You are to show these things? What about when it comes to unrighteousness, wickedness, lawlessness, sin? You have great expectations so long as the solution is seen through rose colored glasses, but what about when the going gets rough?

@Emosaur It's been explmillions of times why evil is in the world but why God allows it to happen, I don't claim to know.
Our finite brains simply cannot comprehend an eternally infinite God.

@SoulKey But evil is subjective. Some things that are evil to God are not evil to others and to some God himself is evil. In some versions of the Bible, KJV for example, God is said to have created evil. The Hebrew word originally used has many different meanings, including evil. Also ugly, ungenerous, bad, gloomy and calamity. So, to a child being punished for disobeying their parents, that punishment is evil. Bad. Gloomy. Calamitous. God's creating of evil is in reference to his necessarily punishing his children. The best word to use in Isaiah 45:7 isn't evil as in the KJV, but calamity as used in other translations. Though evil is an acceptable translation. Because evil is subjective.
That doesn't fit in with your adaptation of the God concept. Accurate knowledge doesn't sound cool but it's much better than cool.
