Why is this not being taught in Church?

NKJV- Calamity-An event often causing great and often sudden damage or distress; a disaster.
KJV -Evil
NLT - Bad times
NIV - Disaster
ESV -Great calamity

Do these translations not have the same underlying meaning?

Are you saying that you personally have seen Elijah in heaven?
There is a huge diference between anything Evil and Disaster or Calamity. Disaster and Calamity are like a volcano erupting, or the economy tanking. Or the story of Job in your own life .

When i see Evil . It is anti God . Without God .

The Hurricane Katrina, God was all over that . It was sent. Some may deem that huricane evil , but there was no evil in it.

When you punish your children , ground them . Take away thier toys money . Privileges, even spank them. Are your intentions Evil . Of course not . So when God sends all manner of disaster on the earth, it also has no evil in it .

This is why your translation is bad . Using the word Evil to describe anything of God is wrong
 
the guess the verse is a secret

I have been searching for many verses and my eyes are tired

I'll wait till you park your bus and blow the dust off your bible .. don't ripe the pages they are probably stuck together...:rolleyes:
Sarcasm is not from the Spirit of God. It comes from the evil one . Dear Father in Heaven bless us in the name of your son Jesus, open our minds and our hearts . And protect us from all darkness. Amen

Rev 10.4
 
Evil was what the translators of the KJV did, not me.
I would also add that the tree containing the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil was placed in the Garden of Eden by God himself.

AND AGAIN I WOULD ASK WHERE DID EVIL COME FROM SINCE GOD CREATED ALL THINGS?

Do you believe that God gave job over to Satan for a positive outcome? And that in the EVIL, CALAMITY, whichever you prefer, that befell him was simply Gods wisdom to bring job into a better relationship with God?
 
Wonder what you'd say as to why you got so much special attention?
We all get special attention, all the time . Its a matter of awareness.

When the Angels were attacking the enemies troops Elijah was laughing so hard. No one else saw until Elijah asked the Lord to " open his eyes "

There are all manner of things happening all the time, but because those things are not accepted by most . They remain hidden

Evil that is anti God first came from the heart of Satan . And now the hearts of mankind as well
 
The biggest untruth espoused on this site is a TRINITY doctrine denying that Jesus is, was, and always will be the only begotten SON of God.
Agreed , Jesus the Father and the Holy Spirit always were, are, and will be
 
I thought I did a pretty good job answering almost all of your questions except one.
How can God create EVIL?
I think all we have to do is look at the world and what do we see? Perfection or Evil? If those who are not born again look in the mirror what they see is evil.
Why? Because God cursed every living human (except Jesus) from Adam until this very second with a carnal mind. He "Concluded them all in unbelief so that he might have MERCY on them ALL." Romans 11:32 So man who is separated from God in his mind and overrun by Satan and his minions are at the mercy of what God allows Satan to do, like Job. But as a whole it is God that decides what EVIL befalls every man or woman.

Lets take a look at the words krisis and gnome, both greek and both translated as judgement in the Bible. Krisis means a time of separation, a time of great trouble, a turning point. Gnome means a way of knowing. Therefore Gods judgement is a time of separation and great trouble which is a way of knowing.

Can we say that without troubles in our lives that we could ever understand what pain, confusion, suffering etc.. are? And once we experience these we avoid them and do our best to try and not cause others these troubles. A way of GROWING. Compassion??? Mercy???? Sounds like maturing to me. And all because he sent EVIL into our lives.
And don't misunderstand i am not saying evil is good but I am saying when God uses it it is for our own good.
Maybe im the one with a predisposition on evil . Ive spent most of my life in heavy spiritual warfare . My experiences are beyond the comprehension of most. I value all life, God's Love and Justice are at the center of my heart.

No doubt you will say that your faith is strong , tell me Bill what cant i comprehend.

So i will give you a snippet.

A group of Satanists were burying live children in the ground . A soul will separate from the body at a certain point . It is in that moment a possession can take place. At which point they revive the now possessed children.

The work i do in the Lord. Stopped it . They will never be able to do that again.

Btw did you know the King James Bible has been changed. My mom has a copy from 1945, you would never recognize it.
 
I would also ask you why would God allow such things to take place in the first place? And why is it necessary to have you war against it? Our enemies are INTERNAL and something has you battling EXTERNAL enemies. Something sounds kinda wrong.

God doesnt Allow people to do evil. People choose to do evil.

God knows that people will do things but he doesnt choose for them to do it

Why does God have me do this work. Because im a fool for God. What is foolish in mens eyes, is the way God works.

Is not Jesus both of the flesh annd spirit. Isnt true healing both as well. One can not heal the body without healing the soul first
 
Where did evil come from since GOD CREATED ALL THINGS?
When God created , all was perfect before Him. The Angels were like children playing .

But God gave all free will , to choose. He wanted the Angels and mankind to love Him not because of being forced but of thier own violation.

God gave all a mind of reasoning. To give choices, to choose. Lucifer and Judan both chose, and Evil was found in them .

it is a question i understand , but will not be able to answer to satisfy you.

For me it is a matter of faith
 
Your right that was a bad attempt at getting around the question in stead of answering it.

How could they CHOOSE evil if it did not exist as a choice?
 
They are not going to get it, reason, “The Creator” is to bright! !! You are showing HIS “Sovereignty” they know how to pronounce it, and to spell it, but they really don’t know what it means. Turn the light off, let them sit in darkness for awhile. “Get it”
