[QUOTE="Ivan Hlavanda, post: 76554495, member: 427006"] Are you sure about that? Just because God allows evil, it does not mean He is responsible for it. God is indeed in control of evil and demons. 1 Samuel 16:14 “But the spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.” God, in His sovereignty, allowed an evil spirit to torment Saul ( for His purpose of establishing the throne of David. God sent the evil spirit, as punishment for Saul’s rebellion. The Lord does not do evil, but evil spirits are subject to His control and can operate only within the boundaries He sets. 1 Kings 22:22 “And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade [him], and prevail also: go forth, and do so.” God does allow evil to us to happen, sometimes in order to punish us, sometimes in order to discipline so we repent and turn back to God. Sometimes it is so He reveals His glory like when He hardened pharaoh in Exodus. Why? Because He chose to reveal 10 miracles, so His people would believe, and He chose this as a punishment of Egypt. God can do whatever He wants and whatever He allows it is to His glory. God was absolutely in control when satan rebelled and deceived us and we fell. We did God allow it all, knowing it would happen? So He can reveal His mercy and forgiveness and that the Son glorifies the Father on the cross. Does that make us any less responsible and guilty? Absolutely not. Was God in control? Absolutely yes. God is an active God, He dwells upon His word, and is active, so that His perfect will is fulfilled. [/QUOTE]
