(^1) There are those who question whether God who is the God of creation creates darkness and woe! Isaiah 45:7 and 8 {CJB version}
Isa.45:7 “I form light, I create darkness; I make well-being, I create woe; I, ADONAI, do all these things. (NT) (Kindle Locations 19679-19686).”
(^2) True, but read on further…
Isa.45:8 “Heavens above, rain down justice; let the clouds pour it down. Let the earth open, so that salvation springs up, and justice sprouts with it. I, ADONAI, have created it.” (NT) (Kindle Locations 19679-19686).
And …
(^3) What’s more! Our God of Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob is …
Deuteronomy 32:4 The Rock! His work is perfect, for all his ways are just. A trustworthy God who does no wrong, he is righteous and straight. (Kindle Locations 9779-9781).
(^4) And here is HOW God created darkness which is not EVIL nor is it SIN that God was creating! HE is a wonderful God who CHANGES NOT!
Genesis 1:3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.
Genesis 1:4 God saw that the light was good, and God divided the light from the darkness.
Genesis 1:5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. So there was evening, and there was morning, one day.
(Kindle Locations 1410-1413).
(^5) As for the Woe:
Finally as for God creating “Woe” He is after all a God of justice who repays those who refuses the Law of Sin and Death. For God will not allow sin to go unpunished.
(^6) Now let’s deal with the question why did God create Satan (other names) knowing Satan would fall since God is “omniscient” knowing all things: Job 37:16; Psalm 139:2–4, 147:5; Proverbs 5:21; Isaiah 46:9-10; and even in the B’rit Hadashah> 1John 3:19–20.
Now for a great quote: “First, we should understand that knowing Satan would rebel is not the same thing as making[/creating] Satan [to] rebel.”
God did not create Lucifer [as an evil being] (the devil); God created him good as noted in Genesis 1:31 as to “everything.”
As we all know, when God says “everything” He does means “everything” when He is creating! 🙂
And as we all know from Isaiah 14:13,14 Satan chose to be evil that did become a tool for God to raise a harvest of inheritors of the Kingdom of God to those whosoever will choose to accept His COVENANT of love and salvation from their sinful corruptible flesh egged on by Satan to tabernacle with God for eternity!
He is our creator, our Father, and He deserves our respect as like unto a loving Father who LOVES US! And our loving Father spoke a WORD that He will never rescind!!
