God gave man free will, the right to choose between good and evil, so man could learn for himself the benefits of choosing good over evil. Giving man free will did not create evil, man is responsible for that, but hopefully man will learn to choose good. This physical earth plane is like a school for learning about yourself and learning to choose good.

]]> Comment on Where did Evil come from? by Rob http://www.aleroy.com/blog/2009/04/where-did-evil-come-from/comment-page-1/#comment-954 Rob Fri, 05 Mar 2010 11:59:09 +0000 http://www.aleroy.com/blog/?p=651#comment-954 It is hard for us to imagine that God is ultimately responsible for evil. On the one hand we say God is the source of all there is. On the other hand we acknowledge evil exists, but say God didn't create or allow it. It seems we somehow feel we're maligning God or blaming God, or judging God if we say God is responsible for evil. But hard as it might be to accept or understand, if God is the Source, then God is the Source. Everything, including that which we call evil eminates from and is part of God. If God did not create the duality we experience, then there is another source. Which is easier to accept: that God is the source of all, or that God is only the source of what is "good" and something else is the source of what is "evil"?
