DID GOD CREAT BOTH THE GOOD AND THE EVIL?
Some persons believe since God is the author of the universe and every single thing in it certainly he most have created the bad alongside the good things he created. After all if he had not created bad Lucifer would not have made use of if. They ask hoe did Lucifer conceive evil in his heat at the first place if it was not created within him.
The bible made us to know that after god has created the earth and the universe he says it was good he did not say they were fairly good and fairly bad. But what actually happened was that after God created everything good, he warned his creation both angels and humans alike not to make an opposite of what he created of which we are capable of doing. Acting contrary to the plans and will of God is an evil on his own not created by God but by an individual. The killings war and hatred happening in the world today is an opposite of the life peace and love created by God.
But some are quick to argue that the bible made mentioned of the killings, war and hatred as a thing that will happen to mankind hence he destined man to encounter those disasters. Of course God in the past has said that these unfortunate outcomes will come to pas in human history, but that those not mean he was the one who predestined it that way. A father can notice that his child steals money when and wherever he sees money, then he will call that child to caution saying if you continue like this you will turn out to be a robber, and that certainly is true. That those not mean that the father has predestined that child to be a robber, it was only his altitud3 that was calculated that will lead him to be a robber in the future.
The same thing happened in the bible when God said that in the later day's brother shall fight against brother and nations shall come up against nations. That those not mean he predestined it, he only foresees it.
Some persons also believe that God has destined some people to be very influential while other were made to be poor, but lets look at how true is this. the bible made us to know that in Jeremiah he said I know the thought I have for you, and the bible did not stop there he went further to say that they are the thought of good and not of evil. God predestined man good but it is only a matter of choice for a man to follow up or not.
Some persons look at themselves today and think that they are very unfortunate, and conclude they have no destiny.
No body was actually made without a destiny,
