Evil Does Not Exist by James Aguilar (paper ebook reader txt) 📖

it clear that Jehovah was the Source of the resurrection. (John 11:41, 42) I believe in that as the Word of God speaks through the bible. Jehovah is not the blame for humans to suffer and age then die. We learn from the bible that mankind age then die because Adam became imperfect when he sinned, all his offspring inherited sin from him. Jehovah will correct this huge problem humans face today. When? If God did not create evil, then why does he let it occur still today in modern days? I believe in that the bible teaches true answers.
When Satan led Adam and Eve into sinning against God in the first book of the bible, he was really leading a rebellion. He was challenging Jehovah’s way of ruling. In effect, Satan was saying: ’God is a bad ruler. He tells lies and holds back good things from his subjects. Humans do not need to have God ruling his subjects. They can decide for themselves what is good and what is bad. They are better off under my ruler ship.’ How would God handle such an insulting challenge? Some think that God should simply have put the rebels to death. Would that have answered Satan’s challenge? Would it have proved that God’s way of ruling is right? I believe in that the bible teaches Jehovah’s perfect sense of justice would not allow him to put the rebels to death right away. He decided that time was needed to answer Satan’s challenge in a satisfying way and to prove that Satan the Devil is a liar. So God determined that he would permit humans to rule themselves for some time under Satan’s influence. We learned in history class that humans have tried all sorts of governments. Some were monarchy, feudal systems, and tribe leader ship. Today, we see all different kinds of government. Some are democracy, republican, communism, and socialist governments. Why Jehovah did that and why he has allowed so much time to pass before settle the suffering we see today? Now, though, it is good to think about this: Were Adam and Eve right to believe Satan, who had never done anything good for them? Was it right for them to believe that Jehovah, who had given them everything they had, is a cruel lair? What would we have done? It is good to think about these questions because each of us faces similar issues today. Yes, I believe the bible teaches we have the opportunity to support Jehovah’s side in answer to Satan’s challenge. We can accept Jehovah as your ruler and help to show that Satan is a liar. (Psalm 73:28; Proverbs 27:11) Sadly, only a few among the billions of people in this world make such a choice. Most of them do not even know the truth about mankind and the purpose for life. I believe in that the bible teaches the truth about mankind’s history of existence and who is really ruling us. This raises an important question; does the bible really teach that Satan the Devil rules this world?
Who rules this world? Jesus never doubted that Satan the Devil is the ruler of this world. In some miraculous way, Satan once showed Jesus “all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.” Satan then promised Jesus: “All these things I will give you if you fall down and do an act of worship to me” (Matthew 4:8, 9; Luke 4:5, 6). Think about this. Would that offer have been a temptation to Jesus if Satan was not the ruler of these kingdoms? Jesus did not deny that all these worldly governments were Satan’s. Surely, Jesus would have done that if Satan was not the power behind them. Of course, Jehovah is the almighty God, the creator of the marvelous universe. (Revelation 4:11) Yet, nowhere does the bible say that either Jehovah God or his son Jesus Christ is ruler of this world. In fact, Jesus specifically referred to Satan as “the ruler of this world.” (John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11) The bible even refers to Evil Satan the Devil as “the god of this system of things.” (2 Corinthians 4:3, 4) Regarding this opposer, or Satan, the Christian apostle John wrote: “The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one” (1 John 5:19). So, I believe in that the bible really does prove the Satan is the true ruler of the world we live today in modern days. Further proof that Satan is the influence is the governments we see today. Haman's lives are in stake when their country declares war. The economy falls and the citizen is the one who suffers and has to pay for the expensive war. Wars are everywhere. Most mankind thinks they are worshiping the true God and are confident He approves or lets the wars to happen. The Devil and his Demons are also Gods. Jehovah God warns mankind through Apostle Paul: “For even though there are those who are called “gods,” whether in heaven or on earth . . . there is actually to us one God the Father. . . And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are, and we through him” (1 Corinthians 8:5, 6). I believe in that the bible teaches in order to reach the only true God it is important to mention His name and ask it after his son. Jesus Christ is the only means for our prayers to reach the true God. Let’s not fall into Satan’s trickery. Then blame the real God for all the bad human ruling and suffering. There is further proof that God Jehovah is not the one that causes suffering and his not the one ruling today in modern days.
People of various religions have gone to their religious leaders and teachers to ask why there is so much suffering. Often, the response is that suffering is God’s will and that he long ago determined everything that would ever happen, including tragic events. Many are told God’s ways are mysterious or that he brings death upon people, even children, so he can have them in heaven with him. As we have learned, though, Jehovah God never causes what is bad. I believe in that the bible teaches: “Far be it from the true God to act wickedly, and the Almighty to act unjustly!” (Job 34:10). Does anybody know why people make the mistake of blaming God for all the suffering in the world? In many cases, I believe they blame Almighty God because they think that He is the real ruler of the world. They do not know a simple but important truth that the bible teaches. We learned that the true ruler is Satan the Devil. The bible clearly states: “The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one” (1 John 5:19). When we think about it, does that not make sense? I believe in that the bible teaches Satan the Devil’s world reflects the personality of the invisible spirit creature who is “misleading the entire inhabited earth.” (Revelation 12:9) Satan is hateful, deceptive, and cruel. So the world, under his influence, is full of hatred, deceit, and cruelty. That is one reason why there is so much suffering. A second reason why there is so much suffering is that, as discussed, mankind has been imperfect and sinful ever since the rebellion in the Garden of Eden. Sinful humans tend to struggle for dominance, and this result in wars, oppression, and suffering. (Ecclesiastes 4:1) I believe in that the bible teaches Jehovah God warns mankind for allowing them govern themselves through King Solomon: “All this I have seen. . . During the time that man has dominated man to his injury” (Ecclesiastes 8:9). He is allowing mankind govern to proof Satan the Devil that he is a liar. Remember Satan told Jehovah that mankind is better off ruling themselves and under his rule. Well, that’s what we see today in modern days the reflection of his bad influence in the worlds governments. A third reason for suffering is “time and unforeseen occurrences.” (Ecclesiastes 9:11) In a world without Jehovah as a protective Ruler, people may suffer because they happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. I believe it is very comforting to know what the bible really teaches because now we know that God does not cause suffering. He is not responsible for the wars, the crimes, the oppression, or even the natural disasters that cause people to suffer. Still, we need to know, why does Jehovah allow all this suffering? If he is the Almighty, he has the power to stop it. Why, then, does he hold back? The loving God that we have come to know must have a good reason. (1 John 4:8) A vital issue is raised.
I believe in that the answer is found in the first book of the bible. To find out why God allows suffering, we need to think back to the time when suffering began. When Satan led Adam and Eve into disobeying Jehovah, an important question was raised. Satan did not call into question Jehovah’s power. Even Satan the Devil knows that there is no limit to Jehovah’s power. Rather, Satan questioned Jehovah’s right to rule. Then by calling God a liar who withholds good from his subjects, Satan charged that Jehovah is a bad ruler. (Genesis 3:2-5) Satan implied that mankind would be better off without God’s Rulership. This was an attack on Jehovah’s sovereignty, His right to rule. I believe in that the bible teaches Adam and Eve rebelled against Jehovah. In effect, they said “We do not need Jehovah as our Ruler. We can decide for ourselves what is right and what is wrong.” How could Jehovah settle that issue? How could He teach all intelligent creatures that the rebels were wrong and that His way truly is best? Someone might say that God should simply have destroyed the rebels and made a fresh start. I believe in that the bible teaches Jehovah had started His purpose to fill the earth with the offspring of Adam and Eve, and He wanted them to live in an earthly paradise. (Genesis 1:28) Jehovah always fulfills his purposes. (Isaiah 55:10, 11) Besides that, getting rid of the rebels in Eden would not have answered the question that had been raised regarding Jehovah’s right to rule. Let us consider an illustration. Imagine that a teacher is telling his student how to solve a difficult problem. A clever but rebellious student claims that the teacher’s way of solving the problem is wrong. Implying that the teacher is not capable, this rebel insists that he knows a much better way to solve the problem. Some students think that he is right, and they also become rebellious. What would the teacher do? If he throws the rebels out of the class, what will be the effect on the other students? Will they not believe that their fellow student and those who joined him are right? All the other students in the class might lose respect for the teacher, thinking that he is afraid of being proved wrong. Let’s suppose that the teacher allows the rebel to show the class how he would solve the problem.
I believe in that the bible teaches Jehovah has done something similar to what the teacher does. Remember that the rebels in Eden were not the only ones involved. Millions of angels were watching. (Job 38:7; Daniel 7:10) How Jehovah handled the rebellion would greatly affect all those angels and eventually all intelligent creation. So, what has Jehovah done? He has allowed Satan to show how he would rule mankind. (John 12:31) God has also allowed humans to govern themselves under Satan’s guidance. The teacher in our illustration knows that the rebel and the students on his side are wrong. He also knows that
