Stoicism and Mental Struggles hi

Even, if the kid didn’t realize what would happen. I knew the possibility that someone would get hurt.

Ah but we are not kids who don’t know what we are doing. We know our actions are evil, hence why the Church says that a mortal sin must be done knowing that it is a sin.
The real situation is that God gave us all good gifts. And gave us commandments not to break. But we, using our free will, twisted the good things that God gave. That is evil. God didn’t force us, but we misused the good things God gave.

the creator of evil

I already explained that He did not create evil. God can’t create evil since He is all-good. Now, if you want you can try to debate that God is not good, then you case may be more logically coherent.

We did not put ourselves onto the temptation track. We did not create ourselves. He put an apple in front of us. He presented the temptation. He didn’t ask us to eat it, but he put it there. I do get the part that good corrects for evil, but he made the duality. He made all things possible. He decides to allow it and correct it. He is responsible for everything possible even if he doesn’t force us or make us do it. He gave us the knife. Does that make him evil? No, but he’s still the owner of the knife.

This is more of an issue with how God created us, not if God can create evil. I have already explained that He can’t create evil, since God is all-good by nature and therefore can’t go against His own nature, so He can’t do or create evil. But you have an issue with humans, and only with God because He created humans. Same as the potter and clay. You have an issue with potter because he made a vase that was used to do bad, when in reality it wasn’t the potters fault. This is where humility comes in, realizing that God can do anything that He wants, that is in accord with His nature, and that we are creatures who are given moral law to live by. If we fail to live by that moral law, then that is our fault not God because He gave us a good moral law. Humility and patience is what is needed.

I’m going to e depressed for the next few days now. I wish I never got on this forum. Pray I stay offline this week. Many thanks. I hate all the contradictions of Religion. It gets me depressed every dang time.

God loves you and always wants you to come to Him. But that choice is up to us. He will not force us, He will accept us when we come to Him in love.
