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. |
