Our simple answer to this question is no, God is not the author of evil. The Bible makes it very clear that "God is light, and in him is no darkness at all" (1 John 1:5). The Bible also says, "Let no one say when he is tempted, ’I am being tempted by God,’ for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire" (James 1:13-14). So we would say that there is no evil in God, and God cannot be the direct and immediate source of evil, because that would make him evil.

Our more complicated answer is that although God is not the direct and immediate source of evil, God does ordain everything that happens in this world, whether good or evil. That is, God is in charge of this world, and nothing happens if he doesn’t will it to happen. That is why God can also say, "I am the Lord, and there is no other. I form light and create darkness, I make well-being and create calamity, I am the Lord, who does all these things" (Isaiah 45:6-7). So evil will not happen if God does not choose for it to happen. Although Satan and wicked people are the direct source of evil, God rules over everything, and in this way, nothing evil happens unless God wills it to happen.

If a judge in your county let guilty criminals off the hook because he wanted to be a nice guy, he would be kicked off the bench.

So then, how can God be both fair and forgive sinners? We are all sinners and yet those who trust Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord are forgiven of their sins. How can the Judge declare guilty people innocent? Should God be impeached?

As we come to the question of whether or not God exists, this article will set forth four arguments that we think are reasonable and persuasive grounds for the existence of God. Continue Reading »

Are you asking whether you will ever know for sure whether or not God exists? Well, when you die, it seems that one of two things, at least, could happen. One is that you will just cease to exist. The random meaningless matter that was “you” will just disintegrate away, and the “you” that you know, will never have a chance to find out “you” were right or wrong. Continue Reading »
