Help time with John 3:16 - "For GOD so LOVED the world" - Who did GOD loved past tense ? Jacob Israelite's, refer to Psalms 47:4, Romans 9:13, Malachi 1:2, scripture is clear on that. Now the "world" - GOD calls the nation of Israelite's a world - refer John 18:20 and Isaiah 45:17-But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation:.....world without end. Candice is correct.
In Genesis 1:1 it says God created the heaven and the earth. And in Isaiah 45:18 - it says he formed it to be inhabited, not in vain. Genesis 1:2 it says - And the earth was without form, and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. That verse shows it was not habitable. Why say G 1:2 goes along with G 1:1? In my mind it can't.
My head hurts from reading the remarks on this chapter. I want to encourage all of us however, to hold fast to the doctrine that was delivered unto us at the beginning. God created the heavens and the earth, and everything seen and not seen. Read Colossians. Next, if Jesus lied then he sinned? I think not! We must trust that all will be made clear in heaven when we will see HIM as He is. Amen
Even as God created the world in 6 days and claimed it to be all good, Yet if evil is bad (for humanism) I don’t suppose it is bad to the extent that God had created it as it were for a good reason, and not necessarily that we have a choice or free will in this matter. There are many sort of evils that a person cannot avoid with their free will or choice, ..but a limited if not a wishful stance.
" I create evil"
We are given a free will, which implies more than one choice available.
The tree of the knowledge of good and evil was in the garden..
.so God created it for us to choose or not
we couldn't choose it if it was not available!
What was the Origin of evil if He didn't create it?Satan?
S couldn't create anything..he was restricted to "steal, kill and destroy"
we choose !
God is blameless, there is no evil found in Him. God doesn't break His own Law, the 10 Commandments. God is Holy, Perfect, and without sin. In the original Biblical Manuscripts, the "Textus Receptus", the word "evil" correctly translated "tumult" means trouble. God brings tumult into the lives of evil doers. The KJV Bible is truest to the Manuscripts. satan is the originator of evil. Ezek. 28.
The Chapter says, "I am the Lord there is none beside me", you don't know me but let me tell you who I am. You don't have to wonder anymore, I form light, create darkness, make peace, and create evil I the Lord do all these things. This eliminates the question why is there evil in the world? God created it. He does not tempt man with evil, or cannot be tempted with it, he tells us don't bother it.
Isa 45:7 "God creates evil"
God gave all of us a free will, which HE WON'T OVER RIDE! Simply put,(in my view) I eat ice cream,and there are all kinds of flavours...
I had never heard of "pralines and cream", so I tried it....now my favourite
If evil isn't there, you can't choose it.Free will requires 2choices at least
Good, evil qualify. If good only, no free will!
That's why !
Isaiah 45-7 the lord proclaims that he creates good and evil and with that being said, he also created "free will" witch is, "choice". it is therefore in our power to choose, so we can not blame GOD nor anyone else for that matter when the time reckoning is at hand...

President Trump did not "Declare" or "Proclaim" Jerusalem to be the Capital of Israel; but "Officially Acknowledged" that fact. Israel named its own Capital, according to the 3000 plus tear old FACT! It is interesting how many haters of God and antichrists are making such an uproar about it! Not to feel sorry for them; but to take notice and keep in mind...we are in the end of the last days.
Our God is the only God to be worshiped. He is the Author of every situations in our life's. Anything that happens to you, you must know that God Has approved it whether bad or good, and the Word says give thanks to everything. I have a trust in Him because He is Love, the branch that bears fruits He cares and prunes it for He is the Faithful God.
The Sovering Lord JEHOVAH' Did not create Satan which the word itself means oposer or contender , this angel was a perfect spirit creature and betrayed the lord and abandoned his position in the heavens, thus earning that name.Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
"Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else." It was told to Israel at the first, that they bring the Word to all Nations, and that they would first proclaim to them Peace, and make war only after they would not submit; ( Deut. 20:10-20): but Israel failed this. It was ever in the LORD's heart to save the world, and so it is now our calling.
Regarding this comment; "the evil came from Adam and Eve's sin, every evil came after the fall,evil was not before the fall" According to scripture evil existed before the fall; Gen.2:9,and 2:17 "but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil thou shalt not eat of it:for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die" God planted this tree, then placed Adam and Eve in the garden.
JW - the evil came FROM Adam 'n Eve's sin. They are not separate entities. The first murder came AFTER the fall. Every evil came AFTER. Evil was not before the fall.
satan didn't 'send' anything to earth, much less tares. The tares are sinners who follow satan in their evil, sinful ways. They REJECT Jesus after having been told of Him and His plan of salvation - Acts 2:38. Just like everyone in Genesis who rejected God through Noah's preaching. Jesus tells us PLAINLY what the tares are. Read your Bible with prayer to Jesus to open your eyes.
Romans 1:28-32 (Even these people will some day do the following) Isaiah 45:23, Romans 14:11,Philipians 2:10, V.11 says"And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Whether they will be doing it in heaven or hell; God will judge.
Marquisha Jerry What's awesome is God put that next verse after how He created the earth as if He was saying open your eyes seek you will find truth and with Me, listening to Me, not man but with Me you will hear the truth of what the scripture say. His wisdom speaks in Proverbs 8vs 22-31 in 2 Peter 3vs 5-7how the old world which means world age perished. Jer.4 vs 23-27 but not to full end. Pray.
Have you read Isaiah 45:18 how God in the beginning created the earth beautiful. He created with wisdom in Proverbs 8:22 - 30 also in Genesis 1:2 check out the word "was" and it's became without form and if you read Jeremiah 4:22 you will read of a great flood with no Noah and family and in 27 earth was desolate but not to a full end. 2 Peter 3:5 - 7 speaks of the earth age before.
It's deep, and I like learning about the bible, and what I learned about Isaiah 45 was goid, and first time lookibg at that scripture the way I did which was awesome. Thanks for your information on the book of Isaiah chapter 45 God bless you
God created Satan but he was Lucifer and God created all men with Freewill and some are evil. Satan sends his tares to earth written in Matt. 13:36-44 his children. They are his because they followed him to overthrow God on the throne but were cast down/ katabole. So you could say God created evil but if you believe God created evil the way some make it sound I wouldn't want to be you. God is Love
God is saying He did not create the earth without form and void. If you check out the word "was" in verse 2 of Genesis it is "became" and the destruction is written in Jeremiah 4 and why? in Ezekiel when Satans Pride got to him and he tried to take the throne. If you google appendix 146 of the companion bible there are two terms for foundation and katabole to cast down overthrow. 2 Peter 3 helps.
Read the Book. Isaiah 45:18, earth form beautiful beginning Proverbs 8:22 to 31wisdom with God creation of earth. Job 38:7 at the foundation the sons of God and His stars/children. Verse saying every soul God had created rejoicing at our beautiful home earth. With a Father our God that has been around for billions of eternal years which the scriptures say we lived with how can you not believe it.
God created this earth to be inhabited as verse 18 shows. This shows that God will always have a purpose for the earth and it is to be inhabited with the righteous.
