God is Not perfectly good

A very simple logical statement that proves God is Not perfectly good. If God creates evil then God is Not perfectly good. If God is the creator of all things and evil is a part of that creation then God is Not perfectly good.

People do evil they have freewill Gods not forcing you to be good

@RisingMorningStar7 your response is invalid. There is an error in your reasoning that makes your argument incorrect. God created human beings. God created free will to be good or evil. Human beings did not create themselves with free will to be good or evil. God did. Human beings can only be what God created them to be; good or evil. Human beings are not responsible for having been given the choice between Good and Evil. God is responsible for people being good or evil. If God created something that could be evil then God is not perfectly good. A perfectly good God cannot create something that can be evil. Perfect goodness is the absence of evil in anything that he creates. Choice is irrelevant because regardless of choice God created something that could be evil. Which is not perfectly good.

Also if God is perfect then he cannot create something that is imperfect. If God creates something that's imperfect then he has committed an act of imperfection. Which cannot be done if you are perfect.

@James25 actually there were angels who were good and they still rebelled and joined the dark side. It was out of their own intuition, regarless if our ancestor we handnt eating from the apple our fate would been much worse if we rebelled later.

@RisingMorningStar7 Angels who rebelled. This information is irrelevant. You are using information that cannot be proven to be true. And therefore cannot be used as an argument to validate your conclusions. Present an argument that does not rely on information that cannot be proven.

@James25 that makes no sense your cherry picking. An using part B but not A even though they both come from the same origins.

@RisingMorningStar7 if these Angels were perfect then they would not have rebelled against God. Something that is perfect cannot become imperfect. It simply means that they weren't perfect to begin with. Your point only proves that they were not perfect and neither is their God. You do not seem to understand simple logic and reasoning. If something is perfect it cannot do something that is imperfect. It is impossible for that to happen. And if it does happen it simply means they were not perfect in the first place.

The problem is that your belief system does not stand up to simple logic and reasoning. It contradicts itself. The problem is the belief system. Your understanding of god. It is full of inconsistencies misinformation and contradictions.

@James25 They were given the beatific vision of God and they said no to serve humans so they had no forgiveness for seeing something to beautiful, loving, pure. Angels had seeing the face of pure, loving, good God. We humans haven't that's why he forgives us.

@RisingMorningStar7 I cannot make sense of what you just said. You continue to ignore logic and reasoning. You continue to form arguments that have no validity. Now even sounding incoherent.

@RisingMorningStar7 nothing that you are saying actually makes any sense. You are speaking in a incoherent manner.
RisingMorningStar7 · 36-40, M
@James25 God didn't have to create evil for evil to exist if we have free will. A person is rightfully is responsible for his actions.
James25 · 61-69, M
@RisingMorningStar7 you exist at a lower level of understanding. You do not have the ability to understand the flaw in your reasoning. So you will keep defending something that doesn't make any sense. It is useless trying to explain the flaw in your reasoning and a waste of time.

@RisingMorningStar7 get back to me when you can structure a sentence and spell correctly. You are projecting. There are no facts in your argument nor is there reasoning or logic.

@RisingMorningStar7 let me ask you a question. Are you a trump supporter?
