[b]Isaiah 45:7[/b] I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. God forms the light. [b]God creates darkness[/b]. God makes peace. [b]God creates evil[/b]. Most religious minds can't get around this verse. They try to explain it away with flowery bullshit. It states what it states. God is not a liar. [/quote] Question: "Why does Isaiah 45:7 say that God created evil?" Answer: Isaiah 45:7 in the King James Version reads, “I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.” How does Isaiah 45:7 agree with the view that God did not create evil? There are two key facts that need to be considered. (1) The word translated “evil” is from a Hebrew word that means “adversity, affliction, calamity, distress, misery.” Notice how the other major English Bible translations render the word: “disaster” (NIV, HCSB), “calamity” (NKJV, NAS, ESV), and “woe” (NRSV). The Hebrew word can refer to moral evil, and often does have this meaning in the Hebrew Scriptures. However, due to the diversity of possible definitions, it is unwise to assume that “I create evil” in Isaiah 45:7 refers to God bringing moral evil into existence. [/quote] I rest my case: from above: [b]Most religious minds can't get around this verse. They try to explain it away with flowery bullshit. It states what it states. God is not a liar.[/b] Were your ancestors those that put the Cathars to death for believing the truth? [/quote] Did you hear what God did that time to the firstborn of Egypt when they were slave driving his children? Sent an angel right into Pharoh's palace and killed his firstborn son...right in front to them. So what is your point? [/quote] You made my point! So God does create evil! [/quote] well what evil? He is not the author of sin, fallen mankind is responsible for that evil. [b]God then responds with the [color=red]evil[/color] of punishment[/b]. [/quote] Well you kind of just stuck your foot in your mouth there, didn't ya? [/quote]

Romans 13 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God:
the powers that be are ordained of God.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
I want to please God, but I'm having trouble accepting the part in bold.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
