Why did god let the devil serpent into the garden? [Spirituality & Religion]

@SW-User

Sorry, i don't follow

@Pikachu Not surprised

@SW-User


Beg pardon, that was meant as an invitation for you to clarify the idea that you were trying to convey.

@Pikachu Pretty simple I think.

@SW-User

Nevertheless, your idea has not been conveyed to me.
Feel free to elaborate.

@Pikachu Don't understand what's so hard? Pretty straightforward. What don't you get?

@SW-User

No way to know. Although it seems that in the time it's taken you to make those three posts you could have simply attempted to explain your point.

If genuine communication is your goal, please do so now.

@SW-User Who's free will put Satan in the Garden of Eden?

@Pikachu Did you go to college or something? What is so hard to understand?

@CookieLuvsBunny Wouldn't it be God's?

@SW-User
Why do you believe God created Satan?

@CookieLuvsBunny Well, if God created everything, that would include Satan would it not? How could Satan create himself?

@SW-User

Either you haven't thought out your position enough to clearly convey it to someone else or you are not interested in a legitimate discussion.

So which is it?

@Pikachu Or, you simply aren't smart enough to comprehend. What's tripping you up?

@SW-User

Exactly right. So why did God create evil?

@SW-User

You've made your choice.
You're welcome back when you decide your priority is discussion.

@CookieLuvsBunny If there's no evil, how would you know what's good?

@Pikachu If you can't understand something so simple, it's not my problem.

@SW-User
I would Know what was good because it is good. I've never been in prison but I know I would much rather be free

@CookieLuvsBunny How do you know initially? Yeah, not being in prison is a given. Though, some prisoners would tell you that they like it better in there.

@SW-User
If evil didn't exist there would be no qualitative difference to recognize

@CookieLuvsBunny Well, if everything is good then nothing is good, and vice versa. Why do people choose to do evil?

@SW-User

That is a false platitude
