'Occasionally someone will quote Isaiah 45:7 (KJV) and claim it proves God made evil as a part of His creation: "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things" (emphasis added). 'But the New American Standard Bible gives the sense of Isaiah 45:6-7 more clearly: "There is no one besides Me. I am the Lord, and there is no other, the One forming light and creating darkness, causing well-being and creating calamity; I am the Lord who does all these." In other words, God devises calamity as a judgment for the wicked. But in no sense is He the author of evil.' 'Scripture says that when God finished His creation, He saw everything and declared it "very good" (Genesis 1:31). Many Scriptures affirm that God is not the author of evil: '"God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone" (James 1:13). '"God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all" (1 John 1:5). '"God is not the author of confusion" (1 Corinthians 14:33)--and if that is true, He cannot in any way be the author of evil.' ____________________ For further study: Jay Adams, The Grand Demonstration (Santa Barbara CA: Eastgate,1991).
