In this episode Wayne and Tim dive into the perplexing question of the source of evil. What does the Bible tell us about its origins? Does it come from angels, men and/or God? The answers uncovered in scriptural examples challenge the conventional understanding of good versus evil. Join in the conversation as we establish an important foundation for our future studies concerning Satan, the Devil and Demons.
Key Verse:
“I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.” (Isaiah 45:7)

- What is the cause? An angel, men or God?

- God a source of natural evil (Isa. 45:5-7; Deut. 32:39; Job 2:10; 42:11). The false notion of God is good, Satan is evil.

- Only one God (John 17:3; Isa. 43:10-11; 44:8; 1 Thess. 1:9)

- Man’s freewill, the knowledge of good and evil (Gen. 2:16-17)

- Angels
- God is in control of the angels (Dan. 4:35; Psa. 103:20-21; Heb. 1:13-14).
- They do his will whether it be good or natural evil (Psa. 78:49; 1 Sam. 24:15-17; 1 Kings 22:19-23; Judges 9:23; 1 Sam. 16:14)
- Reading a quote that raises deeper questions. Can angels be a source of moral evil? Do angels have free will? Are they tempted like men?
