Besides, Scripture specifically says that God creates evil. Isaiah 45:7 The Hebrew is 'ra' meaning 'bad', or 'evil'.leo509https://www.blogger.com/profile/06424099936079591723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9141353879861587194.post-4860440964504740672008-10-24T11:25:00.000-06:002008-10-24T11:25:00.000-06:00Tony, I'm not totally sure what "evil" really is a...Tony, I'm not totally sure what "evil" really is anymore but I have to believe YHWH accepts, allows, and/or endorses.<BR/><BR/>Matt, if these kids are the kind who rebel against holiness and are juvenile delinquents, the society may have been better off without them. They deliberately went against YHWH's chosen, though it certainly seems the prophet took it as petty, personal revenge. The way it's written in scripture sounds ridiculous but if you think of a gang of kids harassing and threatening an old man, it's not so far out of the realm of reason.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9141353879861587194.post-1415635677143714342008-10-24T05:26:00.000-06:002008-10-24T05:26:00.000-06:00God, if you believe the Bible, spoke everything th...God, if you believe the Bible, spoke everything that ever was and is into existence....No matter how you try to get around this, that is the situation.<BR/><BR/>Now, YHWH doesn't have the best track record for doing just good things...In Isaiah he sent bears to kill 40 children violently, all for making fun of a bald prophet...surely you don't think that is a good thing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9141353879861587194.post-4008499334635286642008-10-23T21:00:00.000-06:002008-10-23T21:00:00.000-06:00Here's a question to ponder...If God did not creat...Here's a question to ponder...<BR/><BR/>If God did not create evil, who did? Is there some other being out there capable of creation?<BR/><BR/>God may have created Lucifer as an angelic being but God knew Satan would rebel and become pure evil.<BR/><BR/>Some people don't want to think of God as sovereign over anything bad. However, on the contrary, what hope do we have if God is not sovereign over all, light, darkness, well-being and calamity?<BR/><BR/>TonyTonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11404061538931018780noreply@blogger.com
