    The truth of Scripture bears this out, but it is a difficult one for some to handle.

    When God reviewed the world He had made in 6 days He said it was good, nope wait one sec…no He didn’t, He said that it was “very good”. Don’t think He lied!

    Did God create evil or did He allow it to exist within the nature of the truths in creation, in which He foreknew that evil would exist when man freely ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil thereby being fallen in judgment? (There is only One God and only He is Good)

    (Gen 3:22) And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever:


    • The truth (God is Truth) of the nature in creation was that the tree of knowledge would exist.
    • Man was responsible by his own free will in eating of that tree.
    • God foreknew that man would eat of that tree as seen in the promise made before the foundation of the world.
    • Man still has free will.
    • Sorry…couldn’t resist! :laugh:
