Evil God

Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

Another lie is that because God created Satan and Satan is evil, that God created evil, therefore God is evil. The truth of this matter is in God’s creation intention. Because God is love, He desired a creation to love. The nature of love is to share willingly. Love does not exist within creation without choice. If you cannot choose, you are inanimate, incapable of love.

What people do not realize within this argument is the first degree of sin nature. Sin nature will always look to blame others for their own choices. This is evidenced by the reaction of accusing in man’s first sin, as stated in Genesis 3:12 The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. The first accusation is against God for creating the woman. The woman blamed the serpent, the devil made me do it.

Ultimately this all boils down to refusing to accept responsibility for the choices we make. Good choices result in blessings, bad choices result in curses. If there were not different results for choices, then there are no choices and all things would be equal. For that to be true, God would have to violate His attribute of being just.

According to Hebrews 6:18 it is impossible for God to lie. God spoke to Moses the warnings of choices, both blessings and curses. A warning is only a warning. If you do not heed the warning, do not blame God for the results. That would be like telling the traffic cop that you do not deserve that speeding ticket because it is the fault of the speed limit sign.
