Shouldn't this be, like, in EOEO?

Anyway, good can exist without evil. However, without the knowledge of the consequences of evil, good can become evil. As we're taught in church, the evil beings who fell from heaven and earth will be sentenced to the Lake of Fire. They won't be destroyed as life can't be destroyed once it's created. So evil and good will always coexist, even if it's not necessary.

Paradise Lost is the only form of text that tries to address this claim. I for one do not believe God exists, and if he did, then it is screwy that he would allow evil to exist. Rather, humans aren't evil, they are just tempted towards it. Humans are innately neutral in the grand scheme of things.

i believe in God and believe that he exist and evil been created so As to give us a choice between good and bad and see what we will choose.. that's is why some people are evil and some are good..... if u don't believe in god that doesn't bother me u r free to believe in whatever u like.

Do you think life would be better if we knew god personally and served him blindly with no love or other emotions of any kind. Or we loved him and didn't know why? That's what life would be like without free will. It was Adam and Eve's free will that made them choose to defy god to sate their desires tempted forth by the snake.
God didn't create evil . . . just as he has existed so has evil, but he's tried to suppress it because evil sucks. It's just that living creatures are prone more to being controlled by evil. We have to learn or be taught how to avoid that. Adam and Eve were born without the knowledge of Good and Evil, only the rules given to them by God. The tree was the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. It's what made us aware of what we did. So we have no excuse, only lessons to be learned.
