And how does it just so happen that the God that created this universe is a holy God without sin? Perfect in every way?

How did we get that fortunate?

Could it just as easily have been a god of evil?

That’s what I wonder.

Thankfully the Godhead is not as evidenced by His willingness to sacrifice His Son to redeem us.

Nope, because "good" and "evil" are, by definition, that which does or doesn't conform to the will of God.

If God created everything, then God created evil and Satan. Omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent - God created everything, and knows everything, everywhere and for all time, including the future. Per Genesis, God put Adam and Eve in the Garden with the one substance in the universe which would destroy them and the one entity (whom he created) bent on that happening. He did this knowing they would eat from the tree. That’s love? That’s the ideal of fatherhood?

There was no fall of man, it was a push.

There's only one God and he decided what was sin and what was not...And just by looking around, I'd say he pegged it pretty good...
