Subject: Is God responsible for evil? |
Bible Note: BJW, I believe that you are mistaken here... Your reference is probably to Isaiah 45:7. Consider it: Isaiah 45 7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.(KJV) Isaiah 45 7I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the LORD, do all these things.' (NKJV) Isaiah 45 7 The One (1) forming light and (2) creating darkness, Causing well-being and (3) creating calamity; I am the LORD who does all these. (NASB) Isaiah 45 7 I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the LORD , do all these things. (NIV) Now, I have no idea what version you're reading, but God is not attributed with the creation of evil. However, He will bring about calamity and disaster to those who set themselves against Him.
