God is evil

No, 'knowledge and control' are not different, not in this case. God's foreknowledge controls the outcome of his will. You are absolutely right that God knows we will sin but God wanted to created someone that will serve him and he can love. Example: Every child hurts their parents. Some children are more out of control than others but pretty much every child fights with their parents now and again. Now, if we know that children are going to cause us heartbreak and we know that the child is going to be caused pain and suffering as the average human does, then why do we have children? I think what is so hard for people to understand is yes, God knows what we are going to do before we do it but in the end it is our choice. God has a plan for our lives but is our choice only if we follow it or not. 'free will' is not free will if it comes with a price or consequence. God gives us free will, but, if we use it to go against His will, we're doomed. This is not free will, it's evil control. That is honestly not what free will is about at all. Here is the most accurate definition of free will. free will-free and independent choice; voluntary decision: You took on the responsibility of your own free will. "free and independent choice" God allows us to make our own decisions."Voluntary decision" We make it on our own terms""You took on the responsibility of your own free will" Free will doesn't mean consequence free, it merely means YOU have a choice. For Example: America is a free country but if we do drugs we go to jail or other consequences. We made our choice and now we are taking responsibility. His plan that would ultimately doom most of his creation. Absolutely not! He meant hell for the devil and his angels but once again WE have a choice. For instance I made the choice of accepting Jesus Christ's wonderful truth at 6 yrs. old. I will not be attending hell because I made a CHOICE. I know very well I could've rejected him. Evil came from God. God is all-knowing, and he knowingly created evil. God is ALL good. You do not "create evil" because it is the absence of good. Example: You don't create darkness because it is the absence of light. God, with omniscience wholly knew and intended for the existence of Satan. Therefore, the origin of evil Satan can be traced directly back to God Again, God did know Lucifer would try and overpower him but Lucifer had a CHOICE!!!God had absolutely no control over what Lucifer did. He did it of his on accord. Another demonstration of God's evil intentions. He sent his son as a sacrificial blood sacrifice to suffer and die on a cross as a way of atoning for sins that God Himself created. To save people from a torturous hell that He made. God did this because he loved the world and he made a punishment for our sins but he wanted us to be able to get out of what we did. Conclusion God is not Evil or anything less than perfection. He is perfect, holy, and just. He loves us and wants us to make the right choice. Would you rather have God not have created us and if he created us would you rather have not free will? And would rather have had him create free will without consequences? Without consequences, things get bad!!!! Thank you for the debate. I appreciate reading and discussing your point of view. Hopefully debate you again???
