be an alternative, a real choice God gives us. As difficult as this may be to accept, the choice God gives us is the freedom to choose evil over good, even though it breaks His heart. Are there consequences for the choices we make? Of course! There may be hell to pay for those who chose evil, such as those who abuse children. (I would not want to be in the shoes of some unrepentant child molester on judgment day!) Otherwise, where would God’s justice be in the universe if evil went unpunished? The second reason God could not be evil is because He wrote the rule book. By definition, God is the only one who can truly label good “good,” and evil “evil.” Whatever He says goes. Our judgments of God matter little. If God created us, who are we to sit in judgment of Him? We would be using brains that God created to criticize the one who made us. That would be like a character in a book criticizing the author for the way the book was written.
