Why Evil Is a Part of God's Creation

[Soul Doctor]

---

I think that God gave us an idea of His perfection

Man invented the word "perfect".

Whatever God created is not "perfect", and He has his reasons.
You would not see a perfectly straight line in nature.
When you say perfect, you have a standard as reference.
But God created each creature as unique as possible.
And He never created a standard for reference.
He created creatures that contains DNA
to make sure that these creatures form millions of genetic variations.

If you can imagine a perfect world-- it is also a world too boring.

standard doesn't mean that its perfect sad oi...

GOD created the possibility of "EVIL," but that does not mean GOD created a "DEVIL" or a "SATAN." The "EVIL" that GOD created is simply, and nothing more and nothing less than, the opposite of good. We have all been given the power to imagine"EVIL" in our lives, and to make it very real. But in the realm of the Absolute , "EVIL" is simply a figment of our imagination. That is, it is not real. It does not exist. It is not part of the Kingdom of GOD. Shakespeare put this beautifully when he wrote, "Nothing is evil lest thinking make it so." Those were extraordinarily wise words. There is no devil. Satan is a figment of our imagination. Organized religion must, however, make you believe there is a devil, otherwise you will have nothing to fear, and if you have nothing to fear, you will not need organized religion. Peace!

Are there such things as "demons," which pastors and priests "cast out"? I do not believe so, and thus create a reality that very much looks as if and feels as if they are "possessed." We can convince ourselves of anything, Maikeru, and thereby make it our reality. I'm sorry that this is not a more complete or direct answer to your question, Maikeru. But here's a thought: why not ask GOD yourself, and see what wisdom comes to you? Let me know what this yields. I'd be interested.

It's ok if you didn't answer the question directly. I was just wondering though, since if I remember correctly Jesus, casted demons out of different possessed persons in the gospels.

I'll try (it takes time though) Since I'm not used to asking God of anything, except for guidance.
