1 | Does Isaiah 45:7 mean that God created e | Is 45:7 | biblicalman | 229519 | ||
hi Ismaila, Not in the sense in which you mean it. Moral evil is an attitude and action of a morally evil person. It was not created, but was the result of man's freewill. Moral evil is brought about by evil people making the choice to do evil. That is the only way in which it is 'created'. It is created by morally evil people. What is being described in Isaiah 45.7 is physical evil, things that harm men and cause them distress, e.g. storms, hurricanes, earthquakes, etc. which God did create as part of the natural order. Notice the contrasts in the verse. 'I form the light, I create darkness' (contrast of light with darkness). 'I make peace/well-being, I create evil'. Thus the contrast is between physical well being, and what is not for man's physical wellbeing, i.e. natural disasters. Compare. 'shall evil come on a city and the Lord has not done it' (Amos 3.6). In this case the disaster of war. Best wishes |
