Zone1 In Isaiah God admits He "does evil" as some versions of the Bible put it

[Woodznutz]

The Bible teaches that when man turns away from God, calamity happens. It’s the first lesson in the Bible (Adam and Eve), yet so many still make the same mistake.

True. The word 'evil' is more accurately translated calamity when referring to God's acts of punishment.

 

[Woodznutz]

That is so sad.

Yeh, sometimes u can't help but wonder

God... WHY all the misery and pain in the world?

Most of it is self-inflicted.

 

[forkintheroad7]

Most of it is self-inflicted.

most of my own misery is inflicted by others (humans)

I do my best to ignore them

 

[Woodznutz]

most of my own misery is inflicted by others (humans)

I do my best to ignore them

I've had to place several here on ignore.

 

[onefour1]

God brings evil by allowing mankind to have free will and be tempted by the devil. God also brings forgiveness of sin by suffering for the sins of all mankind and dying an excruciating death so that we can learn to overcome evil of our own free will.
