advance that Lucifer would fall."and your "Ahhh, so your God isn't omnipotent migo".Hence i pointed out the meaning of omnipotent. In light of my post, perhaps you were referring to God being omniscient - all knowing? Least some readers may misunderstood your notion, Lucifer was "not a bas@ss to a loyal servant". It was the other way around.God created not satan but Lucifer.Given the freedom to follow God or not, what Lucifer eventually choose was not knowable in advance, That is freedom, to my understanding at least. There appears to have a contradiction in your statements

That's why I never read the bible ...

Of course migo, I've read the evil bible before...

With your numerous posting & exchanges, i pretty understand the confusion.Btw i appreciate your taking the time to post the lengthy quotes on women. Keep these thread alive, interesting and above the belt guys & gals.

You have an eye like an eagle migo but why did you omit the word "before" migo after I post "Of course migo, I've read the evil bible..."
So much for that I like the way you analyze migo just like a private investigator. I should have add the word, all-knowing, after omnipotent. A miscalculation in my part. Thank you pointing my mistakes amigoz.
