Do you think it evil?

To ask God to hurt those who willingly hurt you?

That’s how I’m feeling right now. I want my enemies to hurt in the same manner they are trying to hurt me. I’m pretty sure this is against my religeon.

I need someone who always takes the high road against his/her enemies to help me understand.

God isn’t going to do that because that’s vindictive and technically “wrath”

You are supposed to let it go. Pray and ask God To give you the strength to forgive them

How and why should the biblical God give to the strength to forgive your enemies when he won't forgive his own enemies?

He still hates Esau.

James 4:4 (TLB) = "You are like an unfaithful wife who loves her husband’s enemies. [b][i]Don’t you realize that making friends with God’s enemies—the evil pleasures of this world—makes you an enemy of God? [/i][/b]I say it again, that if your aim is to enjoy the evil pleasure of the unsaved world, you cannot also be a friend of God."

If God is upset at having evil as his enemy, why did the idiot create it in the first place?

Isaiah 45:7 (KJV) = [b][i]I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

Who has evil spirits, God or the devil?
1 Samuel 16:14-23 (CEB) =

14 Now the Lord’s spirit had departed from Saul, and [b][i]an evil spirit from the Lord tormented him[/i][/b]. 15 Saul’s servants said to him, [b][i]“Look, an evil spirit from God is tormenting you.[/i][/b] 16 If our master just says the word, your servants will search for someone who knows how to play the lyre. The musician can play whenever the evil spirit from God is affecting you, and then you’ll feel better.”

17 Saul said to his servants, “Find me a good musician and bring him to me.”

18 One of the servants responded, “I know that one of Jesse’s sons from Bethlehem is a good musician. He’s a strong man and heroic, a warrior who speaks well and is good-looking too. The Lord is with him.”

19 So Saul sent messengers to Jesse to say, “Send me your son David, the one who keeps the sheep.”

20 Jesse then took a donkey and loaded it with a homer of bread,[d] a jar of wine, and a young goat, and he sent it along with his son David to Saul. 21 That is how David came to Saul and entered his service. Saul liked David very much,[e] and David became his armor-bearer. 22 Saul sent a message to Jesse: “Please allow David to remain in my service because I am pleased with him.” 23 [b][i]Whenever the evil spirit from God affected Saul,[/i][/b] David would take the lyre and play it. Then Saul would relax and feel better, [b][i]and the evil spirit would leave him alone.[/i][/b]

1 Samuel 19:9 (CEB) =" 9 [b][i]Then an evil spirit from the Lord came over Saul.[/i][/b][a] He was sitting in his house with his spear in hand while David was playing music."

@Diotrephes god never created evil. God created man and gave man free will. And with that free will man made the conscious choice to choose to sin. That would be like accusing gun/knife manufacturers of being murderers.

Evil has to exist in order for good to exist and vice versa. The darkness has to exist in order for the light to be the light


And not you taking individual Bible verses out of context in an attempt to give me your misinterpretation. I can take anything out of context and make it mean whatever I want. Post the entire chapter or don’t post anything. But you won’t do that because the actual meaning that was portrayed would be exposed as would your ignorance on the subject
