[QUOTE="com7fy8, post: 73908707, member: 331347"] Well, the evil is not excused. Jesus said wo to the one who betrayed him. What I see is that evil is a reality, which God does not cause > James 1:13. But God uses it for His purposes all-loving. So, it is not a means which He produces, and He does not justify evil. But He does use it; so it is a means, but unjustified in its activities but used :) There is the question that if God is almighty, how come He has not done away with all evil? Ones argue that if God really were all good and almighty, He would not allow evil to continue, and certainly not in the way it has been doing things. And for me, personally, I first see that there simply is God who is so greatly good and He is love. And the Bible says so. But, also, there is the reality of evil. And it is simply true, how God has not already done away with any and all evil. But we have such good as God. So, anyone can argue against this, but God is good, according to the Bible and my experience. I keep experiencing what the Bible says is true about God and how He shares with us His children. And I did not make this up and get myself to experience this, I would say.

And my theo-logic is that God who is good did not bring this evil spirit into existence; and if He could simply remove it from existence, He would. But it is self-existent but so inferior and love-dead, but can not be removed from existence. Even so, God does keep it in check and control, with order, so it is on its way to the flaming sewer which burns with fire and brimstone.
