This is tantamount of accusing God of evil that good may come

Doesn't God get to define evil? Would you call the distruction of Sodom..all the women and children evil? Or would you call it just?

"Doesn't God get to define evil?" Yes!

"Would you call the distruction of Sodom..all the women and children evil? Or would you call it just?" Since it is God that is defining evil (and justice), why ask me?

My point was only what Paul said about it being wrong to commit evil that good might come. If you have an argument with that, you'll have to take it up with Paul.

The TRUTH is, God sometimes removed His protection, in the Bible, off of sinning Hebrews-- not Gentiles, who didn't know Him. God said He would spare Sodom if there were even 10 righteous people-- indicating that God's protective hand depends on HIS people, (not those that don't know Him.) Falwell was wrong, and unBiblical, in his blame.
