The quote was from KJV. My OT Bible (LXX, Septuagint) says this:

"I am he that prepared light, and formed darkness; who make peace, and create evil; I am the Lord God, that does all these things." [Esaias 45:7]

The Greek word used is derived from Greek kakos, meaning "of bad nature" or "wicked." In the Hebrew version the word ra` is used meaning "bad" or "evil."

I know it was from the KJV. I brought it up because I thought I remembered you saying the KJV was a bad translation earlier. I wondered why you were quoting it now. Plus, why does your own Greek version use "evil" if you distinguish between the Greek and the Hebrew?

Since we are no this subject, maybe you can explain how come 2 Kings 8:26 says Ahaziah was 22 years old and 2 Chron 22:2 says he was 42 when he became king? , In my NIV, both verses say he was 22 years old. If you want to just declare that wrong, so you can declare that there is a conflict, then I can't stop you.

2 Sam 6:23 says Michal had no children and 2 Sam 21:8 says she had five!, ...

There does not appear to be universal agreement on whether these are the same people or not. My Bible says the latter is Merab, but acknowledges that there is disagreement. I would hardly call that a slam dunk.

kosta-2 Sam 6:23 says Michal had no children and 2 Sam 21:8 says she had five!,

fk-My Bible says the latter is Merab

Merab had five children (2 Sam 21:8). Michal had none. (2 Sam 6:23).

Perhaps kosta would be better off if he spent less time trying to prove the Bible wrong rather than studying it.
