Proverbs 16:4

[Angrboda]

"The Lord hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil." Proverbs 16:4

God created evil.

No, text does not say this. If it had wanted to say this, it would say "God created their wickedness", but it says "God created the wicked".

Perhaps, but God created Satan, knowing he would rebel and fall, and lead man into temptation; without temptation, whence evil?

He created adam and eve, knowing they would rebel and condemn all generations to begin life with the stain of original sin;
without that, a good life without god is possible. With it, god is necessary. Servitude to Him is necessary. Perpetual atonement is necessary.

God hardens hearts, puts lying spirits in the mouths of prophets and turns wisdom to foolishness; lacking these, error can be discerned
from truth, the good from the bad. With them, god again is necessary.

I'd sooner bet against the house in Vegas than play god's hopelessly rigged game. If a man departs in sin, let him die. Don't fire up the celestial Coleman.
