Behold, this evil is of the Lord.
Isaiah 45:7
I ... create evil.
Lamentations 3:38
Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?
Amos 3:6
Shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Now is it safe to say that all of those verses aren't talking about "evil"? These three verses are translated in many different ways and only a few translations use the word "evil". These three verses use the Hebrew word רַע pronounced "rah" which can be translated as "disaster" and "calamity" which is different than moral evil. Additionally, In context all of these verses are indeed talking about God being involved in natural disasters and calamities rather than talking about God committing moral evils?
We get this so-called sin from "Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil" as known as "Tree of Conscience"
"And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil." -Gen 2:9
I don't want to copy-and-paste large amount of verses here so, I'll just post the references. "God-is-creator-of-everything" verses:
Psalm 104:24, 30, Psalm 24:1‑2, Hebrews 11:3, Isaiah 44:24.
According to Genesis 1: 11 ‑ 12, this verse stated god created tree - if you consider Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil one of these "tree" creations.
So here's the question: if God, indeed, is creator of all creations in the existence then, Where do you think this "evil" come from? One of his creations, perhaps?
