Did God Create Evil?

Q. Isaiah 45:7 speaks of God creating evil. How can this be so? Why would he do so anyway?
Light On Day 1, Sun On Day 4. How Can This Be?
Posted July 16th, 2010 in Ask a Bible Teacher
Q. In Genesis 1:3 it says, “And God said let there be light and there was light. ” It was day 1. In Genesis 1:16 it says, “And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.” It was day 4. So if God didn’t create the Sun and Moon until day 4, what was the light He created on day 1? Also, evenings and morning are determined by the rising and setting of the sun are they not? But if the sun was not created until the fourth day then what determined the days before that?
4 Million Years Or 6 Thousand?
Posted July 6th, 2010 in Ask a Bible Teacher
Q. The current NG cover and cover article is on the found skeletons of a 4 Millions Year Old Woman, Ardipithecus Ramidus, Oldest Hominid Skeleton in the Middle Awash area of Ethiopia. How do we reconcile this skeleton. Yes, there can be flaws in carbon dating. Could The Flood produce such pressure that it creates the illusion of items being older than they really are? Technology is getting better every day to reduce flaws in dating. Could skeletons such as these be from the original world prior to the remaking of our world and the creation of Adam and Eve?
The Gap Theory One More Time
Posted June 19th, 2010 in Ask a Bible Teacher
Q. I have a question about the Gap Theory. You have stated that you do believe that there was a “gap” between Gen 1:1 and 1:2 but that you don’t believe dinosaurs or man inhabited earth during that time. My question is, if there was a “gap” then, could there possibly have been other creatures living before the Genesis creation? To me, this would not interfere with the literal 6 day creation. The only difference is my addition of creatures existing during the period before Genesis. I understand this is quite a difference but, again, is this possible?
Who Are The Sons Of God?
Posted June 19th, 2010 in Ask a Bible Teacher
Q. In one of your articles on the Nephilim you said, “The Hebrew phrase translated “sons of God” refers to beings who are direct creations of God.” I believe you when you say this, I just do not understand your process to get there. I checked Strongs H1121, H1129 & H251 and I would not have came to your conclusion unless I heard it from you as I did. I would like to study the Word of God as you do, with much prayer and reliance on the Holy Spirit of course.
Who Owns The Earth?
Posted May 27th, 2010 in Ask a Bible Teacher
Q. Psalm 89:11 says both the Heavens and the Earth belong to God. Psalm 115:16 says, The heavens are the Lord ’s, but the earth he has given to the children of man. One verse says both belong to God but the other says earth is man’s. I don’t believe there are contradictions in God’s Word, so I’m wondering how these two verses can be correct at the same time.

A Matter Of Time
Posted May 22nd, 2010 in Ask a Bible Teacher
Q. I been studying the Bible and have two questions. First of all how long a man can physically live. In Genesis 6:3 the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days will be a hundred and twenty years.” Is that where God set a specific time frame for man?

Adam And Eve
Posted May 5th, 2010 in Ask a Bible Teacher
Q. My question is two fold: if Adam was created first in God’s Image, in perfection, why then would he need “help” from Eve? Is there a lost translation here? Secondly, is there any biblical reference for why the enemy targeted Eve first, not Adam?
God Or Archaeology?
Posted May 4th, 2010 in Ask a Bible Teacher
Q. How does the Bible explain the evolution of man that is Darwin inspired. Specifically, if God created Adam/Eve at a certain time frame which has been noted as only a few thousand years, how does the Bible explain the fact that archaeologists have uncovered human skulls that are millions of years old? This confuses me. I am at a lost to explain this to anyone who would ask me about it.
What If Adam Had Not Sinned?
Posted May 2nd, 2010 in Ask a Bible Teacher
Q. I enjoy reading your site everyday and have a question from one of my children in my Wednesday night class. We were studying when sin first entered the world and one of the children asked “What would have happened if Adam wouldn’t have eaten from the fruit and only Eve did?” The majority felt that God would have kicked out Eve but not Adam. I was kinda stumped with the question since that is the first time I’ve heard that one and couldn’t really give a answer. I told them I would back with them next week about that. Can you shed some light on the subject?
