Eternal good and evil.

I'll have a picture up later.
If God is all good then why is there evil in this world? I’ve stated earlier why I don’t think God is all powerful, but now I’ve come to a question which has been bugging philosophers for hundreds of years. I will not presume myself to be smarter then the thousands who have come before me who’ve tried to solve this problem of evil, but I will at the very least give my two cents.

If God is not all powerful then that still allows Him to be all good. Here’s the question though, is God all good because He cannot be evil, or because He chooses not to? If God is supremely powerful how would it be possible for us, His creations, to do something which He Himself is incapable of doing, IE sinning? I don't think God can do the logically impossible (IE count to the highest number or something like that) but by the very act of sinning it is made known that sinning is logically possible, otherwise God wouldn't find it necessary to warn us to do the right thing.

So back to the question, if God creates us and we can sin is it then impossible for God to sin as well? If He can't, that is something we humans posses the ability to do that He doesn't have, giving us more power then Him in that area. If we had power that God did not, could we still consider God to be God?

So I think God is good not because He is incapable of doing evil, but because He CHOOSES to be good. If God could not do wrong, and He could not do otherwise by being good, that would mean God Himself has no free will and is controlled by pre-existing laws. If that were true, He couldn't' really be called God, not in the way we think of Him. So God has free will to choose to be good or evil, and He chooses to be good (we can only assume that much anyway).

But if God chose to be good, then that means He didn't create good or evil and that they existed for all eternity with Him (almost said before Him, but that wouldn't make sense because if there is a God [which, again, I'm assuming to be true based on my knowledge, although I can never know for sure] then there is no before Him is there?). So, good and evil have existed for all eternity with God as choices to be made, and God chose to be good as a free being capable of independent thought.

Then God created angels which I will also assume had free will. The devil decided as a free being to be evil, not because God MADE him an evil being, but because God made him a free being (another question worth discussing is whether or not God COULD know how Satin would act if Satin was a free being). Satin chose evil in much the same way God chose good.

So now here comes humanity. If we are truly free beings then we, like God, would also have the ability to freely choose between the good and evil which already exist. Sometimes we chose good, sometimes we chose evil, but in either case God didn't create either, He merely chose one and allowed us the same ability to chose one for ourselves.

Well that’s my theory at least.
