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”.

Hey my friend. I see you’ve been having a bit of fun with your new toys.

Does it feel fresh and new; when you regurgitate the same old tired arguments- that have been refuted time and again? Please don’t take offense- I know that you feel the same way about the arguments put forth by theists- you’ve made it abundantly clear. So, in a way, we understand each other’s position quite well.

As far as “defending God” goes… what’s the point? You’re not seriously searching for logical, plausible, and rational reasons to believe in the Triune God. Rather, you are exploiting the fact that God will not override your free will decision to reject Him with incontrovertible evidence of His existence- to no one’s detriment but your own. I would venture to guess, that in your obsessive quest to “prove Christianity wrong,” you have actually led more people to Christ than away from Christ. I am living proof. Your parroting of internet atheist talking points has led me to a wealth of knowledge that I otherwise would not possess; yielding a stronger faith, and a deeper understanding thereof. Thank you for your service.
