Can God do evil?

[planet2146]

Oh are you not a follower of the Word?

I can quote many passages in the bible that point to god's evilness and wickedness. The devil? Whatever.

This is the perfect thread for you to quote those passages. Please go right ahead.

But please make sure to stay around for a discussion on your accusations of God. Talk Jesus is a discussion forum, not a message board.

I don't believe in the "devil"

The Bible says "God is love". There is no evil in agape, God's love.

Let me ask you a question, what's the point of coming on this forum if the "word" is all scripted? Is it a contest who can recite scripture? Is anyone actually sharing their experiences with god? I don't see much other than god is great.

Like i wrote even a parrot can repeat..idk why people come on this forum some come to sharpen some come because they follow the traditions of man in teaching some come perhaps to troll..
Me personally came here to see if any True brothers n sisters are on this forum..
Why did you come on? To bash what you dont understand? Or to be sharpened? Or perhaps you like many others think that grown adults need to be read to and then taught what they are being read..the absurdity in mans traditional ways is mind blowing to me frfr..

If you could say how you came about that determination of there being a god much less one god, and that it has emotion towards its creations much less to be worshiped I'd be interested to know.

With the Love in Christ Jesus.

God came knocking on my door several years ago and said, I never liked you from the day you were born and since you didn't like how my church smelled or took my sermons serious, I'm a little late but here I am. Remember how you wanted this and you wanted that and could not get it, that was me and whatever you worked your a** of for, I made...

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

Yeah. I have some "go-to" responses like... God created Lucifer, but Lucifer decided to disobey (and a third of the host of heaven). Then God made another place for such creatures who insist on sinning in spite of eternal Life. Hmn. I will ask a question as a separate post.

May Jesus fill us with his love and wisdom

I get amazed when I think about it. Especially with Lucifer who already knew how bad it would be to basically say no to God.

And they still chose to do it anyways.

Bill, I don't believe its like that. Three things to consider.

1. Rebellion is not a yes or no to a request from God. It is a nature choice. It's choosing your pride and will consistently without repentance or apology. Pure selfishness every time. It's not a single mistaken choice like choosing to eat forbidden fruit knowing the consequences. The devil has been sinning since the beginning 1 John 3:8. At a point God got tired of it and cast him out. His sin must have become "full measure".

2. All angels and humans that can interact with God know, judge, and see His goodness, His impartiality, and His righteousness in all He does. The worst that can come upon them is nothing close to what an evil person would do. God is literally righteous in all His ways (Psalm 145:17). This includes eternal hell. We assume eternal hell / punishment of the devil is pure wickedness, but it's not, and it will not be a place a good person disapproves of.

3. The devil and "devils" do tremble and fear God, but not because they see wickedness in Him, as many insinuate hell to be. Rather, because they know He can truly annihilate them. Wipe His canvas clean.

IE In a nutshell 'punishment will suck, but because it is delivered righteously, punishment alone will never be sufficient to stop the evil from being evil'.
