Quick google search brought me to this. The beloved KJV says he creates evil. There is no misreading this. It says word for word that he creates evil.

Yahweh has done things that most people consider evil. He is capable of evil acts such as causing genocide and permitting slavery and rape. The closest it comes to claiming he doesn't do evil is stating that he doesn't sin. Sin has little, if anything, to do with good or evil. It only means what he does and doesn't like. The two are different. The only reason he doesn't sin is that no one can force him to do something he doesn't want to do.

We've learned a few things about the old Hebrew since then, you need to update yourself. As far as sin being different from evil that's just crazy, you do not want to think you do evil when you sin, typical, don't want to take responsibility for your own actions. God states over and over that sin is evil.

Seems like all the talk about genocide, biblical inconsistencies, and lack of evidence is just a distraction. The only thing some of you care about is giving license to your filthy desires.

Jesus fucking Christ, your level of maturity has just gone to fucking hell, Wooters. What next, you gonna tell us the fool has said in his heart there is no good?

Oh no, wait! We really do know there's a god, right? Rolleyes

Fuck off, you petty little bitch.

He's shown more maturity in one post than your whole life has. You want childish then look at the bold.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
