No, but I'm assuming you are either referencing the evil in the world with this debate, or the 'evil' that has been commited in the bible. In letting us have freewill God's not performing the evil acts. Though an argument could be made that his sense of all knowing made it an evil act, that's a loose argument, considering heaven's existence as a reward for those who lived good lives. Now onto the acts god committed in the Bible. To smite the wicked is not evil, it's punishment. You'd lock away a criminal the same way God would smite them. As for the story of Job (I'm stating now this is not my opinion on this matter) Christians tend to agree that since his family was all well in heaven, and he was given a new family to live out the rest of his days on Earth, that it was still not evil. Side: No
