Did God Create Evil?

[MishaMarie]

Disclaimer: I know nothing.

So here is my thoughts. What is more of a gift, compulsive worship or choosing to worship? With choice, there are distinct differences relative to each other? So, to really choose love, there would have to be a lack thereof. To choose good, it would need to have an opposite. Basically, choice shows an affiliation with one end of two or more opposing forces. For there to be free will, there must be compulsion.

Choosing to love/obedience/worship vs. ordered to ... which is the greatest gift?

What I meant in my post is that one cannot exist without another. If goodness does not exist how you can define evil? And if evil does not exist how you can explain goodness?

Goodness and evil only present because they are both exist, if one is missing the other will vanish too, because definition of one based and rely on the definition of another.

The proof that both exist in our nature and can be both at work in us are written below, which is one of many places in N.T which explains such situation. We must have both, and we often use both according to our desires.

Luke 11.13

13."If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!” (Matthew 7.11) (Luke 11.13)
