"when God created man to have the capacity to do evil, that means God must have something to do with evil or must be of evil." So didn't God create evil?
< STRONG No. If you designed a good car, did you design bad drivers?
If you create a good car, and have a person drive the car, that person has free will and is responsible for the car. You give him rules and commandments to follow to take good care of the car and to have a good relationship with you. This person by his freewill doesn't follow the rules and gets into an accident. Does this mean you are responsible for the accident?
Also, if this were a serious situation, since the person violated you, you may wish to punish him. The punishment may be permanent loss of a job. Or in the case of a spy, death due to betrayal.
>> But God created freewill, and freewill to do evil.
So He did create evil?
< Creating freewill is not equivalent to creating evil.
Freewill to do good or evil is mysterious. How can it be created is beyond comprehension. But it doesn't mean God created evil.
