What did God create ?

[Apple Sky]

We all know that God created all things bright and beautiful but what about the thing that arn't so good such as the;

Wasps, snakes, scorpions, thorns, poisonous apple trees & plants and last of all Satan.

King James Bible
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

The deadly Manchineel apple tree;
Known as the most dangerous tree in the world, the manchineel tree is found along the sandy beaches and mangroves in tropical climates;

Well for the Isaiah 45:7 that could be understood as God brings trouble. The people of earth will get a good dose of this during the seven year tribulation. When God causes all hell to break lose on these people who curse God. To these people receiving God's wrath it will be evil to them.

Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the bowls of the wrath of God on the earth.”

For me, i just accept that God is the creator of all living things on earth. The earth is a living thing too...

Before the fall .... everything God created was in perfect harmony. God indeed did create everything ... originally as perfect.

God can not sin (transgression of the law), and there is no evil in him.

God created everything but evil did not exist until sin (transgression of the law) entered into the world .... God created his intelligent beings with freedom of choice .... mankind chose to sin ... God allowed it (and still does) allow people to make choices.

God created the angels and mankind .... and yes ... with the possibility of sin foiling His creations ... He knew what mankinds choices would be and therefore the plan of salvation was in place before creation of mankind and planet earth.

Having a relationship with the Lord has always been a choice and will continue to be until Jesus returns. Love can not be forced ... else it's not love.

God is responsible for evil to the extent that He set up the conditions of cause and effect.

To choose sin, which God did not create, always leads to evil; that is, to that which is unpleasant, objectionable, and malignant, which law of cause and effect God did create. In that sense, it can be said, God creates evil, but only in that sense.

I agree, in other words God's going to kick some backsides (I'm being polite here)

I've always wondered if it were Satan /Azazel one of the leaders of the 200 hundred fallen angels, who created the bad stuff just before the deluge.

During the late Second Temple period (after the closure of the Hebrew Bible canon), Azazel came to be viewed as a fallen angel responsible for introducing humans to forbidden knowledge.

I had to look up "Azazel" as I didn't find it in my bible. Apparently, it's the Hebrew word translated "scapegoat" in Leviticus 16: 8, 10 & 26. No indication in the bible that the scapegoat was a fallen angel or another name for Satan.

It is written in the book of Enoch.

"The book of Enoch" sounds like the name of a bible book, but it isn't in the bible. That's why I couldn't find it.

The book of Enoch should have been in the Bible but because it revealed to much they took it out.

" These books (including the Book of Enoch) were written before the time of the New Testament, but were not accepted as inspired by the Jewish or Christian communities." ---Nelsons Illustrated Encyclopedia of Bible Facts.

So who are "They" who "took it out"? It was never in!

These books were mostly left out by churches for multiple reasons. Many early Christians rejected the following books I'll provide because they were often considered heretical and didn't fully align with the canon books, the 66 books that piece together the modern Bible.

But honestly I think there's more to this than we are told.
