Twilight's claim that the Bible says that God does evil is wrong. There are only a couple of places that this misinterpretation comes from. In Judges 9:23 it says that God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem. The Hebrew word used here is rayah which is an adjective that means bad, distressing, troubling, evil. So in this context we can see that the spirit that was sent by God was there to stir up trouble between Abimelech and the men of Shechem so that their plans for ruling would be thwarted. A similar spirit (same Hebrew word) was sent by God to King Saul in 1Samuel 14 so that he would be kept from succeeding in his path of rebellion against God. The spirit that God sent was not evil as in wicked but a spirit that was intended to stir up trouble and distress. God's action was not evil but actually a means of accomplishing justice. God is good and right in all He does. God does not do evil. Twilight’s claim that the Bible says that God does evil is wrong. There are only a couple of places that this misinterpretation comes from.
