I thought more on this and I think I've developed my thought further beyond the Calvinistic sense of "inherency" that it sounds like. As such, I've also changed my mind. God can't create anything that is evil, of course, but this "inherent evil" isn't a process of something that we are all born with like a hereditary illness, but rather a decision we all happen to make by our fallen wills (thus making it inherent). The fallen nature of humanity leads to the capability of evil that we (we as in all who are currently alive at this moment) have all knowingly acted on at one point or another while alive and that we still fall into acting on, thus making us all evildoers by doing evil acts. However, the acts are evil, rather than us, so we are not evil. We only do evil.I said "no" at first, but I thought more on it and returned to the conclusion that we are all evil because we've all rebelled against God many, many times in our lives, and because we're so prone to this, we must therefore be inherently evil by our selfish wills.

He did not make him inherently evil, however. Satan's rebellion came out of free will. Free will, in turn, is also not inherently evil, but it is not inherently good, either. Rather, if we want to keep using the word "inherent," free will is an inherent act of grace given to us by God out of love in order for us to make the decision to love our Lord back or not (for if it was love without sacrifice, or without that option to say "no," it would lack meaning. Going deeper into this will eventually tumble into the mysteries of God's will, grace, and love which we, as limited beings, do not entirely understand).ev&oe God made the satan o algo

thank you God
as it is written,I said "no" at first, but I thought more on it and returned to the conclusion that we are all evil because we've all rebelled against God many, many times in our lives, and because we're so prone to this, we must therefore be inherently evil by our selfish wills.
Every human's base nature is, deep down, inherently evil.as it is written,

You're a Russian though.no i am very harmless
born in germany so it cancels out and im a girl so noYou're a Russian though.
A German emigrant to Russia... you remind me of a guy I used to know who was the opposite (Rus to Gemany) and sterilized himself by injecting his balls with ethanol.born in germany so it cancels out and im a girl so no
Those three combined you should statistically have already killed a baby or twoborn in germany so it cancels out and im a girl so no
