The reason why the evil exists

[Igor Evgen]

Q: Brother, there is a lot of evil around: wars, crimes, cruelty…

Where is GOD? How come He tolerates all that?

A: According to Genesis 1:26-31, GOD Creator anointed us people Masters

over His Creation.

And GOD said, Let Us make man in Our Image, after Our Likeness: and let them have Dominion ... over all the Earth ... So GOD created man in His Own Image, in the Image of GOD created He him; male and female created He them. And GOD blessed them, and GOD said unto them, Be Fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the Earth, and subdue it ... And GOD saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was Very Good ... (Genesis 1:26-31)

So, who is in charge and, therefore, first guilty?

GOD also offered us His Guidance:

I am the Way, the Truth and the Life... (John 14:6)

Take it. Give a try. Prove Him. Then all your troubles will be over. For His Written Word is not some free pack of instructions – it's Covenant. Enter it with Him and keep it. Then, as LORD promised us, we'd become His People, whether a person or family, community or nation. And He will be our GOD.

Scripture reference:

Deuteronomy 26:16-19 (our Covenant with GOD)

Nehemiah 9:33 (GOD's Justice)

Psalms 115:16 (who is actually responsible)

Isaiah 5:1-7 (judge betwixt Me and My Vineyard)

John 3:19 (what people do with GOD-given Freedom)

Galatians 6:7 (Harvest Law)

Some would say that "love of money" is the root of evil, others claim that the repression of sex and/or the denial of death is the root of evil. Ecclesiastes says that "God made man upright, but that men go in search of schemes." Schemes are to a great extent driven by money as a medium of exchange, a measure of value, and a store of value. Schemes devised by people can be productive, but more often than not become corrupted and brought into the service of evil.

[Jaydog1976]

Evil exists because man chose to disobey God rather than live in obedience to Him. 

Genesis 2:17 "but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die."

So instead of obeying God Adam and Eve ate the fruit that God told them not to: 

Genesis 3:6 "When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it."

Because of man's disobedience evil exists in this world until Christ comes back. Thankfully though God provided a Savior to reconcile man back to himself. Each person has a choice whether to be reconciled back to God through faith in His Son Jesus Christ.

Romans 5:1 "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,"

But evil will be here until Christ finally comes back. In the mean time man will find anything that they can get their hands into.

Ecclesiastes 7:29 "This only have I found: God created mankind upright, but they have gone in search of many schemes."

Masters may not necessarily be the right word for it as there is only one Master. Caretakers would be better.

And why does God allow evil to exist? 

The earth is the battleground for the souls of men. God allows it to exist to show God is stronger and man can make the right choice for Christ

[Igor Evgen]

Matrix,

In Genesis 1:26-31, it is written, ...have Dominion...  and ...subdue... Is it not too much for "Caretakers?" The conception of Christ also doesn't sit well with 4000 years of standing by for. Whatever.

GOD willing, I'll be back with couple articles about our Spirit Dominion.

Thanks for reading. Take care, Igor

THE CURSE exists because man chose to disobey GOD rather than live in obedience unto Him.

For what I say to one I say to all......................Their was evil present before man disobeyed GOD...............the serpent IS EVIL and he tempted the woman who then gave to the man.

Had Adam and Eve not sinned then evil would have stayed with the serpent. But that wasn't the case. Adam and Eve allowed sin to enter the world and evil became the norm. 

[Rut-Ro]

Isaiah 45 and particularly verses 7&8  

6. Why is there Evil and Suffering?
