1 | God sought Moses to kill him | Ex 4:24 | budderfligh | 198312 | ||
Hi Doc, Thanks for your thoughts on this subject. I have never heard of the term theodicy but it does sound like a subject I've heard discussed before. Isn't there somewhere in Scripture that states that God made evil? I looked for the passage but couldn't locate it. I agree that God himself made the distinguishing difference between Israel and Egypt. I also agree that the thought of this doctrine is hard to take. Many instances come to my mind that I thought were unfair of God when I first read of them in scripture such as that poor man who was stoned to death because he was gathering sticks on a Sabbath (Nu. 15:32-36), or the way God gave land to the Israelites that belonged to other people; actually giving them cities they didn't build and vineyards they didn't plant (Deut. 6:10-11). I remember when I first read these things that I thought them to be unfair. As I matured in Christ and in the study of Scripture I began to understand that you just can't get around Rom. 9:18. God is God. Always has been. Always will be. He is truly the Potter and we are truly the clay. I will end this post with the verse I ended my last post to Jeff with, Isa 55:8 For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD. God bless and keep you. I look forward with much eagerness to learn more from those who post here and thank you for tolerating my questions and thoughts, budderfligh |

KJV: I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. NASB: The One forming light and creating darkness, Causing well-being and creating calamity; I am the LORD who does all these. Amplified: I form the light and create darkness, I make peace [national well-being] and I create [physical] evil (calamity); I am the Lord, Who does all these things. |
