It never ceases to amaze me when people give Satan a "god-like status". Satan never was God's equal in any fashion; that one was simply an Angel who did Fall from Grace.


God created all metal's; and to say He can "only work with soft metal's" doesn't make any sense to me. If you're using this quote in reference to "people" with impurities; why did Christ die for the Sin's of those standing on the earth back then?
I posted my reply above. Take care.
 
Just as dark is an absence of light so evil is an absence of good.

If one is not serving God, then one is serving the devil.
Ultimately evil is a rejection of what is good.
No, evil is not absense of good. If it was, rocks and food and houses would be evil too, since they lack good.
The privation theory of evil is illogical and unBiblical.

Inanimate objects are not moral or immoral they are amoral, it is how a moral being uses them.
Go back to genesis, there we see God declaring that everything he created was very good.
We also see evil as a result of a rejection of God's will for mankind.
Evil is still a rejection of that which is good, it is an absence of good that causes evil.
 
The bible says god created everything except for evil things. How does biblical evil even exist, if it wasn't created by god? The bible even says things won't exist unless they're created by someone or something. Only god could've created biblical evil by its own logic since it's lore states that everything is created.
One word, Pride, and we have it today but now we see its danger if left unchecked, and in the Kingdom we will set aside, and be humble before God...

So amorality AND evil are absences of good.
But then there is confusion, how will you tell the diff??
Here's how: Evil is the OPPOSITE of good. Yes, absence of it too, BUT that is not all. It is also a presence of evil.

Cold is an absence of heat AND presence of cold. You can spray co2 via a fire extiguisher, and spread cold.

Do you think that good is also an abscence of evil, in addition to presence of good? Am curious.
