Evil is the violation of, the rebellion against, the rejection of, the GOOD. The order created was good, true, life-enfused, holy, eternal......in short, it was perfect.

Who created man that He could rebel? Who created rebellion?

Rn, listen....the bible says ALL was GOOD. It also speaks against the thought that one would call "good, evil; and evil; good." I don't say it, the bible says it.

Evil was not created. Evil is VIOLATING the created order.

God is responsible for creating man. God is responsible for giving him free will. However, it is only a device of human logic that associates from that, that God is, therefore, the creator of evil.

The VIOLATING of God's will is what evil is. Evil was not created. All that created was called good. There is no similar verse that says in the creative days that something was called evil.
