Subject: Doesn't it say that God would cause evil |
Bible Note: Greetings Schwartzkm! Another way of looking at this verse would to consider the stem of the verb. The hiphel stem, which this is, was used to indicate cause. However, oriental cultures viewed everything as ultimately caused by God. Thus, it was permissible to say that something God allowed was "caused" by God. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
