Origin of Evil

God created everything good, He emphasized on this throughout the first chapter of Genesis and when he finished the creation work, he says;

Genesis 1:31 Now God saw all that he had made, and indeed, it was very good! The twilight and the dawn were the sixth day.

If God created evil, then everything is his fault, and if he doesn't, evil is eternal and equal with him. Evil has to have a beginning. Many of us must have heard one or two things about human nature or sinful nature or original sin. An evil nature is the absence of God and good, as darkness is the absence of light, and We inherit this nature from Adam and Eve. Evil is simply the choice not to love God, and to be separated from him, we inherited this ability to make choice between Good and evil from Adam and Eve. Such an internal nature produces evil actions and circumstances. Since Jesus came to reconcile us back to God and ends all evil, we could see in his statement he tackled the origin of sin squarely. He says;

Matthew 22:37-38 37 Jesus told him, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and most important commandment.

The place we have found ourselves in today is not God's fault. Satan started this and we bought it. We in conjunction with Satan damaged our world, the more we take God out of the picture, the more Evils we Will experience. If evil is the choice not to love God, then why did that ability to make the choice comes from? It seems to me that's the specific area to dig in order to know the true origin of Evil. The origin of evil is the freewill God gave to Angels and Humans, that's where ability to love and not to love God came from. We can make choices. Loving , obeying and trusting God is a possibility and to do the opposite is another. There must be more than one possibility before a freewill can exist, you don't have a freewill when you don't have a choice to make. We have chosen other possibilities which results in to evils and sufferings. You may now be struggling with the part that loving God is the solution, and argue that religious people do more harm to our environment than those who doesn't believe in God. Listen to me, because some folks claim that they worship God and doing terrible things doesn't annull the fact that loving God is all we need. If you love God, you are going to love your neighbours, you won't intentionally hurt them. Your argument is basically saying, If loving "A" is making someone to kill another or endangered others, we should stop loving "A". Or if someone claimed he or she loves "A" and do bad things in the name of loving "A", we should stop loving "A". All we have left is still hatred? In every aspect of life, everyone does things for different motive or reason. Such argument could only mean "Love" is bad.
