Colossians 1:16 is plain as day; God created EVERYTHING. That includes evil.

It was more about your stance on infant damnation. What I would like from you is an explanation of how those "too young to know the difference" somehow bypass Jesus to get into Heaven.

God says (in the Bible He dictated) that he is 100% responsible for all evil and as the active party.
The evidence for this has been posted. Now if you've made up a different "God" in every way contradicting what actual God has dictated through The Prophets you need to show your source. I have read The Bible and know what God says about Himself. If you have a context explaining what God meant by "evil" or "hate" you do need to show it.

So here we are at an impasse, as we have provided plenty of Scripture to prove you wrong. Here are your ways out:
A. You can accept that the Scripture is correct when it says that EVERYONE who does not believe in Jesus and has not been baptized goes to Hell. No exclusion for babies.
B. You can reach the conclusion that the Scripture is wrong when it says that EVERYONE who does not believe in Jesus and has not been baptized goes to Hell. That means there are lies and contradictions in the Scripture, and that means all of it could be wrong - maybe there is no God after all?
There is no other option. Which answer to you chose - A or B? Please choose carefully, as the future of your eternal soul depends on it!

Exactly. He created the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and therefore, He created a door for the evil to enter the world. And He also said that He created evil (Isaiah 45:7). So yeah, we know that God created evil, because He said so Himself in His own Words (duly written down by the prophet Isaiah).

Im glad you now accept God as He has revealed Himself to be. Over the years people can drift away from a true understanding, sometimes because they are deceived by new ideas or sometimes just because they do things God has commanded us not to do.
I'm sure you can think of examples of both those.
- Worse than that is when someone sets out to mislead people deliberately. They know what God has explained for us in The Bible and in many cases have studied it in depth. Then they decide, quite consciously, to teach people something different.
- It could be as a type of fraud to get money for lavish and opulent lifestyles. What happens to the people who donate money is of little concern to these bottom feeders who'll make up any nonsense to keep the $˘ rolling in.
- Worse again are the ones having wholly depraved appetites. Who actually want. people to be doing things they don't want to do. That in itself is an outcome they desire, the overarching objective informing everything they say.
- Operated by standover merchants who find out what others don't. want to do or what frightens them and then somehow make them do those things.
- Suicide cults would be an example of this.
- Outright heathens who have no interest in God at all. All they want to do is freak out at sex orgies, drink cactus juice, eat toadstools, leap around dressed up like demented ostriches or wearing luminous goblin costumes.
- Everything in this case is geared to that end. Pagan shrines, blatant sex idols, temple prostitutes, the clothes they wear, the look in their eyes, the way they walk.
We know God is active in the world because He has told us so. He knows what those reprobates are doing, how they've made up different "gods" for themselves. In some cases they even think they're gods themselves. The Bible tells us that God will respond appropriately.
Obadiah 1:4 Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.
In order to do that, rather obviously, God must know all about the world He made. When people come up with new ideas (a better lamp oil maybe or an improved way to spin wool) they are not contradicting God.
There are other ideas however which do contradict God. Worshipping idols is one of them, superstitious systems of astrology another one. It's easy to know what we should do because God has told us, just as He's told us about Himself.
In both cases, to inform us and to correct us, God must know what He's talking about. People who contradict Him either don't. know what they're talking about or are deliberately teaching falsehood.
Psalm 94:10 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
By reading The Bible we can identify error when we see it in others and know whether they're making up "gods" for themselves.

Listing every type of opposition God would be a very lengthy process. Yoga is often done in pagan shrines and usually encouraged by new-age gurus. But they never seem to hate the people Jesus commanded us to hate and anyone "emptying themselves" is opening a conduit for demons. At least the guru will acknowledge this, describing it in terms of energy flows and magic meridians, but what he means is demons.
Another point often overlooked is the extreme materialism of it all. Creation may be considered in two aspects. The boundary is one's own skin. There is the inner aspect.—.inside the skin.—.feeling hungry, thirst, somatic perceptions of digestion and such like. These are strictly material things and are described as made up from cells such as liver cells or nerve cells and stuff. These are all physical entities. Even the nerves are chemical and nothing at all like an electrical circuit. Wires simply conduct electricity. Nerves generate their own signal chemically.
The other aspect is beyond the skin. Here we find other people, objects like tables and the moon. Wafting evening fragrances upon the breeze. All concrete things. But there are also immaterial things such as light and magnetic fields and gravity. It doesn't matter which theory you use to describe them, they are not material. I'm not saying they're "spiritual" but the point is that everything inside the skin IS material.
When a guru commands his victim to "empty their mind" and focus on "inner energies" the result is to disregard all perceptions other than somatic perceptions (however they're actually described, that's all they can be) which is the very opposite of Spiritual.
Satan likes it that way. "Love, love, love," he chants through the mouth of the guru. His victims empty themselves and the demons come flooding in.

I'm really encouraged to see how you're willing to search the Scriptures and to consider that you may have thought something not supported by God. There's plenty of things where God leaves decisions up to us, what type of olive oil to use, whether to buy a Ford or a horse, all sorts of things! But some things He has set out very clearly so that we will understand. These are the important things.
One of those things is that Christians do not practise evil. He even tells us what constitutes evil. Contradicting God is one of those things. On topics where He's offered no advice the choice is ours. There are other areas where advice is offered but no commandment made. One example is where Paul, discussing marriage and celibacy, gives some advice:
I Corinthians 7:10-16 Unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
I've shown the advice section in brown. You could compare this with I Corinthians 7:1-8 where connubial practices are discussed and where similarly the author states very clearly what God commands and what Paul advises.
Contradicting what God commands is evil, especially where one has read The Bible and knows what God has explained, what He has commanded and what He reveals about the future. The desire for rotten lucre in all its forms is behind such evil. Can you think of an example where a person or a corporation has contradicted God in order to accumulate wealth?
Remember to use Scripture to support your comments and if detailing wealth mountains obtained by contradicting God try to include some accounts or an estimate of real estate values, the latter being quite easy.

I can think of a reason of a person or company contradicting God Benny Hill. Benny his is known for his so called healing crusades. He had a television show which aired in over one hundred countries.
He owns a private jet and is very wealthy. The reason why this contradicts God is because God didnt intend for humans to live that rich.
When jesus delivered dealt with that rich young ruler in Mark 10:17-25 Jesus told him to sell all he has and give it to the poor, hes disheartened and goes away because he has alot of possessions.
Prosperity gospel always contradicts this verse as Christians are not supposed to be mega wealthy donors or preachers but they dont care because they are only in it for themselves.

I read that chapter of Mark. Thanks for posting it. Staying with The New Testament for the moment and considering the state of that rich young ruler's unregenerate soul, as we know it to be from his response to Christ's words, it is likely that his riches and his great possessions were not obtained ethically. He said he'd kept the commandments and Jesus did not dispute that but much of his wealth (as a ruler) would be inherited and however well behaved he was personally there could still be people suffering from the actions of tyrants (in a previous generation) whose actions had increased the young ruler's assets, in that case assets he'd inherited. Recompense would be appropriate, then, but Jesus did not say any of that: it's just an illustration from me. What Jesus did. say is this:
from Mark 10 Go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. The young ruler preferred to put his trust in riches rather than do what Jesus said even though he missed out on Salvation as a result. Christians on the other hand are renewed in Christ. He doesn't want us to starve or live in caves or do things to cause ruination. He wants us to prosper.
III John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. The salient point here is the condition of one's soul, not one's bank balance. There's an account in The Old Testament where a rich man is described as perfect and upright, who that feared God and eschewed evil. His substance was the greatest of all the men of the east. The difference is that Job did not trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God. When given a choice he chose to praise God even though he lost everything in fact not only did he lose everything got boils as well.
Job's prosperity was restored. Job 1:1-3; 42:12-16 We don't know what happened to the rich young ruler.

from Mark 10 Go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. The young ruler preferred to put his trust in riches rather than do what Jesus said even though he missed out on Salvation as a result. Christians on the other hand are renewed in Christ. He doesn't want us to starve or live in caves or do things to cause ruination. He wants us to prosper.
III John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. The salient point here is the condition of one's soul, not one's bank balance. There's an account in The Old Testament where a rich man is described as perfect and upright, who that feared God and eschewed evil. His substance was the greatest of all the men of the east. The difference is that Job did not trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God. When given a choice he chose to praise God even though he lost everything in fact not only did he lose everything got boils as well.
Job's prosperity was restored. Job 1:1-3; 42:12-16 We don't know what happened to the rich young ruler.

I understand what your trying to say but the prosperity gospel isn't good though
