Understanding the origin and purpose of evil is essential in knowing the one true God. Not understanding that God created evil for a specific, good purpose allows for people to create false doctrines to justify their ignorance.
God created evil (Isaiah 45:7) plain and simple. Evil, in the hands of God, works to complete and perfect God’s universe and everyone in it. After all is perfected, God abolishes evil and therefore, it no longer exists anywhere in all of creation.
On the other hand, those that attribute evil as a creation of Satan have a problem. Evil has no ultimate purpose in God’s creation and is not suppose to be there. As a result, there must be a place to hold this evil for all eternity since it is not God’s creation and has no purpose. This is the reason religion has created the false doctrine of eternal hell. The word hell never appears in the original scriptures and the concept of a place of eternal torment is found nowhere in the bible. In fact, the opposite, God saving all mankind in proven true.
As a result, since God can’t be responsible for torturing His own creation in fire for all eternity because that is sick and sadistic, Christianity says that the human being has a free-will choice to choose either good or evil. Therefore, not only does God not create everything, but He also is no longer in control of any of His creature’s denstinies. Relgion, through not understanding God’s creation and use of evil, takes God off His throne and makes Satan and the human free-will the gods of the universe. Horrific!
1 Corinthians 15: 42-58 is a HUGE KEY
In these verses, we see that evil in the form of corruption, dishonor, and death are not something to be separated from the creation of God. How do we know this? Because evil, corruption, dishonor, and death are ALL necessary for Resurrection. Does God have a hand in the resurrection? Is He responsible for it? Of course He is! Therefore, He is also responsible for everything needed to make the resurrection possible.
How can we separate what is needed for the resurrection from the resurrection itself?
How can we say that God is responsible for resurrection, but not responsible for the things that create the NEED for resurrection?
42 Thus also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is roused in incorruption. 43 It is sown in dishonor; it is roused in glory. It is sown in infirmity; it is roused in power. 44 It is sown a soulish body; it is roused a spiritual body. 45 If there is a soulish body, there is a spiritual also. Thus it is written also, The first man, Adam, “became a living soul:” the last Adam a vivifying Spirit. -1 Corinthians 15: 42-45
You cannot reap something that you did not sow. We reap resurrection through Christ and this is of God. Again, there is no reaping without sowing. Dishonor, infirmity, and corruption are the seeds to resurrection and are a part of the creative process of resurrection. All of God.
Well, if God is responsible for the resurrection, then He is responsible for the details that make resurrection possible. These details are evil, corruption, dishonor, and death. You can’t put a roof on a house until you build the foundation. Likewise, God cannot complete resurrection without the foundation of evil and death.
The Christian, according to the view of evil, would have the seeds and the foundation of evil separated from the resurrection. But, you can’t build the resurrection without these things. So, we must concede the true nature of evil which can only serve God’s ultimate purpose.
Evil and its results are the building blocks to justification and immortality. They are the necessary process to create perfect children of God. Not understanding Evil causes one to make evil an end in itself and must corner it somewhere in the universe. The only purpose of evil’s existence to be part of the creation process not an end in itself.
This is not a dance between heaven and hell but the necessary creation process of mortality to immortality.
Christ not only saves us from death, but through death. This means that we have to experience death and the sin that comes from it. This experience of evil is not permanent but necessary in order to be made perfect.
In God’s hands, evil is a process used to create His children perfect, not a permanent condition that separates His creation from His hands.
