Thread: Evil

Numerous texts flatly declare that God is not, and could not be, the author of evil. Look at Deuteronomy 32:4 "...His works are perfect, and all His ways are just. He is a faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is He. Psalm 5:4 says, "You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil." If you read the Bible in the context and harmony of the full counsel of God, the Scriptural setting would imply that God is without evil or any pretense of evil. Using natural human logic and reasoning to come to ones own conclusion to your question Nikos is to invade the realms of divine mystery.

What we can be sure of, however, is the fact that God is never, ever, the originator and author of evil. It would be contrary to His whole nature and being as consistently revealed in Scripture.

Cardinal TT said: Want to see as many saved as possible and then get out of here but since I don't believe in a pre-trib rapture the ride is going to get bumpy.

Agreed! There will be many saved as the last days progress. The pre-trib crowd calls them the "Tribulation Saints," which is total nonsense. Yes, it indeed will get bumpy, especially for those who are "left behind," or I should say, when they realize they didn't escape ''great tribulation." Hang on, because its going to be a wild ride.
