He boldly states to Isaiah (45:7): “I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things” (KJV). Some people (and many modern translations) will try to explain away this verse, saying that what it really means is that God allows evil, not that He actually creates it. The Hebrew word used here for create (bara) is the same word used in Genesis 1:1, so following their logic we’d have to say that, “in the beginning, God allowed the heavens and the earth.”
