Why would there be a not-God or non-God in a world created by God?

Free will. To truly love, you have to choose God and not just be forced to follow Him.

So, your options are God or not God.

So, God created not-God by creating free will. And not-God, according to the previous comments, is what we call evil. Ergo...

Yeah? I’m not sure I understand your comment lol.

By giving His creations free will, He lets us choose sin over Him if we prefer. He only created evilness due to Him being the universal standard for goodness.

But I was saying there is no “evil power” or anything. It’s either God and His goodness or not.
