 God permits anything Joseph was sold into slavery and later ended up in prison, so that he could be the second-in-command in Egypt and save his people and others I think the problem is we don't look up to God in such times, or rather, we give up on God easily God permits anything, but always know that anything he permits is going to turn out for our own good 1 Like |

Does God permit evil? Does he give free pass to some evil people and evil actions? Can God permit evil? God, being a good God as we know, Can he accept evil or evil people? Does evil pay than good? Does evil works have more and better benefits than good works? |

samuelmusa: Your use of english language is a clear indication of your foolhardy! Was there no answer to all your rantings in the same Bible? If God did all that to the Jews and Egyptians how is that your problem? At least you're a Nigerian and never believe in His existence, so why taking the whole matter personal? Anyone that call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. |

desmond2pk: In general sense, God is the creator /maker / author of the entire universe, if we see anything in creation of God, we can be sure He knows about it. Isaiah 45:5-7 (must read) Does God PERMITS evil? Yes! But it is always a consequence of another action triggered by man. Because, for every cause there is a corresponding effect and for action there is a reaction. Whenever man alter the balance of nature through their own actions/inaction, the nature will seek to balance itself through a kind of 'titt for tatt'. The most pathetic thing is that, we are always too quick to judge God for the consequences of our own mis-deeds. Again, it may take some generations before the balance can be striked except JESUS CHRIST steps into the situation. 2. God can not do evil...... 1John 5:7b.... God is Light in Him is no darkness at all. Light is one of Three natures of Jehovah. It is not possible for God to be light and darkness at the same time. His character is goodness! ..... He can not be good and evil at the same time. If you see anything such as darkness from Him, be sure He is righteous Judge that will not vindicate the wicked /guilty at the expense of the righteous. You can always trace evil and darkness to satan and man but Vengeance belongs to the Lord. |

desmond2pk: See God as a father with many children Some of these children are matured than the others(spiritually evolved) While some are so childish that they are not ready to behave(ritualists,cultist,politicians, Christians, Muslims e.t.c.) God loves them all unconditionally! And will never ever hinder the growth of any child by taking away his toys. He allows them him to interact with them (life on Earth) until he decides he is ready for bigger things I hope I have made it clear a little |

Things happen, which are objectively "evil"... but God, Who is good (Matt 19:16-18), turns it into good. "Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord—that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful." - James 5:11 |

samuelmusa:pls ask for forgiveness,may be ur God is evil one , but Almighty God am serving can do anything even if permit evil, he may use it to try someone faith and at the end of it glory will come ,gold passed thru fire before it glory come out, see Joseph case, etc. Never blame God for all happened either good or bad he knows about it but one should always beg for mercy for evil not to fall on someone,God is good to those who believe in Him dearly . |
