God is not evil.


Because of these verses in the King James Bible, people say," I could never serve a God that is evil".

Very few people are aware of this fact, and that is, that the King James Bible was translated by a secret society for their use; as a matter of fact it is also called the "Masonic bible".

Interpreting certain scriptures as God doing evil supports the Masonic philosophy of Dualism, that God is both good and evil.

Here in Jeremiah 8:8 is a prophecy; and it states that the word of God would be tampered with.

K.J.V. Jeremiah 8:8. How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.

N.I.V. Jeremiah 8:8. "How can you say, "We are wise, for we have the law of the Lord," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?

The word of God is divinely inspired, and as Christians it is your responsibility to see to it that you’re being taught the truth; yes, you, and not somebody else.



Psalms 5:4-5. For you are not a God that has pleasure in wickedness: neither will evil dwell with you.
5. The foolish will not stand in your sight: you hatest all workers of iniquity.

Job 34:10. Therefore hearken to me you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.

Psalms 5:4-5 and Job 34:10 both show God doing evil is a contradiction to what is written.




Here is a list of scriptures below that are not translated correctly to support the Masonic belief of Dualism.

Exodus 5:22. And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said, Lord, wherefore hast thou so evil entreated this people? why is it that thou hast sent me?

Exodus 32:12.Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from your fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against your people.

Joshua 23:15.Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come upon you, which the Lord your God promised you; so shall the Lord bring upon you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the Lord your God hath given you.

Judges 9:23. Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech:

1 Samuel 6:9. And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to Beth-shemesh, then he has done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that smote us; it was a chance that happened to us.

1 Samuel 16:14-23. But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him.
15. And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.
16. Let our Lord now command your servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.
17. And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.

29. Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.

To all: Evil is the opposite of good. They are precepts made concepts by God. Life, such as we know it, is only temporary in this world. In the New World to come we will not be confronted with the problems we have today. This world presents problems that add to our character, for good or evil. By this God can judge us by who we become. This world is a test of character.

calamity...

True, but it's said several times that God controls absolutely everything that happens, plus verses like "Shall there be evil (or I guess calamity" in a city and the Lord have not done it?" "Calamity" may not be "moral evil", but it's still bad things happening, and if someone willfully causes calamities to happen than it could indeed be said to be evil.

God absolutely controls everything and does many bad things to deserving sinners.

what of it?

God has a right to punishing wrong doers.

Just punishment is not bad thing.

Would you call having the Israelites massacre everyone including babies "just punishment", and call those babies "deserving sinners"? If it were people who murdered and the like I might understand, but we can't say that children and babies were irredeemable sinners who deserved to be brutally slaughtered.

yes,

So then what do you say to people who have their babies die? Do you tell them their babies are frying in hell? Do you claim that God who's supposedly love would do that? Do you claim that if God commanded you to kill a baby like the Israelites did (like if you were in that time period, not just modern times) you would?

i'd tell the parents that God has as much sovereignty and power to save or condemn the unborn child as he does to save or condemn a 40 year old man and that he will have mercy on who he will have mercy and compassion on who he will have compassion(romans 9:14-15).

being that God does not order anyone to kill for him any longer as the wicked already have their punishment laid out with eternal hell, I don't see how your question is relevant. that simply doesn't happen anymore in that we're told to love our enemies.

And there are people who God won't have mercy on then—how can we call God loving if he sends people to hell who didn't do anything wrong except exist?


True, but we can't deny that there was a time where God did command such things like killing and taking virgins for the Israelites to have for themselves.

i'd say eternally suffering in hell is far worse than any of that.

Exactly, so how can we call God loving if he sends people to hell to be tortured for eternity, let alone sending them there just for existing?
