Zone1 Why is evil allowed in the world?

[BULLDOG]

Lots of commonly accepted reasons why God created man. Some of those reasons are to reflect his image, rule over his creation, and produce godly offspring. Another reason would be to train others in the ways or righteousness. The main reason, however, is to know him and love him and to have fellowship with him. God wanted man to have perfect fellowship with him in a perfect world. None of those reasons require evil to exist. Certainly, God knew the suffering and damage that would be caused by evil in this world. Obviously, a Loving forgiving God could find a way to discipline those who misbehave short of subjecting them to evil. It's what parents do every day. Can you show any scripture supported reason why God was forced to allow evil into what was supposed to be a perfect world or was someone else powerful enough to make an all-powerful God abandon his plan and introduce evil into the world.

Perhaps because God has evil.

You have the devil and you have God, both seem to be god like, but there's only one God. So the devil is probably a part of God.

Look at the Noah's Ark story. God got angry and killed all but 8 people. That's pretty evil, in my book

Yep. God can be a dick sometimes.

Evil only exists because you allow it.

That's a pretty big dick, probably the biggest there's been.

Didn't know I was that powerful. Who did it before I was born? Who will take over after I'm gone?

You never saw me when I was in college. It was amazing.

As opposed to your insinuation that it’s all God’s fault? God doesn’t command us to sin.

Lies caused the first sin, lies are the root of them all.

How many did you kill? 99.99% of the world's population?

Perhaps this world is hell. That's what a spirit entity told John Huntington, a paranormal researcher:

Why did God create Leftists?

Dunno, but I'm pissed out of my mind about it.

Don't know. Why are you still breathing?

The world wonders.

Why does God allow such evil?

 

[westwall]

Why does God allow such evil?

I'm not religious so I can't answer that one.

 

[Votto]

I'm not religious so I can't answer that one.

Those that are ask the same question as those that are not.

But I reckon that is why God created hell, they have to be sent somewhere as this won't go on forever.

So, a loving and forgiving God's response to misbehaving is to subject his children to pure evil that will bring untold grief and pain forevermore. A spanking was the worst punishment I ever got from my mother.

 

[BULLDOG]

No, but when you mentioned big dick it triggered memories. I'll try to keep up.

 

[BULLDOG]

Seems our most religious posters can't answer the question.

 

[BULLDOG]

Considering my behavior in my 20s that question has crossed my mind too. This op is about why God allows evil in the world.

Well you’ll someday have the opportunity to ask God himself. I’m sure blaming him for your failures and sins will go over real well.
