Why did God create evil?

[Sister]

 

There is nothing in the hermeneutic of Genesis to allow this kind of thinking... you see I believe that when
God had His Word written down it was for all mankind down through the ages... therefore in that reasoning
there are strict laws of writing that must be adhered to-in order for you  to arrive at same meaning as written
source. This is called hermeneutics and I believe it is the most important begin in understanding literary
sense of what God's distinct meanings are in the whole of Scripture....

So in other words, we have to have the understanding of whole scripture before we can interpret something?  Yes I agree, that is what I have been saying.

Your last statement of
(") reason cannot be based solely on whats written in scripture (")
I fear for your heart in this... your saying Scripture is not enough or you need outside source to complete the
reasoning of things.

I say that if you quoted my whole sentence, you would not be confused.  This is what I said;

So this is why we have to reason, and reason cannot be based solely on whats written in scripture but with understanding which only God can give us through the spirit of truth, and yes I agree one day it will be as clear as day!

 My point is, ...it clearly does not say that the angels were created in the 6 day genesis account, so going back to your "hermeneutics" definition, we have to look outside these genesis scriptures to get better understanding.  I did not mean to go outside the bible, but look to other verses.

I provided you with Job Ch 38 to give evidence.  I showed you that that the angels shouted for joy when the foundations of the earth were laid.  I explained that the foundations of the earth was either the "plan" for earth, or the start of building the earth (cornerstone), the beginning of works, and they were there from the start, from day 1.

Either way, this was the first thing that God gave us record of;

 Genesis 1:2   And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
 Genesis 1:3   And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Stage 1 completed.

So you see I have used "hermeneutics" as you define, not outside scripture, but within.

I fear for your heart in this... your saying Scripture is not enough or you need outside source to complete the
reasoning of things. God says this is incorrect by this verse
2 Tim 3:15-17
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make
thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given
by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly
furnished unto all good works.
this last portion of the writ 'thoroughly furnished unto all good works' may be understood  that the Scripture is
all we need to maintain Godly understanding, thoughts, activities, works till we enter His presence...

Yes, scripture is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction.....

Why then have you ignored the evidence in Job 38 I have given you?  You have not addressed it?  Why is my evidence being ignored?

 

Scripture expressly states you are not to add one iota to anything that is written Rev 22:18.
Ps 119:105
 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

 This is what I told you! We can't add anything.

  On what day during the 6 day creation did God create the angels?  Where is it written?  You cannot slip it in there.   You have done what you advised me not to do!

 

 

You  may of course do as
you wish but I will stay with within the boundaries of what God has written for God in His Word has given me
no place else for my feet to trod and remain in His path... 

Ok, maybe you need to go back and look at those boundaries, so it's fair for all.

 

KJV
I seriously suggest you study Ps 119 with all meditative diligence and pray God grant you repentance for the
direction of your thoughts...      Love, Steven  

 Thank you for your advice.

I haven't slipped it in... it has to occur after the creation of beginning ... In The beginning - hermeneutical principles applied the place
where God without beginning starts everything that is with beginning period (OR) else you add to Scripture... day four stars are made
now Job tells us angel are there period! Standing on Scripture alone as written day one to day four. Some believe it was day four when
their creation occurred   God doesn't say! I believe a better possibility would be day one due to the reference of light and darkness
due to Lucifer's category given Him

Eph 6:12
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
KJV

2 Cor 11:14
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
KJV

It is interesting to note nowhere in Scripture are we told when God made His angels and nowhere are we told when he created darkness...

Isa 45:7
7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil:
I the Lord do all these things.
KJV
I await His telling me when I get home... but for certain 'In the beginning' is the start of all that is created of God and is backed up by

Gen 2:1-2
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh
day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work
which he had made.
KJV
In the context all His work is referring to God's creation day one to day six. So did God make Lucifer?  Hermeneutically there is no where
else in Scripture allowing for the placement but day one to day four... love, Steven

God didn't create evil. He permits it because he weaves All things to the counsel of his Will. Bible is clear Adam disobedience brought sin into the world. GOD didn't cause this he permitted it Lucifer chose to disobey God and turned to Satan. Love can't be forced God has the foreknowledge but people confuses this with that the idea he directly causes evil to happen
