Bible Question:
Some say that God does not create evil,but what does this mean. Isa 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. |
Bible Answer: Greetings terry44! Excellent quesion! The evil or woe talked about in verse 7 refers to physical adversity not moral sin. The New King James Version refers to it as calamity. God is ruler over all. Our lives are sprinkled by both. We need the physical adversity to grow spiritually. prayon |
