No, but you are. Still waiting for you to quote the Bible where it says that God created Evil, that God tells anybody to go rape or murder. Where is all that in the Bible?
no
you said:
If you want to argue that "evil" in Isaiah:45-7 means "war", I'm okay with that. Some wars, Noah's flood, the 10 plagues of Egypt, etc. would fall under "bad" and "unpleasant things" God creates when necessary.
Yes. God loves peace, but war is some times necessary in this sinful world.
That's where i connected th e meaning of WAR: rape, hunger, death etc.... God creates these things? that is not a loving compassionate GOD.
NEXT:
The word "evil" in Isaiah:45-7 means "bad" or "unpleasant things", just like in Jeremiah 24:3 "evil" figs means "bad" figs:
Jeremiah 24:3
"Then said the LORD unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil."
Yes, God creates "evil" in the sense that He sometimes causes "bad" or "unpleasant things" to happen for a good reason, Noah's flood, the 10 plagues of Egypt, etc. But God did NOT create evil.
God is good, and to say that God made this kid shoot all those people is..."evil"
Psalm 5:4
You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with you the wicked cannot dwell.
James 1:13
When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;
Psalm 145:17
The LORD is righteous in all his ways and loving toward all he has made.
Psalm 18:30
As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him.
1 Corinthians 14:33
For God is not a God of disorder but of peace.
Nahum 1:7
The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him,
Psalm 145:9
The LORD is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made.
James 1:17
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights
All those verses mean nothing in relation to the passage:
I create evil.
Your assertion that evil = bad or unpleasant things is nothing but a spin on the "black and white" text of
I CREATE EVIL.So we have 2 things being debated here:
1. God creates evil
