Ok if God Knows everything, Like he says he dose.
22 And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever."
Genisis 2:22
Ok now that way you seemed to be saying it sounded like that because God knows all evil as well as good, and that he is ultamit power that how can he be good?
He can be good because he is not human, he dose not have a small mortal mind, the way god works is far greater then anything any human can comprehend.
And just an example, Just because you know how to build a nucular bomb, dosent mean you will.
Another reason why good and evil must exist is this, what is light, with out darkness. What is life worth with out Death, everthing must have an oposite, for the sake of balence. God is ultamit good knowing good and evil. Where as Evil or you could say the Devil, and all things that are not God, are evil, knowing Both good and evil. And what we live in is the existance of an eternal conflict between Good and Evil. The only way we can understand and appreciate good is to know evil.
But then again Iam not God, so what platform do a stand on that I can challenge concepts beyond the workings of man.
