Isaiah 45:7 (KJV)
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Isaiah 45:7 (ESV)
I form light and create darkness; I make well-being and create calamity; I am the Lord, who does all these things.
Either way, this verse throws up two problems, if we focus on the KJV translation, it seems to state that God is responsible for moral evil and therefore why should we worship a God that is responsible for evil?. Focusing on the ESV translation, it represents a common scriptural theme - God punishes those who do not worship him or follow his laws, this makes no sense because God is (supposedly) omniscient and therefore should know who would worship him and who won't
Secondly, God gave us free will, so it follows that we can choose whether or not to worship God.
Therefore has God has no right to punish us for not worshipping Him because we're simply exercising our free will and making a choice.
Therefore, this leads to the question - Why should we worship something that gives us free will, then punishes us for using it?
