WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITION OF "GOOD" ?
Our identification of EVIL only exists because we know of "GOOD" , , ,Besides one mans meat is another mans poison , what you would define as "Good" some one else might define as EVIL , simply because God has given them free will , to chose for themselves what is right and wrong. . .So basically NO!
Rid the world of evil.
He was jealous of god and wanted to be him. God sent him to earth so he could create evil in the world to test humans' free will. So technically, "god" did
Evil is specifically a problem of monotheism with an omniscient omnibenevolent god, such as in the Jewish, Christian, Islamic, Baha'i, etc. tradition. Evil is not a problem for monotheism with a wicked god or incompetent god or for polytheism in general. The reason that evil is a problem according to philosophers is simply that if God is all-powerful and all-good, the presence of evil in the world makes no sense. Either God is all-powerful and could stop the evil, but chooses not to (making Him not all-good) OR God is all-good and wishes he could stop the evil, but is incapable (making Him not all-powerful). The typical religious answer is that the evil in the world is a matter of perception and these things are actually a test to promote the better aspects of ourselves. Some philosophers are satisfied with this answer. Other philosophers argue that the evil in the world does not seem to target the most morally corrupt people, appearing entirely random, making it unlikely that such a test is being engineered.
The logical problem of evil questions how a benevolent and all-powerful deity can coexist with the existence of evil and suffering in the world. It challenges the idea that such a deity would allow for the existence of evil if it has the power to prevent it, leading to doubts about the existence of a benevolent and all-powerful deity.
It is debatable. Some could argue that we would not know what "Good" or "Evil" is if we did not have anything to compare it too.
The logical form of the problem of evil is a philosophical argument that questions how the existence of evil in the world can be reconciled with the belief in a benevolent and all-powerful God.
It could be many movies - lots of stories are about Good vs Evil. One movie and book with a powerful ring is called The Lord of the Rings.
No. Evil is the absence of good. God did not create evil...we made evil, and unfortunately for God, He gave us free will, so everything evil in this world has been chosen by us.
A:In philosophy, this is called the problem of evil and suffering. Evil must come from somewhere, but if God is all-powerful, all-knowing, all good, and the sole creator of the world, then why is there evil and suffering? The problem can only be resolved if at least one of these propositions is false. Therefore if God is all-powerful, he is either not all-knowing and is therefore unaware of all the evil in the world, or he is not all-good and is unconcerned about all. Evil and suffering exist because at least one proposition of religion is false.
The scripture refers to the prince of the air as a powerful evil force that influences the world.
It's subjective and situational. Both good and evil exist in the world, but the perception of their power varies based on individual beliefs, actions, and circumstances. Ultimately, the balance between good and evil is a complex interplay that shapes the world we live in.
A:If the universe was created by a God who is all-knowing, all-powerful and perfectly good, then there ought to be no evil in the world. Over the centuries, theologians have struggled with this dilemma, attempting to explain the existence of both God and evil.In philosophy, this is called the problem of evil and suffering. If God is all-powerful, all-knowing, all good, and the sole creator of the world, then why is there evil and suffering? The problem can only be resolved if at least one of these propositions is false. Therefore if God is all-powerful, he is either not all-knowing and is therefore unaware of all the evil in the world, or he is not all-good and is unconcerned about man.
