Argument: Accusing God of Evil is an Unintentional Acknowledgment of God

1. Moral Categories Require an Absolute Standard

When someone says “God is evil”, they are making a moral judgment.
But good and evil are not subjective opinions — they require an objective, transcendent moral standard.

Where does that standard come from?

  • Atheistic/materialistic worldviews have no solid foundation for objective morality.
  • The very concepts of good and evil point beyond human opinion to a higher Lawgiver.

2. You Can't Accuse a Non-Existent Being

To call God “evil” assumes:

  • There is a God to accuse.
  • That God has the ability to act (good or evil), unlike lifeless idols (Isaiah 41:21-24).

If God didn’t exist, there would be nothing to call evil — it would be meaningless.

3. Irony: In Denouncing God, They Affirm His Existence

When non-Christians accuse God of being cruel, unjust, or evil, they:

  • Recognize God’s real, sovereign actions.
  • Acknowledge moral categories (good/evil) that only make sense if there’s a higher authority.
  • Prove He is not an idol (powerless, silent, man-made), but a living, active God who intervenes in history.

4. Conclusion:

By accusing God of evil, non-believers inadvertently affirm two things: that God exists, and that there is an objective standard of good and evil — both of which point back to God Himself. Idols don’t get accused; only the true, living God does.

Did Ishmael’s Descendants Abandon God? A Biblical Response to Islamic Claims

Did Ishmael’s Descendants Abandon God? A Biblical and Historical Analysis Introduction: Ishmael, Islam, and the Covenant Muslims often claim Islam is the continuation of Abraham’s faith through Ishmael’s line. But does history and Scripture support this claim? A closer look reveals that the descendants of Ishmael abandoned the God of Abraham long before Muhammad appeared. Far from preserving covenant faith, they turned to idol worship, breaking their link to Abraham’s God. This fact carries serious implications for Islamic theology and its claim to continuity with biblical revelation. God’s Blessing on Ishmael: Separate from the Covenant Genesis 16–17 tells us Ishmael was blessed. God promised Abraham that Ishmael would father twelve princes and become a great nation (Genesis 17:20). However, when Abraham pleaded, “Oh, that Ishmael might live before You!” God replied, “But My covenant I will establish with Isaac” (Genesis 17:21). Ishmael received temporal blessings, no...
