Evil was Created by God

I've been thinking about this ever since. Want a safe world, no crime, no conflict, no bloodshed, a just leader, no one who does evil. All that can be achieved when humans are not instigated by satan. Unfortunately, God created Satan, God knows that Satan will spread evil on earth. So all the evil that we see in this world is God's plan. Why did God do this? Wasn't God able to create a world without evil?

Let's try this again. God created angels, one of whom was Lucifer one of the archangels around God's throne. Lucifer rebelled against God along with a third of the angels and God kicked him out of heaven. God knew what Lucifer would do in bringing sin into the world. Sin was never God's plan. It still isn't. However, He did something about it. He sent His Son, Jesus, to be your Savior and redeem you from Satan so you can live with Him in heaven instead of Hell with Satan.

God created Lucifer? it means God has failed in creating, God has failed in making plans. If God is almighty over Lucifer, why doesn't God kill Lucifer and create complete peace on earth?

@Faster16 God gave man free will to decide for himself to be good or evil. It was not his plan.

@jstory07 God prepared heaven and hell. means that God already knows there will be evil on earth. why didn't god prevent it?

Humans create a lot of their own evil---God nor Satan can't/don't/won't take all the blame!

God created man, but He gave man a free will. Man sinned, and seperated himself from God. That is why God sent His Son to die for our sin, so that we can have a relationship with Him again, but still, He gives us the choice to choose Him or not.

Evil does walk this earth and man chooses it. If I were to know the reasoning of God, I would not be a human.

Evil like good was created by man and there will always be evil and good because God gave us free will.

We have to work out how free will works, I expect, to understand how evil exists too. How is free will related to evil, and why does God keep allowing evil to exist, or to even just allow it to be a possibility for evil to even come into existence too? Evil is simply live backwards. When you live your life for yourself only, it is evil, but when you live it out of love for God, it is good. You have the free will power to turn life into evil, and so to live an evil life, or to choose one of love instead, and live from love, in living your life, instead of living your life from evil, or living it back to front, when to live, then becomes evil.

@Faster16 Yes, God gives us the free will choice to live just for ourselves, selfishly so, or to live a life of service for him, out of our love for him, but he never forces our decision onto us. Evil, then, is a label, that we pin onto ourselves, from the life that we are living. We choose what type of life we want to live, either we choose ourselves only, or we choose God. One is a life where evil raises its ugly head, because we are cut off from God, by our own decision, so to speak, and the other is a life of love, being lived for God, because we have freely chosen to give our lives back to God, in our living it for him. Evil then is about the way we live. Turn evil around, and live love, and if everyone did this, there would be no evil, only living love would exist.
