Sympathy for JEHOVAH.

If you are inclined to accept the case for design you may have also mused on the paradox of evil ,no one ever muses on the presence of good for some reason or the other, but the first thing to notice is that even reductive  materialists can't abandon the suggestion of teleology, after all to suggest that an act or state of affairs is objectively good or evil is to imply that there is some proper way to act or that affairs ought to occur, why would that be the case in the atheist universe. The best that we can hope for there would be subjective (and unauthoritative) preferences. The real question is does the presence of objective moral evil leave our creator open to an accusation of cruelty/injustice is JEHOVAH practicing what he preaches? 

Matthew7:12KJV"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them:... "  

Firstly the idea that it would be proper to be suspicious of JEHOVAH'S motives is illogical. 

Psalms50:9-12KJV"9I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.

10For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.

11I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.

12If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof."

 Everything we have came from JEHOVAH including our bodies ,the life in them and all that is needed for their sustenance and flourishing. It is not He that is in debt to us it is we who are in debt to him, also it is not He who needs us it is we who need Him. So there is no profit to be had by JEHOVAH from his creation. Having self respect he does derive a certain aesthetic pleasure watching his  children made in his image flourish especially in terms of their mental,moral and spiritual development 

 Genesis5:2KJV"Male and female created he them; and BLESSED them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created."

 

Proverbs27:11KJV"My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me." 

Though the origin of wickedness was not a part of JEHOVAH'S design. JEHOVAH has gamed the enemy by using it's temporary presence in the world as one of his tools in fashioning a new man one with incorruptible loyalty to his maker. With JEHOVAH'S help this new race founded by the second Adam will conquer evil to JEHOVAH'S glory. 

Genesis3:15KJV"And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." 

 Romans16:20KJV"And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen." 

 Another thing to bear in mind is that no one has suffered more during this temporary permission of evil than JEHOVAH Himself in the hard hearted egocentric culture that dominates the present civilisation,this would be a difficult case to make  but the scriptures which are a portion of JEHOVAH'S mind in documented form state. Zechariah 2:8CSB"For the LORD of Armies says this: “In pursuit of his glory, he sent me against the nations plundering you, for whoever touches you touches the pupil of my eye." 

We know only our own pain JEHOVAH feels everyone's pain. And there is no escape for him not in sleep nor in death nor strong drink 24/7,month in month out ,year in year out ,millennia in millennia out without let up. A master class in willingly suffering for the greater good. 

We his loyalists pronounce our Lord JEHOVAH Righteous.
