Now, as to your contentions about attributing "evil" to God. I think that you have reacted in a knee-jerk kind of way to CCWoody's posts. He never said that God committed "evil", but he did attempt to get you to understand that you call "evil" some things that Scripture rightly attributes to God. The fact that you stated that you didn't know my point of view shows that you haven't read this thread very carefully. May I suggest you do a re-read and ask for a "do over"?
You say... "but he did attempt to get you to understand that you call "evil" some things that Scripture rightly attributes to God." And that is the problem, in that people use the English word of "evil" as in the meaning of unrighteousness -- and that is therefore the wrong word, because of the connotations involved.
Now, if people want to distinguish that word as "calamity" and "woe" -- as opposed to "moral evil" -- and therefore never attribute moral evil and unrighteousness to God -- then I have nothing more to say about it -- because that's the extent to which I'm going. There is nothing more beyond that.
So -- therefore -- if you're saying that CCWoody does not attribute any unrighteousness to God and that the word "evil" (in that context of Isaiah 45:7) has the meaning of "calamity" and "woe" -- even though it uses the "word" evil -- then that's fine. That would be exactly what I'm saying.
HOWEVER, when people take this "tack" and start attributing all meanings of the word "evil" (including "moral evil") to God -- then they are simply wrong.
Thus, it depends on which position CCWoody is taking. I've made mine clear by the fact that I'm saying that the English translation is wrong [if one is to take it as "moral evil"] -- and the word should be rendered "calamity" and/or "woe" and that's sufficient for me to correct the wrong position. It doesn't appear that CCWoody wishes to clarify the situation to the extent of eliminating unrighteousness from God's doing and God's hand.
As far as going back to reading the same things again... no need for me to do that, as I already know what we're talking about here, in regards to Isaiah 45:7 -- which is where this started.
You have already said I could take as much time as I need. However, you really need to stop posting for a while and consider that you have already called something "morally evil" that the Bible ultimately attributes to God.
