K we know evil begat from Satan right but, he knows everything even our most secret thoughts. Every heard calm waters dont make skillful sailors, that he tests us to see how much faith we have in him. He gave us freddom of choice or else we will of been puppets. He gave us choice and we abused it at times, you be judge not by how much you know....

But if god create evil and is omniscient isn't he indirectly responsable for this problems?
Supposing that he exists, anyway.
Another question, do you believe in the original sin, and that ALL born are born sinners and condemned to hell?
(Warning : I am an atheist and altough I respect your beliefs I am addicted to discussions with believers)

This is what Goethe's Faust is all about! It is God who sends the Devil to tempt Faust. Faust sells his soul, but God rescues him in the end. The theme is really old and can also be found in The Book of Job in The Old Testament.
See ya!

Have you ever heard a coin with one face or a rose without a throne?? if god creates only good ones how people get to know about all ups and downs of life? how do they have idea to tackle each and every situations. bad things also have good messagew on its own. when some one comit bad thing then you will learn something good isn;t it.

Hey, I don't think it is God who created evil. Those who created God are the ones who created evil. And I guess you know what I mean. Both God and evil are created by us people, and these two concepts are just the manifestations of our psychic selves.

God did not create evil, WE did. When we disobey Him and sin...that is evil. God gave us free will. Some people choose to go their own way, without God.

If there was no Evil in the world, how would we know what was good. How would we appreciate what was Good.

the story behind this evil thing is this. in God's time there were so many querubins (angels). but 1 of the angels defied God's commandement. he was jealous why they always follow God's teachings. the angel got jealous & made his own kingdom. so God sent this angel down. the angel was so happy that he created his own kingdom called hell. God did not create evil. at present evil or bed elements, undesirable things & events happen are visible to test our faith. who would you ask for help? God or evil? to whom would you pray? God or evil? we should not blame God for having an evil present in our life. just have a strong faith in Him & you will be saved.

God is omnipotent, but however, everything needs to be equilibrated, if you put in a glass some tea, it will feel bad because it has no sugar, but if instead of the tea you have only sugar, that will taste very sweet.... Both things must be present. The same happens in reality, and the evil rebelled from God, like Adan and Eve... But we still have the chance to reject the evil and transmute it with the good and compassion... These days the world is every time more evil... We must act.
