1 John 1:5 -- This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

Isaiah 45:7 -- I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

Does anyone know why GOD creates evil or allows evil things to happen to good people?

If there is no darkness in HIM then why does HE want and desire to allow evil things to happen? For what purpose? A God who is all light could simply administer His righteous justice of light upon evil, not create evil itself. Not make matters worse but stop them in its tracks.

Genesis 2:9 -- And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

We also see in the garden of Eden God made the Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil. So HE did, in fact, create Evil. Its first appearance was on the tree. In the form of a fruit which when digested would permeate the whole system into sin nature and feed knowledge of sin into the brain. Why didn't HE just make a tree of Good knowledge only? Then none of us would have ever had to sin. Let's face it -- no one needs evil in the universe. GOD made that clear that evil is useless -- "Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire." If Evil is useless then why did GOD create it in the first place? HE had useless fruit on HIS tree.

Something I am confused about.

Romans 10:9-13 -- 9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Acts 4:12 -- Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

John 3:17 -- For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

John 14:6 -- Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Whoever makes fun of these Scriptures is not going to have the last laugh, I can guarantee you that! This a very serious matter of utmost gravity and sincerity. Your life hangs in the balance. Believe on the name of the Lord and be saved. Read what Romans 10 says above and do that proceedure. Become one of HIS saints.
