Hahahhah, you should guess again!

Because Good Men (Mankind) refuse to do anything about it and think they are powerless to do so. When and If they do, they get Punished by those who would see Evil Flourish but see it as Righteousness in their eyes. The Masses are Blind to the truth, even truth right in front of their eyes, they do not see.

For those who do see, they are made to feel Ashamed and Wronged. To be thought of as the Weak and Confused. They are Called Conspirators and to be Mocked. As I am often been called and done to. Their Proof is Buried, Burned, Destroyed and called Conspiracies and Mocked (YouTube/Google/Main Stream Media).

People are being taught that Evil is Good and Good is Evil. Everything reversed. As Above, So Below... But Reversed. Churches and Christianity, the Praising of God being Torn Down and Banned. Churches of Satan, Statues of Satan, Satanists being Raised up and Praised. Man and Woman as Separates being Mixed as One. Male becomes Female, Females become Males (Anyone in the Gov, Mainstream Media, Nasa, anyone in the position of Power and Authority or in the Entertainment World.... Not all but a HUGE Majority). All Praise and Worship Satan and do their Satanic Gesturing and Symbolisms. One just has to open their eyes to the truth. Yet most refuse to.

This is just part of why there is Evil in this world. People have a Choice to wake up to the Father or Stay Blinded by Satan. The Evidence is Out there if you are willing to look but it is being taken down and Buried as fast as they can.

You don't have to agree with me. That is your decision/Choice.

For a better understanding or even the total understanding, we must use the scriptures.

God raised Pharao up and made his nation the greatest on earth. God did this with a very specific purpose:

[Romans 9:17] For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, even for this same purpose have I raised thee up. That I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.

So, God sent Mozes to Pharao and made sure, that Pharao would NOT let his people go. This refusal of Pharao, allowed God to sent plaques and more plaques, each time Pharao refuses to comply. God harden his heart further. The whole world was watching and looking and trembling, and wondering how this battle would end.

In the latter days God did exactly the same thing. He Commanded Satan to raise up another nation to be the greatest on earth. A proud nation, that would blaspheme his name, and weaken the nations, committing all forms of evil on the earth, in the seas and sky as swift as the eagle flys, and saying: who can bring me down to the ground?

And God will judge this nation, once more sending the plaques of Egypt, because just like Pharao, they spoiled and refused to let His people go. Proclaiming His power in the name of His Son upon the earth, who was the mediator and redeemer, for the next 1000 years.

The world has turned upside down. Who can change it, fix it?
Some believe that people can end evil if they join forces. Why haven't they done it yet? Because they cannot.

Only God can end evil and suffering. This is stated in Revelation 21: 4 (New World Translation) - "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."

But why do people do evil?
What or who prompts them to do evil?
Is evil an abstract concept?

Evil is everything that causes pain, suffering, grief.
In the Bible, this word means that which is completely opposite to good.

Many people believe that God is to blame for all evil and misfortunes. They say this because they think God rules the world. But the Bible says that the world is not ruled by God, but Satan the Devil - 1 John 5:19 (New World Translation) "... the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked One."
The ruler of the world, Satan the Devil, is very cruel. He misleads the entire inhabited earth - Revelation 12: 9 (New World Translation) "...who is misleading the entire inhabited earth." Because of his influence, many people become violent.

This is one of the reasons why there is so much lies, hatred and violence in the world. There are other reasons as well.

After the rebellion against God, Adam and Eve ceased to be perfect and passed on sin to their descendants.
Sin is another cause of misery.
Due to the fact that people are sinful, they compete with each other, fight for power in all ways, fight and oppress each other. Ecclesiastes 4: 1 (New World Translation) "Again i turned my attention to all the acts of oppression that go on under the sun. I saw the tears of the oppressed, and there was no one to comfort them. And their oppressors had the power, and there was no one to comfort them."

Another reason is "time and place".
This means that a person can get into trouble simply by being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The reasons for the existence of evil:
1. Influence of Satan the Devil
2. Sin
3. Time and place

Jehovah does not harm people - Job 34:10 (New World Translation) "...It is unthinkable for the true God to act wickedly, for the Almighty to do wrong." He is not to blame for the fact that people commit crimes, fight, oppress each other.

Despite the development of technological progress, science, poverty, crime, wars exist perfectly in our world. For so many years of life without God, people have not been able to solve these problems and have not learned how to successfully manage themselves - Ecclesiastes 8: 9 (New World Translation) "... man has dominated man to his harm."
 

So are the chronic pain issues I've had for 45 years caused by evil? Or just medical facts?

I hear sarcasm in your voice!

Having lost their perfection, our ancestors rewarded us with sin - sickness and death. Even just a born child
already has some kind of disease. And the further we are from perfection, the more and more we get sick.

I am very sorry about your health problems, but judging by the Scriptures, this is the result of inherent sin. After all, sin is not just in us. It works and destroys us from the inside, shortening an already short life.

And since sin is one of the causes of evil, we can say that your problems are born of evil.

If this were not so, then the doctors would have cured everyone already!
But no. A person can be cured all his life and not cured. The doctor can alleviate the patient's condition a little, but cannot cure him.
 

My voice? I'm sorry I'm not aware that we've spoken. When has that?

Evil is a disregard for life, rejection of reality and lies. Good is a respect for life, acceptance of reality and the Truth. In life we choose and act on those choices we make. Doesn't matter if you believe God spoke the word or we are made of star dust. Our souls or life force allows us to choose and act.

"Remove the concept of evil and everyone becomes evil." Once you start doing evil things repeatedly you become evil. You destroy yourself. Then since misery loves company, you destroy others.

The most simple answer is that it is populated with mankind. Genesis 6:5 tells that our imaginations of our thoughts are continually evil. The solution is not to lean to our own understanding. Our thoughts are not God's thoughts. We need to have a thought change to destroy our inherent evil.

For ivegotthegirth

This is a figurative expression.

You should first ask what the girth is, hahah.

You must change your diet!

Well I know it's a fact that there have been more wars and more killing done in the name of religion than anything else.


There are currently evil little countries that harbor and are the world capitals of internet scammers.

Y'r right! Religion, riches, power, genocide and expansion are the main reasons for war. And religion encompasses wordly riches, power over the nations and expansion of land. For thousands of years, battles have been fought for possesion of the land of the LORD.

And the bible also tells us that the LORD will battle his enemies who have departed his land.

[Exodus 17:16] For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with "Amalek" from generation to generation, meaning forever.

God has promised to make war with the Jewish people in Israel, from generation to generation. These means that Israel will always be at war with their neighbours and other nations, until it's their time to depart from the Land that was given to them not by God, but by the enemies of God, and which land God loves the most. He hallowed Zion.

During the Dark Ages millions of Jews dispelled from their home and many were burned by the Catholic church, for heresy and those that survived became slaves of the Papal. This is still happening today but at a different level. Watch the kidnapping in Jemen, mauritania, Nigeria and all around the world. And the random killing of young men and women. The new world order is also a great evil, and in the root of it, lies Christianity.

Everyone knows the name Satan. Many even believe that Satan is evil.
But how did Satan come from, where did he come from?

The Bible says that Satan is a real person. He is invisible to human eyes for the same reason that God is invisible to us - "God is a spirit" (John 4:24). The Devil is a spirit creature, but unlike God, the Devil had a beginning. Those. he is God's creation, as we all are.

Long before the creation of man, God created many spirit personalities (Job 38: 4,7). They are called angels in the Bible (Heb. 1: 13,14).
God made them perfect, none of them was the devil, none of them had evil tendencies. How did Satan the Devil come about?

Example: if a decent person steals something, he becomes a thief.

Likewise, the perfect son of God became Satan when he followed the lead of his wrong desires. He wanted people created by God and their descendants to worship not the Creator, but him. He wanted something that rightfully belongs only to the Creator. The angel began to hatch his plan and this led to his rebellion and deception.

The disobedient angel pushed the first people to break the law of God. He argued that the Creator is hiding the truth from people. This was the first lie in the world. And having said it, this angel became an adversary and a slanderer, i.e. Satan the Devil.

This is how Satan was born. And since that time he invisibly influences thoughts, actions, for the whole life of people.

P.S. ---
after baptism, Satan tempted Jesus Christ. But a reasonable real person, and not a faceless force, can tempt or do something else!
This moment once again confirms that Satan is real (although invisible), like you and me.

Satan is a specialist, he is the deceiver and God does the Evil. Satan was of course created by God. He is a lesser force. That Satan does the Evil, comes from Christianity. Even the Pope believes this.

Right, Satan is a spiritual demon, an invisible entity created by the creator. He answers to God and has his workers on earth. Christ tells us who his workers are
[Rev. 2:9]

God made Satan to be the Devil. When you read about Esau and Jacob in [Roman 9], then God tells us that he loved Jacob and hated Esau, even before the children were born. God is actually saying that He created Esau to hate him, and use him for His evil purposes.

You wrote: The disobedient angel pushed the first people to break the law of God.
Not sure where you read about it.

I read about this in Genesis 3.
It tells how Satan, through a snake, seduced Eve to eat the fruit from the forbidden tree.
By eating this fruit, they violated the law of God - not to eat the fruit from the forbidden tree.

The Bible translation you are using also says this.

The real reason for so much evil in the world is because until Jesus Christ comes back and takes earth's possession back to God the earth belongs temporarily to Lucifer and he is not interested on peace, love, caring, cooperation and the well-being of humanity, in the opposite..also, the world as exists now, with the devil in control, it's just a temporary thing..soon it will change for the real planet earth...
