When you check your Bible for the accuracy of these selected C&Vs, note to yourself if it is God or Satan who is documented to create evil. And, if you really don't care - ask yourself - why?
Isaiah 45:7 God said: I form the light and create darkness. I make peace and create evil. I, God do these things.
I form the Light and Create Darkness I make Peace and Ceate Evil
Laminations 3:38 God said: That I may repent of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings.
Jeremiah 11:11 God said: I will bring evil upon them, which they cannot escape. Though they cry, I will not listen to them.
Ah - what compassion!
Jeremiah 14:16 God said: … I will pour their wickedness upon them.
So - God is going to be as evil as they are?
Some might defend that these references to God creating evil are “taken out of context”? Yes - but, if you are a realist, you will have to realize that regardless - God creates evil. Besides, each C&V has an importance and a context of its own. Doesn't it?
Jeremiah 18:11 God said: I frame evil against you.
Jeremiah 19:3 God said: Behold, I will bring evil upon this place.
Jeremiah 19:15 God said: I will bring upon this city evil because they don’t obey Me.
Jeremiah 23:12 God said: I will bring evil upon them…
I Will Bring Evil Upon Them
The “out of context” excuse doesn’t matter as all who create evil have personal reasons to create it.
Jeremiah 26:3 God said: All the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.
Jeremiah 32:42 God said: As I have brought great evil so will I do the good I promised them.
Praise and punishment are the tools of dog training.
Jeremiah 35:17 God said: Behold, I will bring all the evil on Judah and Jerusalem that I have pronounced against them.
Jeremiah 36:31 God said: I will bring evil upon him, his seed and his servants…
Behold: Due to the sins of the father, God punishes the father, his children and those who work for him. What is "just and fair" about that?
Jeremiah 40:2 God has placed evil upon this place.
Jeremiah 42:10 God repented of the evil He did to someone.
This Bible, C&V, proves that God is not perfect / infallible or truly in control. It documents that God makes mistakes. Doesn't it? If you don't think so - would you know a mistake if you saw it? One who is infected by "The God Virus" could not see God's evil nor His mistakes.
Jeremiah 42:17 God said: Men shall die of the sword, famine and pestilence and none will escape the evil I will bring upon them.
Famine and Pestilence
Jeremiah 44:2 God said: You have seen all the evil I have brought upon Jerusalem and Judah…
Jeremiah 45:5 God said: If you seek things for yourself - do not - for I will bring evil upon all flesh…
Jeremiah 49:37 God said: I will bring evil upon them - even my fierce anger…
Jeremiah 51:64 Babylon shall sink and shall not rise from the evil I will bring upon her.
Babylon shall sink
Can you name a more evil or angry character than God in the entire Bible? Can you name someone in the Bible who is more miserable than the Biblical God?
Ezekiel 6:10 God said: They shall know that I am God and that I have not said in vain that I will do this evil to them.
Ezekiel 20:25-26 God said: As I have brought great evil upon these people…
How does all of God’s love for humanity show up within these selected Bible C&Vs?
Micah 2:3 God said: Against this family I devise an evil…
1 Kings 21:29 God said: Because Ahab humbled himself before Me, I will not bring evil upon him - but I will put evil on his son’s house.
How many more examples would you need to know that the Biblical God is 'evil' and not "just and fair"?
2 Chronicles 34:24 God said: I will bring evil upon this place upon its people including all the curses written in the book…
Amos 3:6 Shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it?
Evil in a City
Conclusion: The God of the Bible is not a good God and the Bible is not a good model for humanity.
It is time for them to be retired to the Smithsonian Institute Library as the worst and the most destructive model ever for humanity. GWD
