Did God create evil? by Fr. Gabriel Wissa

About this sermon

Did God create evil? In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit; One God, Amen. The popular question we hear is if God is Almighty and He is Love and He is aware of all things, why doesn’t He stop evil? Does He want evil? Is it possible for Him to have created evil in the first place? We ought to understand that the Bible clearly declares that God is Love and He has no place in Him for evil. We also need to understand that the purpose of the Bible is a story of Love between God and humanity and God has declared to us only what we need to know in regards to our salvation; namely, Who He is, Who we are and Why He needed to come and save us. God doesn’t declare How the world was created for example (although He declares the Why which is because He loves us) and He, by the same token, does not declare how evil came to be. The Bible rather focuses on fighting evil rather than explaining its origin… but one thing that is declared is that God is not the source of evil!
