The mere fact that there is a scripture that we can point to that explicitly says, "God is Love," (1John 4:8,16) should mean that my premise is logically and obviously wrong...
Unfortunately (for some), it is quite logical that God does or at least allows evil to happen. If God is supposed to be almighty, that should mean that Satan can only operate within the boundaries set by the one who is mightier than all (Almighty).
The logical conclusion then is, not only does God allow evil, the most high God actually brings Evil!
How?
Satan works for God, and he brings evil at the behest of the Most High God.
In the book of Job, the most High allows Satan to destroy Job's children and possessions but not him; the Lord then allowed Satan to touch Job, but not kill him. (Job 1:6-12 / 2:1-7)
One particular case came after a circumstance of severe disobedience with the first king of Israel, King Saul. After his rejection, the prophet Samuel is instructed to anoint David, and then a strange thing happens:
"Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit FROM the Lord troubled him. (1 Samuel 16:13-14 KJV)
His Constant disobedience created a situation where the Lord rejected him from being king. It was at this point that God did a 180° turn, instead of a good spirit being with him there was an evil spirit:
"And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit FROM God troubleth thee. Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well."
And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer.
And it came to pass, when the evil spirit FROM God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him. (1 Samuel 16:15-16, 21, 23 KJV)
CONCLUSION: Not only does God do evil; He also sends evil angels/spirits to people.
So the next time someone says the devil made me do it, or "the devil has been beating me up," that person needs to check themselves and their relationship with (The Almighty) God!
FOOD 4 THOUGHT (you do the dishes):
Evil CANNOT be brought upon your city unless the Most High God, brings it: "Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it?" Amos 3:6
Consider Jerusalem the place where Jesus will live (Psalms 132) and what God did to that place. "Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, whither the Lord had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the Lord’s house; and said to all the people, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words." Jeremiah 19:14-15
"For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good, saith the Lord: it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire." Jeremiah 21:20
And finally: "For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the Lord of hosts." Jeremiah 25:29
May the Lord add a blessing to the acknowledgment of His truth; in Jesus name!
