Bible Question (short): Please clarify Samuel 18:10. |
Question (full): In 1 Samuel 18:10 - the NIV bible refers to an "evil spirit from God." I asked my pastor about this, and he said in some translations of the bible, it is referred to as an injurious spirit from God. I was really disturbed by this verse. Is it possible that anything of God could be evil? I wish I understood Hebrew fluently so I could understand the true meaning of this verse. I understand that God sometimes used angels to administer punishment, to fight battles, and to deliver messages. Is it possible that he also used them to torment people on earth? |
