Have You considered this from God's Perspective (Continued)

[quote]Ah, "Scientiaratio", your usual wanting to split hairs over a certain word and argue. Not going to happen. I've seen this question before from atheists/agnostics who just want to argue. I know you're line for line answers regarding the "meaning for devil" and the rest. Go nitpick someplace else. Something I've seen atheists use time and time again. Not interested in your usual twisting my words, either. Go argue with yourself or someone else.[/quote]

Can't answer, then. Let me.
The word evil which appears at Isaiah 45:7, is ra, which can be translated as calamity, ugly, gloomy, bad, sad, disagreeable, and words to that effect. (https://www.biblestudytools.com/lexicons/hebrew/nas/ra.html) So, God created ra (punishment Adam's sin or for the flood). The word devil means slanderer/liar. The "Devil" is the father of the lie, and people who speak slander against God also fall under that category. And Lucifer, as I said in my response, means light bearer and isn't a name for Satan. The Hebrew word satan, by the way, means resistor or adversary. Like in Numbers 22:22 where God's righteous angel stood in the road to resist as an adversary to Balaam.
