  • Sin is something we all struggle with. But many have asked us that if God created everything, then doesn't that also mean he made sin? This is an important question to answer because if true, it paints God in a very bad light. So in this video, we answer this question with three points.

      Which is why with evil, or when going down it's path, there will always remain this void of unsatisfaction it can never fill. Indeed, good has substance as said in the video. Only the Most High, through His only begotten son, can give us the satisfaction we're so in need of. 🙏🙌

    I volunteer in youth ministry, and I love playing your videos to my Gr 6-7 group. It's a time when we start questioning and developing critical thinking. Your videos answer many of my youth's questions(and admittedly, my own,lol), so they may put on the armor of God and be prepared to defend and understand the Bible, in all its glory. I'm turning 18 this year in Feb, and I wish I had discovered your channel earlier when I was younger. So, I use your videos to plant the seeds of good faith within my group,which strengthens their relationship with Jesus. Keep up the good work, brother!

      God literally let evil befall on job, heck it was God doing all of that to job. he created everything, sin came into the world through Adam but it already existed, He created everything,
      If God doesn't exist good & evil can't exist.
      God place it in pharaoh heart to be harden so he deals harshly with the people of Israel, God allowed an lying spirit to engage king saul as well to tell him a lie, God make it so. Evil can not touch you unless God allows it, or you live in sin and his curse is among who
      The house of the wicked
      God is never absence even if u cant feel his presence he is always there.
      God can literally do anytime to say he can't create evil when he literally crafted everything seen n unseen. Angels demons, death, plagues ect ect to punishment n what not God created evil like for example just like there's God Will, his plan he designed.
      There has to be an path designed for those outside of it,
      For if ur not filled with the Spirit of God, something else has to reside in you. God's absence within Man heart. God's there waiting, however it's up to man to seek
      Every thing Evil obeys God
      Because God is its creator.

      @@haepy2953 the angels who are in heaven have already made the eternal choice not to sin. They made their choice with their angelic intellects, which are very different from human intellects. When a human makes a mistake, he can later learn from it and do better next time. An angel cannot. He has all knowledge there is to acquire. They are in the presense of God. And they have the strongest possible wills, which means that the choice they make is eternal. This is why angels always continue to be angels, and demons continue to be demons. When a human dies, his "final" choice is permanent. This is why we need to be saved now that we can. We must make the choice to be with God now. And if our eternal choice is to be with God, we will never sin again. We cannot sin in heaven in this state. This is also why demons cannot repent and be forgiven. Because they don't want to. A demon would rather be in hell (away from God) than in heaven (with God). So God respects this opinion and casts them into hell, which also happens to destroy souls. But this is how demons like it

      When you sin, God brings calamity and affliction--this idea is all throughout the entire Bible.

      Destroying your soul and stealing everything from you because i enjoy it is it evil? See evil is not necessarily a lack of good its a disposition and inclination..
      There are people you can tell are evil. Others do wrong by being certain they do good. Yet they still can cause harm.
      I can take the lollipop of a child who doesnt mind it. Even if i take it by force hes ok with it. Is that evil? What if the same child at the moment feels sorrowful and me taking the candy makes him suicice? Now its evil?
      You might say taking something that isnt mine is wrong doing. But if i know the child is hurt by it and still do it isnt that feeding into evil?
      If i know i can control people by sweet talking them into harming themselves by commiting sexual immorality that makes them slaves to sin. Yet they cant see that. They just get directed into it. Arent i doing evil?
      Evil is quite complicated. I think there is ill intent. Ill action. Bad. And evil is own thing. Being devoid of good isnt evil. Thats nothing.

      Consider this scenario:
      A man is waiting at a crosswalk of a very busy intersection. Suddenly he hears the cries of a terrified mother behind him. Turning around, he sees a toddler running in his direction, giving every sign that the child will run right past him and bolt into traffic. The man realizes he could effortlessly extend his hand and stop the toddler, saving the child's life. He also understands he could prevent the untold heartache of a mother watching her child horribly die, and the grief and trauma of every witness, motorist, family member and friend.
      Instead the man freely chooses to do nothing. Tires screech, vehicles collide, lives are ruined and one is lost. The light turns red and the man walks around the carnage and continues on his way.
      Is that man evil? YES or NO?
      How is a god who allows countless accidents, catastrophes, and natural disasters to happen that kill or destroy MILLIONS also not evil?
      Tragedies happen.
      Either your god cannot stop them, OR chooses not to, OR does not exist.
      That means either your god is powerless, OR evil, OR imaginary.
      Take your pick and choose wisely.

      Regarding Heaven:
      Only the completely dead know what happens after we die, and the dead don't speak. No one currently alive could possibly know what happens after death. That makes all feelings and beliefs about an afterlife delusional, dishonest, or both.

    I found proof against this. Good video, I enjoyed this, but god had to have made the personalities of his creation that resulted in them choosing to obey or disobey him.

  • @Smoke_kemuri

    I hear what your saying but I thing the reason why God gave us the power of choice was so that we are like Him, because He said in the beginning, "let us make man in our image", meaning God made us like Him...that's why we have the power of choice and also have our own will. This doesn't mean we don't need God, we just have a choice and a will just like He does
    And for the question did God make sin...the answer is simple, No...why would He make something He hates with a passion, it just doesn't make sense, and that's why Satan if referred to as the father of sin...sin came from jealousy
    This is a really good question though I don't wanna lie.

I agree and have made a similar study and concluded the same thing, God did not create sin, it became the result of granting humanity free will to have that genuine relationship. We have a choice to follow what is good or to follow a life in rebellion of good. Much of the what many writers in the Bible mostly always ended their warnings or sermons with the theme of obedience, and for one to do that one must choose to do that. God Bless you!

When you’re away from him you lack direction as well and a trip that can take you minutes becomes hours, days, or years. God is a good father, he’s sovereign, and makes a way when there’s no way.

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.“

    Where he said that the choice wasn't about choosing good or evil rather it's choosing to be with God and he's character or apart from him. This struck me so much because it makes so much sense what is hell , hell isn't the presence of pain , suffering , regret or agony but it's the absence of God's presence ❤❤. Lucifer chose not to be evil but rather to be apart from God and that is hell even though he isn't there right now and the same goes for humans.
