God Creates Evil
The ancient rabbis - and many Christians - stumble over this. But, we need to understand what is being said, and what it means. First, Hebrew ra' means harm or calamity as well as connotatively moral evil. The LORD is not being charged with moral evil here; such a thing would be completely paradoxical because it is God Who DEFINES good and evil. Second, God is the creator of both Satan and men, and these are responsible for all evil and harm in the world today. Third, God is totally sovereign and nothing is outside of His command, which is in contrast to Zoro-astrianism which sees the Universe as a struggle between good and evil beings. No, there is no struggle; Jesus will destroy Satan by the breath of His mouth!
Isaiah 45:7The Lexham English Bible
I form light and I create darkness;
I make peace and I create evil;
I am Yahweh; I do all these things.
