The Truth about the Nature of God - Did God Created Evil?

If God did not create evil than God is not sovereign nor is he the Supreme Being or the creator of the universe. He is not the great I am that I am since evil can exist by itself. In order for us to understand the nature of God, we have to make a few declarations. These are the things which are of God, however, they are not all of God just some of him:

God is supreme and sovereign, God answers to no other being. God is almighty and not subjected to human reasoning. He said my ways are not your ways; my ways are higher than your ways. God is before everything else, meaning God was present before any other thing. He is the alpha and the omega. God is the creator of everything on earth, in heaven and under the earth. God is a god of holiness, justice, and righteousness.

If we do not put these statements out, then the subsequent explanation will become twisted yet again because people have the wrong concept of good and evil, perfect and sovereign. Trying to explain the nature of God with a build-in bias will naturally cause some confusion and misunderstanding. A mad man does not know he is mad, for he has lost the ability to reason. Similarly, a bias in our reasoning can make us blind to the truth.

Using a singular verse like Isaiah 45:7 is not sufficient to explain that God created evil, since there are many word teachers who are experts at changing the meaning in Hebrew, Greek, and who knows what language. They all made us think that the English version bible is not good enough to learn of God. This is simply not true at all, they forgot that we have the Holy Spirit to show us the truth since the Holy Spirit is a Spirit of Truth.

Isaiah 45:7 (King James Version)

7I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

I quote from another writer, L.Ray Smith, and he said, “Satan does play a role in the salvation of the human race. Satan is just one more “evil” that God uses in bringing many sons into glory. The very reason that the above heading might turn some heads is not because it isn’t true or completely Scriptural, but rather because the world has been deceived about most of these spiritual things. God “created evil” (Isaiah 45:7). God does not create things that do not serve a good purpose. By the way, the word translated into “evil” in Isaiah 45:7 is the Hebrew word ra, and it is the very same word translated hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of times as “evil” throughout the Old Testament.”

I present another verse in the bible (Colossians 1:16) which says that God created everything, things visible and invisible. God made everything, and nothing was made without him making them. God made everything that can be seen with the ***** eye and everything which can not be seen with the ***** eye as well.

Now what are the things which are classified as invisible?

They are lust, jealousy, anger, wrath, fear, vengeance, greed, hatred, evil, idolatry, rebellion, stubbornness, arrogance, pride, and others. These are things which can not be seen. And these are all created by God who made all things. Invisible things mean things which are intangible and can not be visibly seen yet real. Electricity is invisible, it can not be seen with the eye, yet it is real. Wind is invisible to the eye yet it is real, we see its effect. Similarly, evil is intangible, yet we see its effect. Evil is not the absence of good. If I put good in a room and sealed it in a vacuum, and then later I took good out of the vacuum, you mean evil will manifest itself in the vacuum. I don’t think so. Evil is the absence of good is not a very correct statement though it seems reasonable, it is not. We must not play with words and go into a tangent thereby tricking ourselves to the warped logic of a bias mind trying to find some form of strange logic to explain the answer which we want.

Colossians 1:15-18 (New International Version)

The Supremacy of Christ

15He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. 17He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

Again in the book of John, it is stated that God made everything and nothing could have existed without God making them,

John 1:1-4 (King James Version)

1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  2The same was in the beginning with God.  3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.  4In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

When the bible says all things, it means all things, I am sure no Hebrew or Greek or any other language can explain that away. This is truly a statement that has no ambiguity, and thank God that it is so. Then what is the meaning of thing, thing means thing, anything not just physical things but also invisible things. Since Colossians 1:16 defines things as invisible and visible. Evil is invisible to the eye except we can observe its manifested actions and consequences, because evil creates pain, sadness and grieve for the ones who encounter it.

What is Evil then?

Evil is the law that accuses the brethren of sin. Evil is the law prosecutor that puts the person who has sin under the ******* of punishment. Anyone who lives by Galatians 5:22-23 has no punishment since against such things there is no law. Evil is of the devil, it’s the characteristics of the devil. In Galatians 5:23, the verse “no law” means no evil can persecute such a man who walks in love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, humility and self control. Evil represents the justice of Law because it accuses the sinner of the crime he committed. Satan or the devil is the accuser of the brethren because Satan is well verse in scripture. In the desert trial of Jesus, Satan uses scripture to test Jesus and to try to get him to sin against God.

Galatians 5:22-23 (King James Version)

22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,  23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Anything that works under a law system will expect that violation will bring punishment. So anyone who has the fruit of the Spirit does not have any law against them and therefore no evil will befall them. Jesus was such a man when the walked the earth, he declared that Satan has nothing against him.

Genesis 2:9 (King James Version)

9And 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.

Yet again, we see that God created the tree of life and also the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. So if God said that when you eat the tree of knowledge you will know good and evil, then evil has to exist else God will be a liar. Therefore, is there anymore proof that needs to be given that Yes, God created evil? I think not; unless all this theologians still want to insist that a good God do not create evil because of their definition that good means no evil. However, this kind of thinking is flawed. We can not escape the fact that God made it very clear that he created evil. Evil is the punishment which God has created against men who sin. Evil is the justice accorded to people who sin, and to those who do not sin, evil is good since it punishes those who sin. But sadly, all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God so evil did punish us all, and only the atonement of Jesus Christ saved us from eternal damnation.

Similarly, when a father disciplines and punishes his son for being a rascal, is this act of chastisement good or evil? It’s good for the father since he disciplines his son, but it is evil to the son who receives the lashes since it pains him. So where is evil not a good thing, evil is good from a different perspective. Therefore, to God evil is good and it’s his tool to punish and chastise everyone who violates the word of God.

When God created the world in 6 days and rested on the seventh, he did say it was good. What is good for God may not be necessarily good for us. Did God created hell? Yes, we all know he did, if so is that good for us. No, it’s good if you are saved by believing in Jesus, certainly not good if you are not a believer. But to God he says it is good. Good for whom, good for God. So are we being the pot trying now very hard to tell the potter what are you doing? Can we question God what is it he is doing? Can we then say as well that evil is not good?

Evil is good for God because it punishes the sinner who violates the word of God. Evil can not punish anyone who does not sin. Evil is a servant of God, many will not agree to this statement because they think that evil can do anything it wants without the approval of God, then they should read the book of Job. Evil is subjugated to God because evil was created by God. If God did not create evil then it means that evil created itself out of no other creator God but itself. Then we may not know who will win the final war when evil fights against God and Jesus, because we do not know how strong evil is since we have not seen this war yet. But of course we know God wins in the end, the bible says so.

Proverbs 26:2 (New International Version)

2 Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved curse does not come to rest.

Romans 8:28 (New International Version)

More than Conquerors

28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Here again, all things which means invisible and visible things work for the good of those who love him and not good for those who **** him. All things mean all things and we can not change this statement again. Evil is good in the sight of God since it punishes those who sin against God. God is a god of justice and he is also a god of decent order. And so he has to provide justice for those who can not defend themselves from aggressors. When I made this discovery that evil was created by God, I finally began to see and understand all the proper connections in the bible stories and know what God is all about. For those who insists that evil is not created by God will have a long time of trouble to understand the nature of God and his purpose, if they persist in this error they may forever be unable to understand who God is truly.

Can God lie, since many believe lying is evil or wrong?

God can not lie, yet God works with a lying spirit to lie to the king whom he decreed disaster. So is this lying spirit good or bad or did it serve a function for God. God used a lying spirit to lie to a king and to send him into a battlefield to be killed. Is this good or evil? But this king in the sight of God is evil indeed. Read the book of second Chronicles.

2 Chronicles 18:20-23 (New International Version)

20 Finally, a spirit came forward, stood before the LORD and said, ‘I will entice him.’

” ‘By what means?’ the LORD asked.

21 ” ‘I will go and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets,’ he said.

” ‘You will succeed in enticing him,’ said the LORD. ‘Go and do it.’

22 “So now the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouths of these prophets of yours. The LORD has decreed disaster for you.”

So in this case, would you say the Lord permitted or approved of this act? What’s the difference between permit and approved, permit means not agreeing strongly but allowed it, while approve means allowing something with strong conviction. The Lord says let your Yes be Yes and your No be No, so how can God permit and yet not allowed or even approved. This is utter nonsense, approved, allowed and permit they are all the same, God said Yes do it.

Christians tried very hard using strange words to explain away that God is not fatalistic in nature and is always kind and gentle, no God is not so, he is a just God and will not hesitate to exercise judgment on anything or anyone. God is a decisive God who does not waver between two decisions, God is able to make hard decision unlike man. I tell you this because I have received his chastisement and it was not kind or gentle; it was deep pain. Yet, God was just in his dealings with me. This is not theology, it’s an encounter with the real God who disciplines those he calls son. The chastisement to me was not good, in fact I call that evil but I know I deserved that, since it was a prophecy I should not have given but I did out of my own presumption and not considering the consequences of the statement made, and God had to punish me for that.

Unless you come to that place and get to know God, you will never walk in intimacy with him because all your knowledge of him is but theology, doctrine, concept, imaginary hypothesis, philosophy and man-made traditions which are not worth a dime compared to the real knowledge of him. So if you want to know more about the deeper things of God; visit my website at www.kingscepter.com or send me an email at prophet3333@yahoo.com with your questions and I will be glad to explain these things to you. Let the truth set you free to go into deeper understanding of God.

Stacey T Pollock asked:


Creation is one topic that has been well studied for many centuries. Not just one viewpoint on creation has been devised but so many that it would take pages to outline their individual approaches. Looking back into history in the times where gods were formed in the stars, to present day theories of god creating life through spiritual ideology and also to extend to a more physical approach of life being created materially through an evolutionary approach, from cells to formation of all life on earth from one core form. Each theory has its own viewpoint and approach that looks at life to suit its own goals and objectives.

When we look at creation there is one thing that is undeniable and that is that we really do not have it wrapped up around our little finger, on how to pinpoint an exact time and place when creation was formed. We follow belief structures with full understanding that we are but the creation and not the all knowing of why it exists.

Each theory has its own logical approach, looking at creation from its own creative and subjective methodology, with the essence of each theory focusing on the human body and how the earth is formed. Some theories also extend to the mind and seek truth in romantic and poetic stories that relate to love, light and just generally being happy and content with the overall position that we are all placed within. Except for a lot of scientific approaches each organized creation theory stems mostly from a story form approach, each showing a line of creation that is formed by an ideal of the human mind.

I suppose the real question to ask when viewing all the individual approaches of creation: what was the original intention of this viewpoint? Whether that be to acknowledge that there is an omnipresent being that created us from a place far more divine than anything that we could even comprehend, or that we are merely formed but of matter that changes as the years go by. Each method of viewing creation definitely has its own beauty and individual creative approach, none without a fault in trying to find the reason for existence.

All theories stand on their own podium of strong opinion and purpose, not one with limit to reach a desire to understand and justify its approach. The only downfall that could be noted is when each theory comes into contact with one another. It is then that the podiums start to crumble. Instead of finding undeniable links between each approach, we choose to debate each limited ideal until the end of time, even after we find that such passion can lead to fighting and viewing creation from the opposite viewpoint to which we seek. How can such things be overcome? Will we ever find an agreeable approach that does not have to hinge on an individuals creative potential.

One thing that is seen when viewing many of the approaches of finding reason in creation is that our focus is as time goes by limiting itself to ideals of human social acceptance. Many things are forced to the wayside if they do not fit into a group acceptance instead of being seen subjectively and in its own beauty and form. Rules and guidelines are setup so stringent that the makers also feel themselves forced into a cage of redemption, leading to their own individual undoing. They wish to hold to their beliefs so strong without questioning their original purpose, but only to enforce without first contemplation and solution. Their ideal becomes then their purpose and when they are under attack they seize up and protect themselves with shields of rigid viewpoint to push away new concepts and approaches.

Sometimes also these new concepts and approaches have also their own basis of crumbling podiums. They too are looking for ways to build themselves up to achieve understanding, and a strong undeniable truth, that they hope will be still standing at the end of the day after all the work that has have done to try and convince others of their purpose.

What if creation itself was not in the individuals desire to create purpose for themselves? We all seek answers that we hope is the only truth standing from viewing each individual standpoint. The only other thing that we can really know to be truth is also that we will inevitably die one day out of the body to which we are formed. These two truths are all that we have to hold us up. They are our right and left foot, the only thing that we can be certain of. We all seek answers at some point in our life, but what are we really asking for?

One thing is for sure, individually we are not really seeking an answer for why creation is formed, but really an answer to what is our purpose as humans. We want to know what we are to be doing and what we are to be achieving. Every person has the desire within them to want to know why they should even exist in the first place, but not to only acknowledge the beauty of the creation itself but to know why we endure all that we experience. What if creation had no real foundational purpose, would we then want to know the truth?

The foundational elements of creation really would not in all essence have the same goals as the creation itself. These elements have a place outside the human physical world. They are not the creation but the creator. When people base ideas on creation they know that the foundation elements are this ‘creator’ and draw in on human ideals in order to form their formational model. It makes perfect sense to see creation this way. Seeing as we as humans only know so far the basis of this world alone and what we see with our eyes around us. The only thing that could be seen as lacking is that we cannot see beyond such limited concepts. We base all on our own self focus and think that we are but the center of all, but is this so?

If we were to draw on all creation theory and look at creation for its foundation rather than its purpose how would it then be viewed? It would for sure have a basis far outside this singular limited world that we now know and isolate ourselves within. Would creation not be far reaching beyond even human reasoning and incorporate all possibility?

One thing is for sure, the elements that created us, are not us, but the foundational embodiments to which we are made from. It would be very logical to see creation in such a way. Such a viewpoint would never change in its approach, because the ‘created’ is always a product from the ‘creator’. This would have to be a simple foundation fact. If this were to be so then how would we ascertain what this creator is and how creation is formed?

If we take a known example from our world of an event that takes place, we know for sure with our logical minds that the effect follows after a causal event. When certain things happen within our world we understand then that it makes a change in the environment around us. It is thus then from the effect that the cause can be understood. Would we not then know the creator from understanding the components of the created? If we can ascertain what takes place then it is only logic to see that we can ascertain also why it takes place. There is always a reason, if there is an event taking place. This is another undeniable fact and one that will never change.

That would then reason that creation can be known, we are the effect from a cause, and we can learn why it all happened, whether or not it makes reason to why we exist. It is all just in understanding the practical nature of creation, to seeing that it is far more than just a story being told. It is even far more than a rule that makes us conform within society. It is far more than even popularity. There is a core truth, that when it is found, it will hold tall and be understood by all in its core essence no matter how it is creatively relayed to others. In the core essence all belief has a foundation. When this core essence is known then nothing is right or wrong and all belief can be utilized to its full creative potential.
