The first thing you need to do is clarify your question.
We have 2 questions that are being confused.
1. How exactly did evil COME INTO BEING.
2. Why does God allow evil and suffering to CONTINUE TO OCCUR.
This are entirely different questions.
This thread started by asking the 2nd question, and now you're jumping to the first question.
Please pick one question at a time,
and then we can give you clear answers to a clear question.
If you don't feel like clarifying your question, and picking one at a time so it can be clearly addressed, then no one has any obligation, or even any ability, to answer you.
Hi Maxwell,
I'm just trying to point out that there is no answer to either question no. 1 or question no. 2 but I'm not being very successful at it.
The biggest problem Christianity has is why evil exists: Where is comes from, and why God allows it to continue.
The fact is that there is no answer.
No one will come up with the answer because there is none.
Some believe that God created evil (or satan, same thing).
How could this be if God is all-good?
Why would He create something evil or something imperfect?
Man creates imperfection because man is imperfect.
God is perfect, so did He purposefully create imperfection?
Back to the same problem...so is He not all-good?
See. This is my only point.
I'm not really asking a question to which I know there's no answer.
