This must be an obvious question and as it is well known that God is omnipotent and has created Heaven & Earth, why is this not explained in the bible? Or is it?
yes boxtops is right! And he's also the on that we were threatened with as children, as in ' the devil will come and punish you if you are bad'.................
According to the cathar religion God is the devil but they were murdered in their thousands by the christians in the twefth century, so perhaps they had a point.
I don't know about the origin, the devil, satan, or whatever it is called. Sometimes I feel it (evil?) is following me around. I also don't think one should focus long on "evil" because bad things will happen. I really shouln't be writing this.
