If God is in control of everything, why does evil still exist in this world? A reader posed this question recently to world-renowned evangelist Billy Graham as he wondered why the Devil gets blamed for every bad thing that happens. “Let me assure you that God is not responsible for the evil in the world, nor will He ever do anything evil or wrong,” Graham writes in an article for The Kansas City Star.
He then quotes Bible verse Deuteronomy 32:4, which says: “His works are perfect, and all His ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is He.” In the same vein, Graham says God will never tempt His children to do evil or make them do anything wrong. “Not only would that be against His perfect nature, but it also would defeat His plans for us, plans for good and not evil,” says Graham.

No!!! The CREATOR MAJESTIC GOD ALMIGHTY did not make this mess on earth!!! THE “fallen angels” DID! THE CREATOR MAJESTIC GOD ALMIGHTY HAS BEEN LONG SUFFERING watching it all.
Evil and sin do not survive in God’s presence. He vanquished all that comes directly from the Evil One. Satan and his followers rose up attempting a takeover of Heaven and over throw God’s sovereignty. Satan and all angels siding with him lost the battle and their place in Heaven. God threw them out mightily and condemned them all to live in Hell forever.
Great is Jahovah God. Satan my believe this is his hour in time but he is wrong. Father God and creator of all things, owns all things. Time and eternity are in God’s all powerful command.
The world’s chaos is not God’s doing. That is all on Satan and he is loudly laughing at man’s willingly falling into the traps he sets for their souls deceiving the heart and mind, fooling man into following the ways of evil, and away from God and salvation through Jesus, God’s Son.
Evil in this life are of Satan and are his tests of man’s resolve in seeking God in times of trouble. Satan rejoices every time his work is rewarded by man turning from God, cursing Him, and giving in to Satan in dispair.
Failing Satan’s tests is deciding for God and believing God’s Truth in all circumstanced. God, ultimately. will win and put Satan in chains forever.

The current state of the world is, because “WE ASKED FOR IT”. We have been taught by History and our parents the differences between good and evil. We have decided to categorize evil into groups of acceptable (fornication, adultery, drunkenness, gossip, envy, jealousy, business frauds and corruption etc), lesser evil (bribery, manslaughter, killings for good cause etc), good evil (white lies, alternative lifestyles, revenge etc.), and totally evil (murders, rape, stealing etc.). We have taught our current young generation that sex is a need, is a right, it can be had with anyone, as long as you are horny, its okay. We have accepted and agreed that it is wrong to abide by the standards of the Bible, they are too harsh and outdated. WE HAVE DONE THIS.. I think GOD let it happen so that we can no longer accuse Him of being unfair. We want a “DO WHAT YOU WANT” world, and we are getting it. NO ONE should blame GOD of not answering their prayers.. We are receiving the fruits of our deeds.. These are the results of disobedience to GOD and obedience to our philosophies, theories, self-power, self-believe rules. With all the EXPERTS of how things work (without a Creator), we should not even be asking “Why is GOD letting this things to happen?”. What GOD I ask?? We have taken Him out of our lives & public places. We have agreed that He does not exist, the minute we said “EVOLUTION”. How do we do this and dare to ask HIM, why evil?? The day we take responsibility of our own actions and realise that we are totally lost, then we will understand why we need Jesus to open our eyes. The Bible is simply past history, present stories and future stories in summary. Considering that it was written over a span of more than 4000 years and accurately tells us of the status of things that are happening to our world today, and we are witnessing today, it shows that truly the CREATOR Loves us all and warned us, but because we love evil to such an extent that we call what is good evil, and what is evil good, WE ARE GETTING WHAT WE WANT.
Logically speaking, if a manual of any device tells me to follow certain rules for the device to work perfectly, I put my trust in the creator of the device and follow the rules of the manual. Unless I had a say in its creation!!?? But because I did not, I will follow the rules.
