Proverbs 16:4 -
(NASB) The LORD has made everything for its own purpose, Even the wicked for the day of evil.
(NIV) The LORD works out everything for his own ends--even the wicked for a day of disaster.
(NKJV) The LORD has made all for Himself, Yes, even the wicked for the day of doom.

Just because evil exists does not mean God is wrong. All falls within God's plan and purpose.



God's plan would not be that we would be perfect?

I say relative perfection

Mt 5,48
Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.

That is a directive to strive to behave like a Christian. We are all sinners, and Jesus was the only perfect man in all of history. Just because we cannot attain perfection does not mean we should not strive to do so, that is what this is telling us. The standard should be set at perfection, not at anything less.

Ya Jesus was perfect, obviously. How would anyone know though? And why didn't god create a simple world where everyone is happy and flying unicorns shit rainbows? Cause that's not what happens when scientifically explainable things happen

Our creation, death, heaven, love, hate, addiction, desire, God, Devil, Angel, Demon, time(is time infinite?), universe(is universe infinite?) cannot be satisfactorily explained.

Good luck in trying to figure your question out. Your question is even bigger question.

When one does something nice for someone that they know deserves it. You get this feeling. Feeling of warmth buzz like you know you did something worth it.

Like the immense power of the Universe doesn't annoy because you are a part of it, b/c you took action to furthur yourself in furthuring someone else.
