there can’t be good without evil
God is eternal- the necessary, un-caused Cause. The Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End; the Triune God existing in perfect fellowship from eternity past. And, in Him dwells no evil. So, it is evil whose existence is dependent upon Good.
God doesn’t create evil- He creates beings of free will. Without free will, we cannot give or receive love. We would merely be robots, with no value to our decisions.
Moral evil is the result of free-will decisions of created beings. Natural evil is the result of God cursing the earth after the fall of man. Both instances result from the decision to stray from the preexisting Good.

Come on PS, you know what it says in Isaiah 45:7. You know that it literally says that Yahweh makes peace (shalom) and creates evil (rah). “I Yahweh do all these things”.
Make up some kind of excuse or apology for him creating evil. Justify it some kind of way, but you can’t deny what it says in Isaiah 45:7. Sure you can translate it to “calamity” or “disaster” or whatever but the word used (rah) is most often translated as “evil” in English Bible translations or simply just “bad”. Yahweh is responsible for everything good and everything bad - at least that what he told “Isaiah”.
