If God is good, and only good,
where did evil come from? Did God create evil?
Many times we can get caught on
the question of evil and how it surrounds us and affects us constantly. I don’t
think we understand how good God really is because we’ve become accustomed to
so much evil – (get excited for day 10 when we talk about these things you think
are normal. You’ll be surprised!) So did God create evil?
With the help/copying of some
online resources, I propose that evil is the absence of good. It’s the same way
that a hole in the ground is nothing. A hole in the ground is the absence of
dirt. If you’re hunger is nothing, hunger is the absence of food. In the way
that God created us, the angels, and all living things to daily dine on His
goodness – we were never meant to be hungry, have holes, or know evil. We were
made to be full and daily eating goodness with extra taste buds to enjoy it
all.
