Good and evil have always been from eternity to eternity.
They were not created and can't be destroyed.
When God created man, he hid the knowledge of Good and evil in a fruit 🍑.
By eating the fruit, man chose to have this knowledge.
Without the knowledge of Good and evil, man cannot become like God.
It was the first step in becoming like our Father in heaven.

Warped

Another mad post.

So that all may know, from where the sun rises to where it sets, that there is none but Me; I am the LORD, and there is no other. I form the light and create the darkness; I bring prosperity and create calamity. I, the LORD, do all these things.
Isaiah 45:7

What calamity did "the LORD" create?

So why punish man for what has been in existence even before his creation.

A gun was in existence before you were born and you know why you are punished for possessing one, so no issue here

When man ate the fruit he stopped being like God.

But Allah said that evil is from him, are you calling Allah a liar?

.... If some good befalls them, they say "This is from Allah". But if evil, they say "This is from thee" (O prophet). Say: "All things are from Allah....
-Quran 4:78

A pity

What is the relevance of this post to the OP's?

Isaiah 45:7 agrees with the Quranic verse you post.

But truly I say to thee, let no man say this is good or that is bad, for there's really nothing good or anything bad. That is why the ancestors say one man's food can be another's poison.

It's like a man that snatches a bird from the claws of an hungry cat. Is that good or bad? It's good to save the bird yet very evil to deprive another from their daily bread....

We're talking about Yahweh here, not Allah. Get a grip on reality

So is murder good or bad, according to your opinion?

Depends

There is punishment for choosing evil. When we choose evil, evil befalls us. That's called justice.

22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

So you are saying evil is good?

I prefer to take God's word over your. Eating the fruit made man more like God not less. But then if you have a verse that says otherwise I am open to learn.

jaephoenix:

No I am saying God did not make evil. Evil and Good are eternal. None was created

jaephoenix:

Did I respond to you, the person I responded to does not worship Yahweh, he worships Allah and Allah is guilty of what he was accusing Yahweh of.

To you, stop interfering in what you know nothing about before you carry load wey no be your own!

AntiChristian:

You mention them if you know!
Some of the names of Allah is exactly like that of satan the deceiver!

Good and evil are only a man's perspective

Nature(God) knows no such..

jaephoenix:

On what

Who, what, where, and when.

Good and evil is subjective

God created man and gave him an option: Either to do good or embrace evil and die spiritually.

Good and evil are man's intent that is a consequence of the free-will man is subject to.

To do good is to adhere to the Supreme Will of God. To do evil therefore is a deviation from God's Will and plan for man.

It is man's inclination to evil while appears more alluring that destroys man and subjects him to eternal damnation.

tctrills:

I prefer to take God's word over your. Eating the fruit made man more like God not less. But then if you have a verse that says otherwise I am open to learn.

Some hundred years after eating of fruit, God repented he made man, whom you think became like God by eating fruit? Adam was able to accurately name all animals and creatures without giving a name to two different creatures, who after him was able to come close? Adam was commanded to dress and keep the land, imagine how big the earth is, without some strange ability that wouldn't have been possible yet God told him to because God knew he had the ability to, can God tell any man today to dress the whole earth, join all the strength of your ancestors together you'd still fail to dress only your village. Whenever God visited Adam and Eve, they knew he was around and they had wonderous moments together, after the fall hearing God's voice became a challenge, his voice became a problem they have to avoid, just like some men still don't want to seek him because of his standard, they hide from his face like Adam and Eve, they lost their boldness. So they became more like God? In what ways exactly? In knowing good and evil which was never God's purpose for them, they were to be led, moved and carried by the Holy Spirit through the stages of their lives, but got exposed to satanic attacks. So they became more like God? And their sons and daughters? Check your society, check for innocence, check for righteousness, check for uprightness, check for holiness, check for God's power, if you see any of this as common then you lie.

GOOD AND EVIL EXIST IN GOD. THAT'S WHY HE'S THE SUPREME SPIRIT.

Are you saying there are no standards to know what is good and evil?
