That's worthy of another thread. Is God responsible for evil?

Good idea. Start the thread if you like. I wish the archived discussions still existed. We had some very spirited discussions on the subject.

In response to Others who raised the dead posted by Migisi:

God did give Lucifer supernatural power when he created him. When Lucifer and a third of the angels rebelled and were cast out of heaven, God allowed them to retain their powers. So, yes, Lucifer is FROM God. But he is not doing God's bidding at this point. Quite the opposite.

God allowed them to retain their powers.

Why? Surely God knew beforehand that they'd misuse them. Why didn't God revoke those supernatural powers to punish their rebellion? He had that power, didn't he? From Bible accounts, God didn't seem to have any problem punishing his human enemies. By God allowing retention of their supernatural powers, he basically gave them his permission to use them. And that, to me, means God is ultimately responsible for what Lucifer and his minions do.

Curious. What is God's bidding - at this point?

My question is that I wonder why we need supernatural happenings in the first place.

And it's a good question, IMO. 'Shock and awe' to make people believe in the unexplainable?
