I just can't explain it. The front page is full of bad news, young girls and boys used for ritual purposes , 400 women/girls murdered in cold blood in Iraq, Boko Haram wipes half a town off the map , family break down , multiplication of pretenders , fake people , users and abusers, religious freaks wrecking havoc all over the place, diseases, weather disasters etc. How can the world be such a haven of injustice, one part of the world vomiting out food (bulimia ) while the other part struggles to eat 2 square meals. Fathers killing sons and sons killing fathers. Churches now almost brothels or places of abuse and fraud, the same place where people are supposed to find peace and succour has also become grossly evil and mostly business centres. I am really struggling to understand why a good world has become so evil , and please don't feed me with that ' the reason for this evil is the devil ' crap , after all God destroyed the early world because of the wickedness of man and not the devil. Who do we run to in these times of turmoil and extreme evil  |

Adam caused it by disobeying God . Satan now has power to cause diff evil to befall man . That is why God is going to destroy this world so as to bring the evil to an end. But the disobedient who do not accept Jesus Christ shall be destroyed and only the true children of God shall be part of the new world. Being a Christian does not qualify you to inherit this eternal life but complete holiness and grace of the Lord Jesus. |

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of EVIL is for GOOD men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke Leave God out of it. Man himself is evil but he is always quick to blame God or Devil. Questions for You What good are you doing in your immediate community? Can those around you say you are a good person? Start from yourself. Look in the mirror and ask yourself "am I improving or destroying this World"? |

Rilwayne001: That is right. Have you accepted him as your Lord and personal saviour ? For those who do not believe are condemned already . The bible makes us to know that there is going to be an end to this world systems and a new world free of evil shall be recreated by God . This was why Jesus came and is coming the second time to take his saints to heaven during rapture and after that no more reconciliation for man kind and the evil and the suffering will be beyond what man has ever witnessed. Revelation 21:1-8, 25-27 KJV And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. [2] And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. [3] And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. [4] And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. [5] And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. [6] And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. [7] He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. [8] But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. [25] And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. [26] And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. [27] And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life. This world was corrupted by the very first sin of Adam and a new one shall be brought down to be inherited by children of God who believe in Jesus ,the new Adam ,and HOLY BY KEEPING HIS COMMANDMENTS . THESE SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD: Galatians 5:19-21 KJV Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these ; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, [20] Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, [21] Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. THESE ARE EXPECTED OF THOSE FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD: Galatians 5:22-24 KJV But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, [23] Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. [24] And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. Jesus is the way ,the truth and life . |

enilove: I don't For those who do not believe are condemned already how about those who believed? The bible makes us to know that there is going to be an end to this world systems When? Since jesus came to eradicate the adamic sin, all these suffering which you alleged to have been caused by Adam ought to have stopped, perherps jesus died in vain and a new world free of evil shall be recreated by God . What is delaying it from being recreated for over 6000years now? This was why Jesus came and is coming the second time to take his saints to heaven during rapture and after that no more reconciliation for man kind and the evil and the suffering will be beyond what man has ever witnessed. Why didn't he do that in the first coming? why the second coming? the bible says the generation during when jesus was alive will not pass before jesus will come, many generations have passed after then [ 2 Likes |

It's evolution, dummy!(not you Frosty,  )Humans are animals, animals that have reached the pinnacle of biological evolution, but who are now struggling with social evolution. A good understanding of the human psyche, the human mind, how the two opposite hemispheres of f the human brian struggle to override each other's neural impulses is the only way to understand good, evil and the social dynamics that influence human interactions. I have also argued vigorously in my threads that we don't have as much freewill as we think we do. Our will are encumbered by so many forces beyond our conscious control. Take for example, Sunspot cycles. Very few people know how much the cycles of the Sun affect our behaviours and attitudes, that include fertility, famine, social conflicts, wars and peace. How about the 100 trillion microbes that make up 90% of our body cells. Since microbes have been shown to exhibit social behaviour, then we can simply imagine how much of our social behaviours are instigated or directly influenced my our microbial overlords. This is why self-awareness , reason and continuous self assessment is the best means of charting a coherent and consistent path of harmony. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Well, sometimes I imagine that God might have struck a deal with the devil. A deal that would see Satan rule over the world for some years, deceiving and haunting people whilst God watch from a distance. It would be a win-win situation, one that'd see God pick his true followers amid the chaos that has been inflicted by the devil, whilst Satan get to enlarge his following, the 'deceived' ones that would join his party in hell, that's if such place exists. If my imagination is anything to go by, then I make bold to say Satan is currently ruling the earth. 1 Like |

God/Allah possesses both good and bad. God has the complete knowledge of both good and bad. The thing is God is composed of Dominant genes and recessive genes. They made a new people out of their recessive genes. These new people are the cause of all evil you can ever imagine or known. These new people began with Adam and Eve (they were not the first man and woman, infact, they are not in the first sextillion people). God knows evil but does not have the experience of it. He is God, He has to experience it all. Here We are experiencing evil, gaining the knowledge of evil. And We have concluded. "evil doers, the devils, are disaggreeable to live with, they can't be repaired, they would only be destroyed, but before then, they will be forced to repair and replenish all that they have spoilt and damage. frosbel: |

frosbel:God created everything and called it good, however we are told that the tree of the knowledge of Good and evil was in the midst of the garden, why dint God just cut it off in the first place? Because God want to create humans who will worship Him and love him, bible say without trial true love cannot be possible, true love required two option(evil and good)so God allow evil to exist in other for man to chose from good and evil. The decision you chose can affect other people in Luke chapter 12 it say; "Do you suppose that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division; for from now on five members in one household will be divided, three against two, and two against three. They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; mother-in- law against daughter- in-law, and daughter-in-law against mother-in- law." ( Luke 12:51-53) So you see, spiritual choices causes division.Jesus said that the division between His followers and those who oppose Him will widen as time goes on: "Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations on account of My name." ( Matthew 24:9) So, the reason why there is no world peace is because most people have chosen to oppose God and do their own thing. Jesus said that God will allow this unrighteousness to continue for quite a while, then bring a quick end to the persecution of the righteous: "For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever shall. And unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days shall be cut short." ( Matthew 24:21-22) It is at this time that God will judge the world and the unrighteous. Following this, God will destroy the universe and create a brand new one. THIS IS GOD CONCEPT OF PEACE Jesus, the Prince of Peace, did not come to give peace to the world, but to give peace with God to the individual: Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. ( Romans 5:1) This peace comes through repentance. Unfortunately, many people do not know what true repentance means, repentance is not simply saying a prayer and going along with one's own idea of what is right. It is believing God and responding in that belief. Thank you. |
