Whose Babble Is Better?
Mike,
quote:
Now even if God creates evil for the fruit of our evil, etc. etc.
The point remains that in Isaiah 45, God claims that everything comes from Him, that He creates evil as well as good. Now it's all well and fine to say that this "rubbish" is the product of our God-starved imaginations, but the very Scripture you claim is a guide to the thoughts and demands of God says that He creates evil. And like Rrhain asks, how good is a God who also creates evil?
​
regards,
Esteban Hambre

Re: Whose Babble Is Better?
Mike,
​
I should have known better. This is the "Faith and Belief" forum, after all, so the concepts of internal logic and consistency are strictly prohibited.
​
So God created evil strictly for evil-doers, whom He created mainly so that later He could create evil to cast upon them. He is good because the evil He creates is only to punish the evil-doers for the evil they do to others, which is necessary so that He can later punish them for it.
​
Clear as a bell. Thanks.
​
regards,
Esteban Hambre
