Do all good things come from God?
Historically the standard conception of God is of a being omnibenevolent (all good). Presumably this means that God is morally all good. So whatever moral evils exist in the world must come from humans. Natural evils are bad things that occur due to natural events.
What are good and evil actions?

Are humans good or evil Clancy Martin?
Philosophers Clancy Martin and Alan Strudler debate whether humans are, as Martin argues, inherently good. “Clancy Martin sees people as ‘mostly good,’” Strudler counters. The idea that people are good because they do mostly good things makes sense only on a desperately low standard of goodness.”
Is there such a thing as good and evil?
Ultimately, there is no good or evil. There are actions, their consequences, and the society’s perception. If our actions are for the benefit of others, then they are good. However, if they are harmful to any, they’re bad.
Are all human acts morally good or evil?
They are acts of a human person, but they are not called “human acts”. A fully human act, that is, one proceeding from knowledge and free will, is either morally good or morally evil. How do we know whether a given human act is good or evil?
How do circumstances make an otherwise good action evil?
Circumstances can make an otherwise good action evil, as when a soldier deliberately goes to sleep. They can increase the guilt, as when a girl lies to her mother; or minimize the guilt, as an unpremeditated lie in order to get out of an embarrassing situation.
Can the most noble intention make an intrinsically evil action a good action?
The most noble intention cannot make an intrinsically evil action a good action. Thus, the bombings and killings perpetrated by terrorists in order to change some form of government are still murder. Stealing from the rich in order to help the poor a la Robin Hood is still stealing.
