This is probably the best answer I've ever heard to the question, "Why did God create evil?"....👇👇🙏🏻
Why did God create evil? The answer struck me to the core of my soul! A professor at the university asked his students the following question:
- Everything that exists was created by God? One student bravely answered:
- Yes, created by God.
- Did God create everything? - a professor asked. “Yes, sir,” replied the student. The professor asked :
- If God created everything, then God created evil, since it exists. And according to the principle that our deeds define ourselves, then God is evil. The student became silent after hearing such an answer. The professor was very pleased with himself. He boasted to students for proving once again that faith in God is a myth. Another student raised his hand and said:
- Can I ask you a question, professor? "Of course," replied the professor. A student got up and asked:
- Professor, is cold a thing?
- What kind of question? Of course it exists. Have you ever been cold? Students laughed at the young man's question. The young man answered:
- Actually, sir, cold doesn't exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is actually the absence of heat. A person or object can be studied on whether it has or transmits energy. Absolute zero (-460 degrees Fahrenheit) is a complete absence of heat. All matter becomes inert and unable to react at this temperature. Cold does not exist. We created this word to describe what we feel in the absence of heat. A student continued:
- Professor, does darkness exist? — Of course it exists.
- You're wrong again, sir. Darkness also does not exist. Darkness is actually the absence of light. We can study the light but not the darkness. We can use Newton's prism to spread white light across multiple colors and explore the different wavelengths of each color. You can't measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into the world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you tell how dark a certain space is? You measure how much light is presented. Isn't it so? Darkness is a term man uses to describe what happens in the absence of light. In the end, the young man asked the professor:
- Sir, does evil exist? This time it was uncertain, the professor answered:
- Of course, as I said before. We see him every day. Cruelty, numerous crimes and violence throughout the world. These examples are nothing but a manifestation of evil. To this, the student answered:
- Evil does not exist, sir, or at least it does not exist for itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is like darkness and cold—a man-made word to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not faith or love, which exist as light and warmth. Evil is the result of the absence of Divine love in the human heart. It’s the kind of cold that comes when there is no heat, or the kind of darkness that comes when there’s no light.

God didn't great evil. Everything that God created is only good.
God created the angels to minister to humanity, his children. He created the angel, Lucifer, with a fierce intellect (Gabriel and Micheal represent the emotion and the will).
The intellect sometimes thinks it knows everything, but it doesn't. What is greater than intellect? Love. And love issues forth from the heart.
Lucifer was a teacher to Adam and Eve. But Adam and Eve were created as God's children. Before Adam was created, Lucifer and the two other Archangels were at the very top of the creation hierarchy, directly below God. Lucifer had command over billions of Angels, and was the conduit of God's love and instructions to them. He was top dog.
But when Adam was created, all of a sudden, Lucifer found that he was top dog no longer. He had a natural desire for God's love, but in his intellect, he diverted from God in his thinking. He could not understand why God put Adam at the top of Creation, even over Lucifer.
Adam was a young buck, immature and sort of unknowledgeable. But Lucifer had worked with God for billions of years to create the universe.
He felt short changed. He felt replaced, and developed feelings of being ungrateful.
Is this a problem? No. It's not evil to feel such emotions. And, even though Lucifer had experienced those emotions, it was not a problem for one reason. The only way Lucifer could fall and become Satan was if he had someone to do it with.
And this is why God gave the commandment to Adam (and via Adam, to Eve). To prevent the fall, and to ensure that Lucifer's going off track would not result in evil.
If Adam and Eve kept faith in God's commandment to not eat the fruit, then Lucifer would be petulant, throw a tantrum, and even sulk, but in the end, he would have worn himself out, and then come back to God once he realized that God created Adam to love Lucifer even more than God loved Lucifer himself.
(If Adam obeyed that commandment, and did not fall, he would become perfected as God created him to be perfected, fully mature in heart, and one with the Creator, and so, his love for Lucifer would have amplified God's love for the Angel.)
The key point was Adam and Eve. If they lost faith in God and failed to keep the commandment, Lucifer's problem would cause the fall of man, and then all three would be draw down into a vortex of evil out of control. Satan would be created, because Adam failed to keep faith.
This is the reason why Christ must come as a man. To reverse the failure of Adam. To fulfill the original blueprint that Adam failed to fulfill. And to restore evil.
God did not create evil. Evil was created by Lucifer because Adam and Eve failed to obey God's commandment. Evil was created by, and created, Satan.
In the end, Evil must be destroyed because it is not from God.
