"Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Care to change that view?"
Oh, check fucking mate...I can't wait to see him ignore that one.
@Sheldon
All he would have to do is compare translations and see that most modern translations don't render the Hebrew ra as evil in Isaiah 45:7, but calamity. The KJV is a really bad translation. For example, it translates the Hebrew reʼem′ as unicorns instead of what it should be, wild bulls. The Douay is just as bad doing the same thing at Psalm 21:22; 28:6; 91:11.
But even if it should say evil, what does that mean? That to those suffering the consequences of God's judgement, the events that follow would seem evil. Bad, calamitous, injurious or any of the similar words that the Hebrew ra can be translated into depending upon the context.
Yes I'm familiar with the ludicrous line of religious apologetics that asserts a deity with limitless knowledge and power can only really communicate clearly as a monoglot. Its absurd, as is citing the bible over and over in your apologetics then claiming it's been incorrectly translated when it's texts inconveniently contradict your claims or beliefs. Why do theists not correct these errors and bring out a definitive translation? They've had long enough after all.
Hand waving unwelcome facts away is something I've seen religious apologists excel at for many many years now.
So why do you think your deity couldn't inspire a message that would overcome the idiosyncrasies of human language? That doesn't sound like omniscience or omnipotence to me.
Wouldn't the errors be more simply explained if the entire book were entirely human in origin? This wouldn't require any assumptions, and would also explain why much of its appalling morality has dated so badly, as much of it reflects the moral attitudes of the ignorant bronze age Bedouins living in nomadic patriarchal tribes that it was derived from.
As the late Christopher Hitchens pointed out, can anyone really believe it hadn't occurred to the Hebrews that moratoriums on behaviours like ubiquitous murder and theft were a good idea in societal animals? This seems to insult their intelligence as much as the reader's.
@Empedocles
"That to those suffering the consequences of God's judgement, the events that follow would seem evil."
Your position, simply stated, seems to be that because Jeovah is the boss, whatever he does is good. I guess drowning an entire planet, not only humans but all of other living species is fine since it is God's desire.
I guess destroying an entire city, because all adult men want to rape angels... wait isn't this story a liite silly, as if fucking angels can't defend themselves?
Your God is fond of disproportionate retribution, and this is not moral.
@Talyyn
If you speed that is evil. If you get caught and punished that is evil. Evil is subjective.
Now, in the Bible you have the account of the flood. If the Bible is true then the flood was brought about to save mankind from itself. Only the creator, if he exists, could make that call. Like if you had an aquarium and there was some fish in there that had only one purpose and that was to destroy all of the other fish, you would likely get those fish out of there. You could put them somewhere else but they would just destroy themselves eventually.
@Empedocles,
"Evil is subjective"... Then your god has no more right that anyone else to make justice.
"Only the creator, ,IF HE EXISTS, could make that call"... So since he is our creator he has all rights on us.
No if one fish want to kill all other fishs you only remove that fish from the aquarium.
The god you believe in in not the monotheistic one that is sure, because if it was, being omni anything would mean that he could find another solution to the problem.
AJ777 "Hell which was created for the devil and his angels is where God is not able to be enjoyed. God is all powerful necessarliy. He did not create evil because evil is nothing. If good is the donut, evil is the donut hole where there is no donut."
What a load of specious nonsense. By that logic you don't think endemic rape of children in the catholic church is evil, or are you saying it is nothing? You previously claimed torturing children was immoral, and evil is defined as profoundly immoral or wicked behaviour. So is the rape of a child evil or not? Because it is endemic in the largest oldest christian church among its priesthood.
Your donut analogy is the most facile analogy I've yet seen, why do religious apologists always use hopeless analogies. For a start evil and suffering are endemic, even without any human action, one only has to imagine the suffering caused by disease and predation for hundreds of millions of years before humans evolved.
AJ777 doesn't even offer original thoughts,it is the absence of god theodicy.
Well when asked for his best evidence for a deity he produced the Kalam cosmological argument, that hit home fairly hard that he had nothing original to offer. I've said it before and I will say it again, William Lane Craig has a lot to answer for.
"Gods are unprovable bollocks, dreamt up by the incredulous to explain and control the gullible.
Good and evil are formed from the morality of social constructs that were created via species".
Book of Dave 7.12
From gotquestions website:
Question: "Why does Isaiah 45:7 say that God created evil?"
Answer: Isaiah 45:7 in the King James Version reads, “I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.” How does Isaiah 45:7 agree with the view that God did not create evil? There are two key facts that need to be considered. (1) The word translated “evil” is from a Hebrew word that means “adversity, affliction, calamity, distress, misery.” Notice how the other major English Bible translations render the word: “disaster” (NIV, HCSB), “calamity” (NKJV, NAS, ESV), and “woe” (NRSV). The Hebrew word can refer to moral evil, and often does have this meaning in the Hebrew Scriptures. However, due to the diversity of possible definitions, it is unwise to assume that “I create evil” in Isaiah 45:7 refers to God bringing moral evil into existence.
(2) The context of Isaiah 45:7 makes it clear that something other than “bringing moral evil into existence” is in mind. The context of Isaiah 45:7 is God rewarding Israel for obedience and punishing Israel for disobedience. God pours out salvation and blessings on those whom He favors. God brings judgment on those who continue to rebel against Him. “Woe to him who quarrels with his Master” (Isaiah 45:9). That is the person to whom God brings “evil” and “disaster.” So, rather than saying that God created “moral evil,” Isaiah 45:7 is presenting a common theme of Scripture – that God brings disaster on those who continue in hard-hearted rebellion against Him.
@AJ777,
You ran to this apologist site? I will use the ESV version with all the text:
Cyrus, God's Instrument
"1 Thus says the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have grasped, to subdue nations before him and to loose the belts of kings, to open doors before him that gates may not be closed: 2 "I will go before you and level the exalted places, I will break in pieces the doors of bronze and cut through the bars of iron, 3 I will give you the treasures of darkness and the hoards in secret places, that you may know that it is I, the LORD, the God of Israel, who call you by your name. 4 For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel my chosen, I call you by your name, I name you, though you do not know me. 5 I am the LORD, and there is no other, besides me there is no God; I equip you, though you do not know me, 6 that people may know, from the rising of the sun and from the west, that there is none besides me; I am the LORD, and there is no other. 7 I form light and create darkness, I make well-being and create calamity, I am the LORD, who does all these things. 8 "Shower, O heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain down righteousness; let the earth open, that salvation and righteousness may bear fruit; let the earth cause them both to sprout; I the LORD have created it. 9 "Woe to him who strives with him who formed him, a pot among earthen pots! Does the clay say to him who forms it, 'What are you making?' or 'Your work has no handles'? 10 Woe to him who says to a father, 'What are you begetting?' or to a woman, 'With what are you in labor?'" 11 Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and the one who formed him: "Ask me of things to come; will you command me concerning my children and the work of my hands? 12 I made the earth and created man on it; it was my hands that stretched out the heavens, and I commanded all their host. 13 I have stirred him up in righteousness, and I will make all his ways level; he shall build my city and set my exiles free, not for price or reward," says the LORD of hosts."
Now, we can work.
AJ777: "The word translated “evil” is from a Hebrew word that means “adversity, affliction, calamity, distress, misery.” (cited from an apologist web site).
Even if we use the other words “adversity, affliction, calamity, distress, misery”, this just means your sky faerie is an Evil, Immoral Monster since it creates such evil. Remember the adage about a spade?

So either way, this god chap is a bit of horrible wanker?
It's almost like... they made up another book to, I don't know.... make him more lovable?!
It's almost like, the sort of shit humans would do...
Strange...
So strange...
All these miracles being performed by an all knowing god, in an era with no way off definitively proving it...
Well if I didn't know any better, I'd think this was utterly bollocks...
With all the technology and intellect we have today, but he'd prefer to demonstrate his glory in some medieval shithole in the middle of no where and only tell a few arseholes and leave no way of proving any of it...
It's uncanny!!!!!
Well, I'm convinced boys!
God can’t be objectively evil if He doesn’t exist. You have to use objective biblical morality in order to condemn Him.
@ AJ777
OK. You asked for it. Just as Richad Dawkins said in The God Delusion
“Dawkins Was Too Kind,” Barker said as he added another eight characteristics: pyromaniacal, angry, merciless, curse-hurling, vaccicidal, aborticidal, cannibalistic and slavemonger. And to this Unpleasant Companion, he adds homicidal, evil, and terrorist.
And as I was already doing this, but Dan Barker beat me to it. I was collecting all the verses that describe your deity in the Bible as everything Richard Dawkins said, and as Dan Barker added later.
Aborticidal - the killing of an unborn fetus, an abortifacient. Abortifacient: Causing abortion.

Final Summation: Your god and its religion which you follow are Pure Evil. Judged, sentenced, and condemned to serve eternity in its own Hell.

@ AJ777
No we do not. We can use the secular morality and legislation evolved over the years. The countries where religion still holds sway and is enshrined in their legislations are hotbeds of amorality: Honor killings(as described in your book), misogyny, slavery, backstreet abortions, homicides, genocides, the list goes on. Compare them to societies in Scandinavia, the UK, even Australia and a beacon in the South Pacific, New Zealand.
No need for your 'God', or any gods. Left alone humans respond to their evolutionary instincts and gang together for the 'greater good' Many tyrants and equally as many religions and societal systems have come to grief on the rocks of that simple but effective societal trait that humankind possesses.
Your god, by its own rules is amoral, devious, murderous and a sickening example to humans.
"God can’t be objectively evil if He doesn’t exist. You have to use objective biblical morality in order to condemn Him."
Not this n9nsense again, shameful evasion.
YOU believe out AJ777, so please do desist comprehending the bible is irrelevant to your dismantling your claims.
Why is it immoral to torture a children? You claimed it was your opinion it was immoral, can you really not tell us why you think this?
What objective biblical morality?
So you think slavery is moral then, and rapine, and murder, even genocide, and torturing King David's baby to death?
"God can’t be objectively evil if He doesn’t exist."
He can be an evil concept, since evil is itself a concept, and of course people can buy into the evil BS in the bible, as they have done for millennia, and then do evil things.
Why is immoral to torture children? Surely you must have some reason why this is wrong? Otherwise your claims for objective morality seems particularly vapid.
You’re wasting a lot of time to justify your subjective dislike for a non existent person. Why is your opinion correct?
@ AJ777
Because you cannot prove it is incorrect.
rmfr
@aj777
So your god is a person now?
You theist have failed to prove your god is real.
No objective evidence has been provided.
BTW donut holes to exist, they sell them, so that would mean evil and Satan are real to you.
Whether an action is moral or immoral should not depend on the existence of a being.
However, the issue is that for theists like yourself, you are unable to say that there is no action so immoral you would not do it if you believed you were told to do so by your master.
The issue is that you believe you should follow a "voice in your head", no matter how immoral.
“
Whether an action is moral or immoral should not depend on the existence of a being.”
What does it depend on in your view?
I would likely not listen to voices in my head if I heard them.
Whether the action is moral or immoral.
How would you know when to listen to "God", especially if your "objective morality" is not a fixed standard?
Objective morality is a fixed standard by definition.
@AJ777
For the second time... Would you explain to us the Kalam cosmological argument? How do YOU understand it?
Then, explain you god supposed benovolence and all-mightiness in relation to the Fall of Adam and Eve.
@ AJ777
PROVE IT!!
Or shut up.
rmfr
You've still not explained why you think an action can be "objectively moral" for one being, but "objectively immoral" for everybody else.
You've still not given an example of action so immoral you would not do it if "God" told you to, e.g. like Abraham being willing to kill a child.
You say "I would likely not listen to voices in my head if I heard them." but as there seems to be no action that is immoral in all circumstances according to your religion, you cannot even tell an "objectively moral" being apart from an immoral one.
"I would likely not listen to voices in my head if I heard them."
Hmm, the problem I have here is that the bible and christian teaching hold up Abraham being will to eviscerate his own son as a human sacrifice to the voices in head as an example of good servant to of god. Even if it was meant as metaphor, and there is no evidence this was the case, it's still a pretty creepy and immoral idea.
How do you feel about your deity torturing King David's newborn baby to death because he was annoyed it was conceived in an adulterous affair? I mean you did say you thought torturing children was immoral right? Though for some reason you have since refused to tell us why you think this of course?
