MZTV 938: The Definition of "Evil"
Most Christians---if not all---think that evil and sin are interchangeable terms. They most certainly are not. To begin with, "evil" and "sin" represent two different Hebrew words. (Hebrew words do not overlap.) But because of their assumption, Christians think that God could not create evil (never mind that He says He does---Isaiah 45:7), otherwise (so they think), God would have to be a sinner.
What this gaggle of Scripture-deniers fails to realize is that, by removing the creation of evil from God's résumé (in a vainglorious attempt to rescue God from His own reckless statements), these Christians are ACTUALLY the ones making God a sinner. Here's how:
1) "Sin" means "to miss the mark," 2) but according to the popular theories, God never meant for evil to enter the universe. 3) Evil came into the universe ANYWAY, and thus, 4) this theory cannot help but make God a sinner in that God missed the mark by aiming for a perfect universe (a universe without evil), yet falling hopelessly short of it.
The teaching (and the truth) that God created evil is the only teaching that KEEPS God from the stain of sin The presence of evil is undeniable. If God didn't mean for it to come, then He is a sinner. But if He CREATED IT for a good purpose, then God did not sin in introducing it into His world. (He meant to do it.) Our teaching (Isaiah 45:7, "I create evil,") is the only teaching that preserves God's absolute sinlessness.
Try telling this to people who ignorantly think that evil is sin.
