Are Humans Evil? What Does God Say In The Bible?

This post explores what the Bible clearly says about human evil, God’s sovereignty, and the limits of artificial intelligence in understanding divine truth. By examining direct words spoken by God and Jesus in Scripture, it highlights why believers should rely on God’s revealed Word rather than computer programs for spiritual discernment. The post walks through key verses from Genesis, Matthew, John, Jeremiah, and Isaiah to show that while humanity is described as evil, God’s ultimate desire is righteousness, peace, and redemption.

The answer is yes God did speak about it in the Bible. I asked AI this question and it doesn't give words out of the mouth of God, so I wonder if it only has the ability to use quotes from other people on the topic not what God said in the Bible. So maybe AI is not capable of knowing what words in the Bible are spoken by God. AI is not your God and isn't able to give just quotes about it from scripture, so we need to be careful.  Computer programs are not led of the Lord, people are.

So I did a search on the word "evil" in my computer Bible to see what all God had to say about us.  I will mention just a few.

Genesis 6:5 (KJV) And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 

So God destroyed the humans off the face of the earth saving Noah and his family.  Yet even after that God mentions this verse regarding man. 

Genesis 8:21 (KJV) And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. 

So I looked as I also knew Yeshua (Jesus) did say we humans were evil also with these. 

Matthew 7:11 (KJV) If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?  

 John 8:44 (KJV) Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

 I knew the Lord created evil even though he didn't desire evil in the garden of eden and it was man that ate of the tree they were forbidden to eat from.

So I pray the Lord will rain down righteousness on all people and grant us all the thoughts that God himself said He has for us for peace not for evil.  I ask His thoughts be done for us. Amen

Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV)  For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.  

Isaiah 45:7-8 (KJV) I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.  

Prayer and the word *If*

With the Bible software I have, I can check mark just words spoken by Jesus Christ, the words in red. The word "If" is used just in the book of Matthew 53 times and in the book of John 59 times. So spoken by Christ. For this post I am just going to focus on it where most pray and should they not get answer to prayer they simply don't know where to look or what to do. Christians today and for many years have focused on the Epistles of Paul and not on the Gospels of Messiah's words to us. Then wonder why prayer is not answered. One verse regarding this is John:

John 15:7 (KJV) If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

So the first question would be "Do Jesus Christ's words abide in you?". With today's church the answer would be no. We need a good foundation of Jesus words in us. There are many "if" statements regarding the words of Jesus. I chose this particular one as people will get upset if prayer is not answered and never ask the Lord about it or seek the Lord thru the words of Jesus.

John 14:23 (KJV) Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 

A Desire To Know Who The Betrothed Was Ho 2:19

 Running into the verse :

Hosea 2:19 (KJV) And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies. 

I was curious as to who this might be.  So I listened and did read Hosea 1-3 yet back at the betrothed I was.  So I focused on that paragraph and what God had said: wondering how He could remove baal and baalim out of her mouth.

So I went to google translate, now the first time I did enter the words "baalim baali ishi " it came up sheep sheep sheep in the language of oromo which is in Africa.  Then my translator didn't work and brought up swahili which uses the word so I typed it there it said "the day of Baal".  I changed the words around using vs 16 and 17:

16 And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali. ¹⁷ For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name. 

I typed in "Ishi baali baalim" the meaning was "she is a shepherd" but I had to go find just that language translator so used http://www.onlinetranslationpro.com/oromo-to-english-translation then doing last word first it was sheep sheep sheep.

 Today I did more searching, looking up the top different languages in Africa and tested them and all use the word Baal in them, except for oromo language.  I was shocked to find there were over 3000 languages thought to be in Africa, I only tested the first six or seven.

Listened to Matthew 5 today

After receiving my word for today, I listened then to Matthew 5for my hearing of the word of God. It is a good habbit to get into to listen to the word being read to you. I did post what first came to mind on the word scharpening site. After listening and reading the verse that stood out to me, of course to being an older woman was this:

Matthew 5:15 (KJV) Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

"it giveth light to all that are in the house" stood out to me. Thinking of even within our homes, do you have out to be seen by any that enter into your house things of the word of God? Is your Bible out in the open. Just asking. I have a box of Jesus words only with cards of the scriptures of Christ only. Very hard to find... just one box is there with just the words of Christ.

 This box is opened and at the dining room table next to my laptop opened with the words, so 4 cards can be viewed at a time as when I go to the next words, I discard the old ones for the day to the lid and leave them face up also. A gal who came into the house saw them and loved them and asked where I got them and how much they cost.  We talked a bit about them and she asked where I got them.  I told her amazon and they are the only ones I found that are just the words of Jesus.  Told her to do a search for "words of Jesus cards" .

I change them daily and have my daily verses for myself for the day.  I just love them, they are better than a horror scope is what I call it  haha.  Be fed a daily word to start your day.. They will bless you.  Leave them out on a table to be seen.. they do have an attention draw to them vs a Bible.. They will be blessed with a scripture or two and maybe start a conversation about the Lord.  I need to buy a second box for my living room, even my grandchildren who can read see's them.  The color red makes a read curiosity for children.  A witness then you can be for the Lord as Peter said:

1 Peter 3:15 (KJV) But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 

Psalm 60:4 (KJV) Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
