After forming an opinion on the text I hooked out a few commentaries, and it turns out they concur with my opinion, and elaborate on the meaning Cyrus would have taken from it. I'll highlight my opinions, as found.
LT, what are your opinions? What is your understanding of "I create evil", not theirs!

EW:Scripture is ALWAYS open to interpretation, my friend, not least when questioning the underlying language and translation.Agreed, however I believe the scripture quoted seems to have become problematic for you. E.

To that end, my comments reflect that stance.
Very well. With all things considered Im interested in your position on what God created specifically?
Because scripture(Isa.45:7) clearly states what it states. (with no interpetive values required)

LT, I think we should back up here.
The sole reason for quoting Is 45:7 was to show where God creates everything. This is what scripture states.Evil, darkness everything, Period.
| Isa 45:7 | I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these [things]. KJV The word "evil" by Strongs def. is word 7489 1) to be bad, be evil a) (Qal) 1) to be displeasing 2) to be sad 3) to be injurious, be evil 4) to be wicked, be evil (ethically LT If (as I suspect it does) Isa.45:7 refers to the night of Gen.1:3-5, then we need to ask whether or not God's pre-Genesis acts created a universe that was wholey dark and without light, or else was darkness part of eternity also? This is just clouding the issue. Did God create evil in Isa. 45:7? E. |

DDOG,
No necessity was laid upon God to give him more than that intermediate and even transient will, that out of man?s fall he might extract materials for his own glory.
You could have just quoted this part, it does just fine.

Thanks for the link LT.
It is interesting to note that this evil that was introduced to A& E came from another created being that was also given free will,
Is God somehow caught off guard?
