Isaiah 45:7 states: "I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil. I am Jehovah, that doeth all these things."
I would have NEVER guessed that GOD (Jehovah) creates evil. It's so strange how I come across certain verses in the Bible. I came across this verse watching the video about the Black Fraternities: Ex-Soror. I think It was in the 4-4 video. The links are located under the secret society section of the discussion board under the topic Greek Letter Organizations.
I've read and continue to read great deals of the Bible, but I haven't read it front to back. So I stumble across new things everyday. Even when I read the stuff I've already read, sometimes new things seem to sprout out to me that I didn't notice before.
It's something about that verse. When I read it, I feel into deep thought. That verse just struck me in a way that NO verse has ever struck me before. I'm so glad I know the Lord and I'm becoming more and more familiar with his character because, If I didn't, and, I had read that verse; things might have went down hill.
I know ALL things have a purpose, and, all things work together. I would ask what's the purpose of certain things, but, I think we all know why certain things are, the way they are.
I felt lead to post about this so I could read what other people think about it. Knowing that GOD is the creator or all things.
Even though GOD creates evil. (I find it hard to even type that lol) I don't believe for one second that he is. I believe certain things are created so that GOD can show his glory, power, strength, righteousness, and unconditional love to us. Not to mention that he gave us free-will to make choices and endure the consequences of our decisions (whether they are good or bad) an turn to him. That goes for other things as well. Not just evil.
Please share your opinions and knowledge.
