Knowing everything and allowing evil

[chi pan]

we're talking about good and evil and i can say that good and evil are opposites with 100% accuracy. do you disagree?

Yep. Good and evil are descriptive terms. You must lay out an ethical system that uses them and define your terms before you can even have a discussion about them. And before you start screeching about relative morality at me, that is not at all what I am talking about. You must go through the labor of semantics before you can start using good and evil in such specific terms as "opposites with 100% accuracy." By saying that you have removed their inherent generality without replacing it with any detail.

well i already defined the terms but if i need to reiterate then fine. good and evil are subject to a lot of bad interpritation and mean very different things to many different people but since we are talking about God and the bible it only seams fitting to use the biblical definition when it comes to the question why does God allow evil. evil is the result of man disobeying God. God has very strict commands and evil is the result of disobeying these commands. if God controlled all our decisions, there would be no evil but since he doesn't then we have the ability to disobey. when we do so, evil is a conciquence. you may think hurting someone by lying to them is not so much evil but according to the bible it is. evil is within everyone because he gives us choice to do good or evil; obey him or not.
