Is God evil? If He is not evil, than is the devil better at being evil?
God is all powerful. God is the ultimate at everything. No one and nothing is greater than God at anything? Does that mean God is more evil than Satan? If not does that then mean that Satan, or any evil person, is greater than God?
Okay maybe this is a little confusing. If the Devil and God got into a who can be more evil contest, would god win?
What cop out answers. How can anything exist w/o god creating it? Evil originated by god. He created it. I was asking if he is better at than the devil.

By definition, - God is good, not evil.
But the mystery of inequity recognizes that we don't know how evil originated. But it starts with rebellion.

Firstly evil is not a created `Thing` but a moral and free will choice to disobey the will of God Who is all goodness itself.
God cannot be untrue to His own nature so therefore God cannot ever be evil.
Satan although created good chose to use his will against God and reject the holy order that God created for him and all creation too.
Evil is not greater than good even if it sometimes appears so,the fact that Gods plan for a new creation(in and through Christ) is coming to completion means that evil will no longer be a factor for humanity when all is fufilled.
God bless.

James 1: 12 - 15
Happy is the man that keeps on enduring trial, because on becoming approved he will receive the crown of life, which Jehovah promised to those who continue loving him. When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone. But each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by his own desire. Then the desire, when it has become fertile, gives birth to sin; in turn, sin, when it has been accomplished, brings forth death.

2 Peter 3: 8 - 10
"However, let this one fact not be escaping YOUR notice, beloved ones, that one day is with GOD as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. GOD is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with YOU because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance. Yet GOD'S day will come as a thief..."

Psalms 37: 8 - 11:
Let anger alone and leave rage; Do not show yourself heated up only to do evil. For evildoers themselves will be cut off, But those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth. And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more; And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace

I hope this has helped and remember that accurate knowledge leads to everlasting life.

No, God is not evil. You have bought a satan's lie when you think like that. God is all powerful, He can save you from eternal hell, satan wants you in hell.

..I used to bully Jehovah in school. He only claims to be almighty. But believe me, he's weak when it comes to his adopted son, Jesus. He still wet the bed when he was 15.
