Do you want the quick answer? If you said yes, then the answer is both Yes and No.
Now if you want to know the explicit details of the quick answer, then read on.

In today's' societies most people, when presented with an answer to a question that has more than one possibility, will automatically assume the simplest and most direct possibility. Why? Human Nature (The Nature of "SELF-indulgence&quo t;) is unfortunately inherently lazy. When I was teaching High School, I actually got some amusingly honest answers from some of my students, when they were pressed as to why they didn't make the effort to accomplish even some of the simplest tasks. That answer was invariably, "It makes my brain hurt." To which I would often say, "No pain no gain." This seemed to at least motivate some of "The Jocks." And while "No pain no gain" may have motivated a few High School students, YHVH expects HIS CHILDREN to be motivated by a Spirit of Love. Now I know that most of you that are reading this will already know that our Creator YHVH is The G-d of LOVE (not lust). So how is it that The Mighty EL of Love can create evil? At this point I almost always have to remind my readers that in the Real World and Spiritual World things are NOT always Black & White, Right & Wrong OR Yes & No. Why? Because YHVH does NOT judge our outward appearance or actions, but the hidden and real "Intent of Our Hearts" (Hebrews 4:12). Therefore, when we begin looking into the real answer to this question, we too must look at "The Intent of YHVH's Heart" (Holy Spirit of Love). So let's examine some Bible verses and check out a key word or two in our Strong's Concordances.
