Did God create evil? Certainly not. Does He allow evil to exist? Yes. Why? I can’t fully answer this, but I can say that He allows evil to happen in order for good to come from it. The reason evil continues, is because God has given man free will, some men chose to have no reverence for God. Once man chooses this path for his life, God Grant’s him his wish, totally eliminated any contact or reference to Him. This irreverent, disconnected man makes his own way, choosing to cater to his selfish desires, and thus giving birth to evil behaviors. Evil is man’s choice to live without God.
7 I thought, ‘Surely they will have reverence for Me now! Surely they will listen to My warnings. Then I won’t need to strike again, destroying their homes. ’But no, they get up early to continue their evil deeds.
