Is God Evil?

James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God can’t be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.

To we believe God created humans with a free will to chose good or bad for themselves? Now were not saying Government, religion, Commerce or this life doesn’t take our free will, no, but God.

If we believe God gave humans free will than we know why there is also evil! God did not create evil in his universe, angles, and humans chose evil. To be clear here, when law punishes us for breaking it, those enforcing it bring wrath on us, hence, an evil.

Romans 4:15 For the law always brings punishment on those who try to obey it. (The only way to avoid breaking the law is to have no law to break!)

God can bring evil {wrath} upon those violating his laws, but it is human who are under sin ( sin is evil to God) that make the choice.

Remember God is not in sin there is no evil therefore in God. Humans are born into sin subsequently its impossible for them to understand God is only good.

James1:16 Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers. 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow. 1:18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
