I see the confusion, my bad.....I should not have said "Yes, God Created Evil"...God did not create evil directly, but indirectly. God created angels and men with the potential and capability of committing evil by sinning because it was an important part of God’s Plan for them that they would experience both good and evil....God “created all things that they might exist, and the generative forces of the world are wholesome” (Wis. 1:14). God only “creates” evil in the way that a donut maker “creates” a hole—not by giving a non-existing thing existence, but by creating a substance whose absence is named. In the metaphysical sense, evil does not exist in itself, so it is not accurate to claim that God created it.
But don't call me ignorant....call me sleepy.
Oopsy...

Here is a list of the translations....times/words have changed....take a look below...Other Translations for Isaiah 45:7...translations seem to change a bit....I focus on my core beliefs regarding God the Bible and that is Jesus died for our sins, was buried, was resurrected, and thereby offers salvation to all who will receive Him in faith.
