I would like to have you clarify some things that are puzzling me. In your post you state.
The concept of evil or good are not things that can be created or destroyed.
However in this passage in the bible it says.
Gen 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Now in this passage it is evident that God created the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.Therefore God created evil. Now we have Adam and Eve who,let's face it, were tempted by God[through the snake whom he also created] when he said
" Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."
Now you make this statement.
Sin was not created by God, it was created or came into being when rebellion against God took place.
How did Adam and Eve rebel against God when they had no idea of right and wrong
until they had eaten the fruit of the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil?
Now here we have this statement
One of God's angels, who also have free will as we do
Odd how God and Satan seem best of buddies as shown here.
"Job 2:6 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he [is] in thine hand; but save his life."
This is before Satan is allowed to test Job's resolve. Why would God league with Satan in a test of
faith?
Just some points to ponder.
By the way where is it said that Satan created sin?
