Why did God create Evil?
#31
RE: Why did God create Evil?
From the NASB Isaiah 45:7 The One forming light and creating darkness,
Causing well being and creating calamity;
I am the Lord who does all these.

From the NLT Isaiah 45:7 I am the One who creates the light and makes the darkness, I am the One who sends good times and bad times. I, the LORD, am the One who does these things.

From the NIV Isaiah 45:7 I form light and create darkness,
I make well-being and create calamity,
I am the LORD, who does all these things.

The Hebrew word is ra', rah: meaning bad, adversity, calamity, affliction or displeasure. Seems you guys have misunderstood this verse.

1- God created the universe
2- Evil is a part of the universe
3- God didn't create evil, (where did we got that idea?)

1-3 RA, QED.

God created the universe, man is part of the universe, man is the only one who has evil, man chooses evil.

Well, the nicene creed says created all things, seen and unseen. If he didn't, who did?

And don't say "humans". If we were made in Gods image and we have evil in us, it was still Gods work.

God did not say He created evil, so why do you believe He did, further more why would He, why would God put Himself through having to deal with evil? Who created love, kindness, generosity, purity and ect.? I just love how people without a valid argument will limit the argument with restrictions, it's a classic I'm going to take the real answer away so you can't use it against me. Pitiful, absolutely pitiful.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
