But That's The Old Testament

I completely agree with m_nwankwo.
God is absolute goodness and all forms of evil is alien to God. God did not create evil.
The origin of evil lies in the misapplication of God's power which he lends to all his creatures and which all creatures are dependant upon.
This power of God is neutral, it can be used to create good, as much as it can also be used to creat evil. But this neutral power issued out of God who is absolute goodness, hence this power becomes strong when used rightly, i.e when used to create good. It weakens when used wrongly. This is why evil is transient, and only temporal.

In addition to this, there is a law in creation: The law of reciprocal action. Jesus explained this law by, "What a man sows that shall he reap!" This law operates in parts of creation, from the spiritual to the physical, from the smallest things to the biggest things.

Even science observed this law in motion of physical things. "Every action has an equal and oppsite reaction." Thus if I apply a force of 10 newtons on a wall, the wall automatically applies the same force of 10 newtons back to me.

This law operates even in the actions of man. If a man does good, this good will oneday return to him a thousand fold.
Just as if a farmer plants one seed of corn, during harvest he will reap kernels of corns.

So when catastrophic evil overcome peoples(like Sodom and Gomorrah) and destroy them all. It is not God that made this evil. It is the people, i.e they must have sown this evil in the past. So the catastrophe we see is only a hervest of what they had sown in the past. Here we see a perfect example of man creating evil. If man only sows good seeds, then on hervest days, they will only receive goodness, blessing, peace, joy.

This law of "sowing and reaping" is an expression of the WILL OF GOD which is absolute love and justice. It is a blessing to those that use it rightly, ie those that sow only good seeds. Receiving the good that they once sowed is love and justice form them for it encourages them to remain good.

Likewise, the distruction that people receive on hervest days is also love and justice. The love there is that it enables them to experience what they once did to others and it shows them how they stand, offering them the recognition that will impell them to change. It is also justice for those who they once harmed, for in the suffering of their oppressors they will see the Justice of God defending them. Thus they will see the fulfillment of the biblical words, "Vengeance is mine."

Thus in all God's laws there are only goodness.

Deu 30:15   See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction.

Deu 30:16   For I command you today to love YAHAWAH your Father, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and YAHAWAH your Father will bless you in the land you are entering to possess.

Deu 30:17   But if your heart turns away and you are not obedient, and if you are drawn away to bow down to strange gods (elohiym) and worship them,

Deu 30:18   I declare to you this day that you will certainly be destroyed. You will not live long in the land you are crossing the Yardan to enter and possess.

Deu 30:19   This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live

Deu 30:20   and that you may love YAHAWAH your Father, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For YAHAWAH is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Ab-ra-ham, Yis-ahk and Yaaqob.

Deu 30:6 And YAHAWH will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your seed, to love YAHAWAH with all your heart, and with all your being, that you may  live.
