Those are amazing words you just spoke. I appreciate your concern on me. I know faith is some thing which we can not test in the laboratory. But I am really behind finding truth in NT concepts and how they are developed against OT concepts on God and His doings.Thanks and love to you
Adam
Hi Adam, your welcome.You said you are…”really behind finding truth in NT concepts and how they developed against OT concepts on God and His doings”…And so are many people… I know, theres so many unknowns, well, it was over 2000 years ago Jesus was here, and even more beyond that which happened. So we read the bible, but then…theres gotta be more!, So we test everything, search, so many questions that need answering, but then so many diferent answers, which one do we pick? Gotta read more,
Do you remember Jesus said… “whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.”
A child depends on His parents to look after Him. So, if you depend on your Heavenly Father, He will look after you. He promises that if you have the faith of a child, you will enter His kingdom. To go with your heart, to be like a child.
The Holy Spirit is the Teacher, If we trust the Holy Spirit then we are ok.Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
lean not on your own understanding; Proverbs 3:5Adam, you have such nice manners.
God bless you.
YHWH (Yahweh) and Satan, (the Adversary)
——————————————————————————–
Or….YHWH (Yahweh) (as) Satan, (an Adversary)
There is One True Mighty One, (G-d) and only One. “Hear O Israel, YHWH (Yahweh) our Elohim (G-d), YHWH (Yahweh) is one! (Deu. 6:4). We are told “Do not go after other mighty ones, the mighty ones of the peoples who are all around you, for YHWH (Yahweh) your Elohim is a jealous El in your midst, lest the displeasure of YHWH (Yahweh) your Elohim burn against you, then He shall destroy you from the face of the earth.” (Deu. 6:14,15); “understand that I (YHWH (Yahweh)) am He. Before Me there was no El formed, nor after Me there is none. I, I am YHWH (Yahweh), and besides me there is no Savior” (Isa. 43:10-11). Therefore, it is quite clear from Scripture, that “there is no other Elohim (G-d) but one” (Yahweh).
Since there is only One Yahweh Elohim (G-d), and only one, is He also the Creator?
Let's find out exactly who the Creator is. The very first verse of the Hebrew Scriptures tells us; “In the beginning Elohim created the heaven and the earth.” Since “Elohim” is a title, (Mighty one, Strength) this does not clearly identify the Creator, so we need more information. Gen. 2: 4 reads, “These are the births of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that YHWH (Yahweh) Elohim made the earth and heavens.” It is quite clear here in this passage, that the Elohim of Gen. 1:1 is indeed YHWH (Yahweh), and that He is the Creator.
YHWH (Yahweh) the Creator alone IS SELF-Existent, (the UN-originated original). He is First of all things (Isa. 41:4), and He alone is Creator (Ps 146:5-6). This being a basic truth direct from Scripture, we must conclude that ALL that has existence must have come into being by YHWH (Yahweh).
The Nachash (wrongly translated ‘Serpent’), means, “shinning enchanter” must also be a product of YHWH (Yahweh)’s Creation. “Now the Nachash was shrewd above every living thing of the field (earth life) that YHWH (Yahweh) Elohim made” (Gen. 3:1). Note: This is the same created individual that talked the woman Eve into disobeying YHWH (Yahweh) in the Garden of Eden. The offspring (descendants) of the Nachash, and the offspring, of the woman Eve (and Adam) will have hatred between them (Gen. 3:15). In other-words, the ‘adversary pressure’ placed upon the descendants of Adam and Eve (Adamites) by the descendants of the Nachash is continuous, and the result is hatred. The Nachash are adversaries (and are satan's) toward Adamites.
This matter of YHWH (Yahweh) creating the Nachash is very important, and requires some very serious thought, because in it lies the whole cause of Adams sin entrance into the arranged plan of YHWH (Yahweh)’s Creation (world). You see, YHWH (Yahweh) is an Elohim of purpose. He says, “My counsel does stand, and all My delight I do” (Isa.46: 10). “And I have created the waster to destroy” (Isa.54: 16). The Nachash are simply in the plan of YHWH (Yahweh) and were created to perform a specific purpose in accordance with the Creator’s will.
Did YHWH (Yahweh) create the Nachash and his descendants just as an experiment? Did He know being the all-wise Creator what the result would be. Yes, He knew what the outcome would be, He knew the result, and it was just as He had planned it. YHWH (Yahweh) did not create a world, then turn it loose to see what would happen. He watches each one of His creatures very closely. There is nothing that occurs without His foreknowledge. YHWH (Yahweh) knows what will occur from the beginning of time, just as though it had already occurred. His knowledge is unlimited, knowing the end from the beginning (Isa.46: 10).
YHWH (Yahweh) in His wisdom saw the need for an adversary(s), an opponent(s), (or a satan) someone to work counter to His plans and purpose, and to undertake an attempt to overthrow His ultimate plan of the salvation and praise of all of His creation. So, we see that that an adversary, and even EVIL itself, is in YHWH (Yahweh)’s plan. Without opposition, YHWH (Yahweh) could never show His superiority, His love. This fact is simple when we think of it. YHWH (Yahweh) needs sin and wickedness in order to have an opportunity to show to the creation (world), His mighty power over adversaries, the Adversary and his satellites. If the Pharaoh of Egypt had not been motivated by an EVIL spirit he would not have held the children of Israel in bondage. All occurred so that YHWH (Yahweh) might show to the Creation His power over the adversary(s). Pharaoh’s heart was made stubborn by YHWH (Yahweh) (Exodus 10:1-2).
There are many events recorded in Scripture, where YHWH (Yahweh) used an adversary (a satan) to carry out His purpose. It is evident that even Judas of himself would not have been strong enough to have betrayed the Messiah Yahushua (J_sus), but he was fortified by the Adversary (Luke 22:3). Only then was he able to betray Yahushua. In this way YHWH (Yahweh)’s plan was again completed.
We can never appreciate the good, if it were not contrasted with bad. Had we not known darkness, we would not appreciate the light. We must first be hungry to enjoy a good meal. YHWH (Yahweh) could never have worked out His great purpose without contrast in His creation, such as EVIL and wickedness. A physician would not receive any praise in his profession if he found no one sick. Neither would YHWH (Yahweh) be praised for the deliverance ‘from sin’ if no one had been lost ‘in sin’. Nothing can be accomplished without contrast. But the comforting thought is that YHWH (Yahweh), by whom all things exist, is not only able but will transmute all EVIL, wickedness, and sin into good. No wonder the Scriptures tell us, “For the wrath of mankind praises You YHWH (Yahweh)” (Psa.76: 10).
’Modern Christendom’ would have us believe the error, that the being called Satan was first created an angel (messenger) then fell and lost his first estate. However, John says that he sinned from the beginning (1 Jn. 3:8). If this adversary called Satan was created a messenger, and then fell without YHWH (Yahweh)’s knowledge, attention or control, in an independent act of his own will, would the inhabitants of heaven (or of the earth), ever be safe at any time, not knowing when one of the other messengers might of his own authority decide to become EVIL, and destroy the whole of YHWH (Yahweh)’s plan and purpose? Of course not. We are told in the Scriptures to let YHWH (Yahweh) be true and every man a liar.
We must believe that YHWH (Yahweh) is operating the whole universe, all of His creation, and is in full control, directing each occurrence. Why should we try to shield YHWH (Yahweh)’s association with EVIL, when He says, “YHWH (Yahweh) has made all for His purpose and also the wrong for the day of EVIL” (Pro.16: 4). ” forming the light and creating darkness, making peace and creating EVIL, I, YHWH (Yahweh), do all these” (Isa.45: 7).
YHWH (Yahweh) Creates EVIL (the bad)
The following verses show that YHWH (Yahweh) creates EVIL, that he threatens people with EVIL, and that he sends EVIL spirits, among other things. As you read through these verses (and please don't skim quickly over them), note that these verses make it very clear that YHWH (Yahweh) is responsible for EVIL, and not simply a passive bystander “allowing” EVIL to happen.
In the verses that follow, we have replaced the true name, YHWH (Yahweh), for “the LORD” and “Elohim”
We quote the first set of verses in several versions, because the newer translations try to soften the conflict by translating the Hebrew “RA” (EVIL) as “disaster” or “woe” or “calamity.” But it doesn't really matter what English word is used. The hideous effects are the same, and YHWH (Yahweh) claims responsibility for them all.
First, the correct definition of the word EVIL.
In the Hebrew, the word EVIL is “RA”, and simply means “bad,” in the Greek the word is “KAK-ON” the meani
ng is the same (the opposite of good) i.e. bad. But, the definition is to be distinguished from sin, in that it is not a mistake when YHWH (Yahweh) creates EVIL. Thus, the word has no moral tinge.
Isaiah 45:7
NIV: I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and CREATE DISASTER; I, YHWH (Yahweh), do all these things.
NASB: The One forming light and creating darkness, Causing well being and CREATING CALAMITY; I am YHWH (Yahweh) who does all these.
RSV: I form light and create darkness, I make weal and CREATE WOE, I am YHWH (Yahweh), who do[es] all these things.
KJV: I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and CREATE EVIL: I YHWH (Yahweh) do all these things.
DBY: forming the light and creating darkness, making peace and CREATING EVIL: I, YHWH (Yahweh), do all these things.
YLT: Forming light, and preparing darkness, Making peace, and PREPARING EVIL, I [am] YHWH (Yahweh), doing all these things.'
Lamentations 3:38
NIV: Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both CALAMITIES and good things come?
NASB: Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both good and ILL go forth?
RSV: Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that good and EVIL come?
KJV: Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not EVIL and good?
DBY: Out of the mouth of the Most High doeth not there proceed EVIL and good?
YLT: From the mouth of the Most High Go not forth the EVILS and the good.
Jeremiah 26:3
NIV: Perhaps they will listen and each will turn from his EVIL way. Then I will relent and not bring on them the DISASTER I was planning because of the EVIL they have done.
NASB: “Perhaps they will listen and everyone will turn from his EVIL way, that I may repent of the CALAMITY which I am planning to do to them because of the EVIL of their deeds.'
RSV: It may be they will listen, and every one turn from his EVIL way, that I may repent of the EVIL which I intend to do to them because of their EVIL doings.
KJV: If so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his EVIL way, that I may repent me of the EVIL, which I purpose to do unto them because of the EVIL of their doings.
DBY: Peradventure they will hearken, and turn every man from his EVIL way, that I may repent me of the EVIL which I purpose to do unto them because of the wickedness of their doings.
YLT: If so be they hearken, and turn back each from his EVIL way, then I have repented concerning the EVIL that I am thinking of doing to them, because of the EVIL of their doings.

What About the Creation of Angels? Are Positive/Negative Aspects Also Associated with Them?YHWH (Yahweh) both used and sustains (both the positive and the negative ones) good and evil, this also applies to angels, as well as to man and every other created thing in the universe. We will first concentrate on the negative side of the characteristics and purposes of angels 'messengers' (since in man's experience this is the most neglected because we almost always want to associate 'celestial' angels with “righteousness” and “goodness” and not the evil side of the angelic realm). But, in the Holy Scriptures, all of the verses of the Scripture that describe the actions of angels (no matter what type of angelic creatures are being discussed: cherubs, archangels and other distinctions), the negative attributes of angels are emphasized far more in the Scripture than their righteous characteristics. After all, we are told in no uncertain terms that the accuser is shown to have been created by YHWH (Yahweh) to be “a murderer from the beginning” — that is, from the very commencement of his creation he was already reckoned by YHWH (Yahweh) to be a murderer (John 8:44). Furthermore, he is called “a liar and the father of it [lying]” (also John 8:44). The last part of the verse means that Yahshua considered satan (adversary in the Hebrew) as the first one ever to tell a lie — that is, he was a lying murderer from the beginning of his existence. What we must realize is the fact that satan can do no more than YHWH (Yahweh) has determined for that angelic power to perform. Satan is completely dominated by (and even governed by) the will and commands of YHWH (Yahweh) the Father. Even though satan is a murderer and liar, satan can do no more that YHWH (Yahweh) allows him, or that YHWH (Yahweh) tells him to do (as in Job 1:6-12 and 2:1-6). And even if, on some occasions YHWH (Yahweh) does let the adversary touch our lives with evil, the outcome will always be to our benefit. The inspired Scriptures teach: “All things work together for good to them that love YHWH (Yahweh), to them that are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28). We will always be the winners in the end, no matter what!
It is pure nonsense and decidedly anti-biblical to state (or even to believe) that the adversary (satan) was at first a righteous angel that somehow fell from grace after his creation. This false doctrine is normally taught by some theologians and preachers because they erroneously declare that satan is the anointed cherub who covered the Mercy Seat in the heavenly House of God as described in Ezekiel 28:11-19. That “King of Tyre” was another personality altogether. The truth is, the adversary was created and ordained to do his role as a murderer and to be the father of liars from his first spark of his life. That is the clear teaching of the Scripture. When he performs in this capacity, he is in fact doing YHWH (Yahweh)'s will.
The Supreme Authority of YHWH (Yahweh) the Creator
Deuteronomy 10:14 “See, the heavens, and the heaven of heavens belong to YHWH (Yahweh) your Elohim, also the earth with all that is in it.” TS
Deuteronomy 32:39 “See now that I, I am he, And there is no Elohim besides Me. I put to death and I make alive. I have wounded, and I heal. And from My hand no one delivers.” TS
1 Samuel 2:6-8 “YHWH (Yahweh) puts to death and makes alive, He brings down to the gave, and raises up. YHWH (Yahweh) makes poor and makes rich, He brings low and lifts up, He raises the poor from the dust, He lifts the needy from the dunghill, to sit with princes, and make them inherit a throne of esteem.” TS
2 Chronicles 20:6 “0 YHWH (Yahweh) Elohim of our fathers, are You not our Elohim in the heavens, and do You not rule over all the reigns of the nations, and in Your hand is there not power and might, so that no one is able to stand against You?” TS
Jeremiah 27:5,6 “I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are on the face of the earth, by My great power and by My outstretched arm. And I shall give it unto whom it seemed right in My eyes. And now, I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebukadnetstsar the sovereign of Babel, My servant. And the beasts of the field I have also given him to serve him.” TS
Daniel 4:17 “…the most High is ruler in the reign of men, and gives it to whomever He wishes, and sets over it the lowest of men.” TS
1 Chronicles 29:11 “Yours, O YHWH (Yahweh), is the greatness, the power and the comeliness, the pre-eminence and the excellency, because of all that is in the heavens and in the earth. Yours is the reign, O YHWH (Yahweh), and You are exalted as head above all.” TS
Conclusion
The Scriptural citations given here are not a complete collection of all the passages available in the Scriptures, but are sufficient to show the intent of this article, that (a) YHWH (Yahweh) is the Creator of all that exists, and in complete control of all His Creation and, (b) As the Creator, YHWH (Yahweh) is the author of both good and EVIL.
So you can see that the Scriptures credits YHWH (Yahweh) with responsibility for EVIL. Next time you hear of or personally see or experience a calamity or disaster, or woe, or any other kind of EVIL, the biblical thing for you to do would be to credit YHWH (Yahweh) with it. Disease, starvation, natural catastrophes of all kinds are claimed by YHWH (Yahweh). According to the Scriptures he often sends these pestilences out of revenge, or for correction, but sometimes he sends them for no apparent reason to us at all except his caprice.
The old Christian ruse that YHWH (Yahweh) simply “allows” EVIL to happen cannot stand up to these Scriptural citations. For the Christian to deny this, he also has to deny the subject-verb grammar of YHWH (Yahweh)'s “Word,” which is said to have been inspired down to the detail of the individual words chosen by the holy spirit.
So, either the Scripture(s) are not inerrant, or YHWH (Yahweh) is indeed responsible for EVIL, creating it and putting it to use regularly in accordance with his will, for His purpose!
The false doctrine that there was a war in heaven between the Creator and his created creatures is false doctrine. The Creator is always in full control of his creation, and all is in complete accord
with His purpose.
Yes, the adversary(s), and the (opponent(s), satan(s) are created cunning and crafty, and would deceive the very elect if possible. Yet they will never succeed in undoing anything that YHWH (Yahweh) has purposed to do. “With Him (YHWH (Yahweh)) are strength and ability. The misled and the misleader are His. He leads counselors away stripped, and makes judges go mad” (Job 12:16,17). The Adversary is chained (restricted) on earth, and limited, and because of the Messiah, can no longer appear before YHWH (Yahweh). This ‘prosecutor, our accuser’ is now limited on the earth, and to the earth, and can only go the ‘length of his chain’. In the case of Job’s afflictions, (prior to Messiahs coming) YHWH (Yahweh) told him just how far he could go, and he could not go any farther. In each instance where YHWH (Yahweh) told him what to do, he obeyed. The Adversary and his satellites are all subjects of YHWH (Yahweh) they can promote EVIL, but for YHWH (Yahweh)'s purpose only, and all are absolutely, at all times, under the control of their Creator.
But, let us keep in mind, that the Adversary(s) career is temporary. It will all end in YHWH (Yahweh)’s appointed time, but all in complete accordance with His plan.Link: http://assemblyoftrueisrael.com/Documents/YahwehandSatan.html

Or….YHWH (Yahweh) (as) Satan, (an Adversary)
There is One True Mighty One, (G-d) and only One. “Hear O Israel, YHWH (Yahweh) our Elohim (G-d), YHWH (Yahweh) is one! (Deu. 6:4). We are told “Do not go after other mighty ones, the mighty ones of the peoples who are all around you, for YHWH (Yahweh) your Elohim is a jealous El in your midst, lest the displeasure of YHWH (Yahweh) your Elohim burn against you, then He shall destroy you from the face of the earth.” (Deu. 6:14,15); “understand that I (YHWH (Yahweh)) am He. Before Me there was no El formed, nor after Me there is none. I, I am YHWH (Yahweh), and besides me there is no Savior” (Isa. 43:10-11). Therefore, it is quite clear from Scripture, that “there is no other Elohim (G-d) but one” (Yahweh).
Since there is only One Yahweh Elohim (G-d), and only one, is He also the Creator?
Let's find out exactly who the Creator is. The very first verse of the Hebrew Scriptures tells us; “In the beginning Elohim created the heaven and the earth.” Since “Elohim” is a title, (Mighty one, Strength) this does not clearly identify the Creator, so we need more information. Gen. 2: 4 reads, “These are the births of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that YHWH (Yahweh) Elohim made the earth and heavens.” It is quite clear here in this passage, that the Elohim of Gen. 1:1 is indeed YHWH (Yahweh), and that He is the Creator.
YHWH (Yahweh) the Creator alone IS SELF-Existent, (the UN-originated original). He is First of all things (Isa. 41:4), and He alone is Creator (Ps 146:5-6). This being a basic truth direct from Scripture, we must conclude that ALL that has existence must have come into being by YHWH (Yahweh).
The Nachash (wrongly translated ‘Serpent’), means, “shinning enchanter” must also be a product of YHWH (Yahweh)’s Creation. “Now the Nachash was shrewd above every living thing of the field (earth life) that YHWH (Yahweh) Elohim made” (Gen. 3:1). Note: This is the same created individual that talked the woman Eve into disobeying YHWH (Yahweh) in the Garden of Eden. The offspring (descendants) of the Nachash, and the offspring, of the woman Eve (and Adam) will have hatred between them (Gen. 3:15). In other-words, the ‘adversary pressure’ placed upon the descendants of Adam and Eve (Adamites) by the descendants of the Nachash is continuous, and the result is hatred. The Nachash are adversaries (and are satan's) toward Adamites.
This matter of YHWH (Yahweh) creating the Nachash is very important, and requires some very serious thought, because in it lies the whole cause of Adams sin entrance into the arranged plan of YHWH (Yahweh)’s Creation (world). You see, YHWH (Yahweh) is an Elohim of purpose. He says, “My counsel does stand, and all My delight I do” (Isa.46: 10). “And I have created the waster to destroy” (Isa.54: 16). The Nachash are simply in the plan of YHWH (Yahweh) and were created to perform a specific purpose in accordance with the Creator’s will.
Did YHWH (Yahweh) create the Nachash and his descendants just as an experiment? Did He know being the all-wise Creator what the result would be. Yes, He knew what the outcome would be, He knew the result, and it was just as He had planned it. YHWH (Yahweh) did not create a world, then turn it loose to see what would happen. He watches each one of His creatures very closely. There is nothing that occurs without His foreknowledge. YHWH (Yahweh) knows what will occur from the beginning of time, just as though it had already occurred. His knowledge is unlimited, knowing the end from the beginning (Isa.46: 10).
YHWH (Yahweh) in His wisdom saw the need for an adversary(s), an opponent(s), (or a satan) someone to work counter to His plans and purpose, and to undertake an attempt to overthrow His ultimate plan of the salvation and praise of all of His creation. So, we see that that an adversary, and even EVIL itself, is in YHWH (Yahweh)’s plan. Without opposition, YHWH (Yahweh) could never show His superiority, His love. This fact is simple when we think of it. YHWH (Yahweh) needs sin and wickedness in order to have an opportunity to show to the creation (world), His mighty power over adversaries, the Adversary and his satellites. If the Pharaoh of Egypt had not been motivated by an EVIL spirit he would not have held the children of Israel in bondage. All occurred so that YHWH (Yahweh) might show to the Creation His power over the adversary(s). Pharaoh’s heart was made stubborn by YHWH (Yahweh) (Exodus 10:1-2).
There are many events recorded in Scripture, where YHWH (Yahweh) used an adversary (a satan) to carry out His purpose. It is evident that even Judas of himself would not have been strong enough to have betrayed the Messiah Yahushua (J_sus), but he was fortified by the Adversary (Luke 22:3). Only then was he able to betray Yahushua. In this way YHWH (Yahweh)’s plan was again completed.
We can never appreciate the good, if it were not contrasted with bad. Had we not known darkness, we would not appreciate the light. We must first be hungry to enjoy a good meal. YHWH (Yahweh) could never have worked out His great purpose without contrast in His creation, such as EVIL and wickedness. A physician would not receive any praise in his profession if he found no one sick. Neither would YHWH (Yahweh) be praised for the deliverance ‘from sin’ if no one had been lost ‘in sin’. Nothing can be accomplished without contrast. But the comforting thought is that YHWH (Yahweh), by whom all things exist, is not only able but will transmute all EVIL, wickedness, and sin into good. No wonder the Scriptures tell us, “For the wrath of mankind praises You YHWH (Yahweh)” (Psa.76: 10).
’Modern Christendom’ would have us believe the error, that the being called Satan was first created an angel (messenger) then fell and lost his first estate. However, John says that he sinned from the beginning (1 Jn. 3:8). If this adversary called Satan was created a messenger, and then fell without YHWH (Yahweh)’s knowledge, attention or control, in an independent act of his own will, would the inhabitants of heaven (or of the earth), ever be safe at any time, not knowing when one of the other messengers might of his own authority decide to become EVIL, and destroy the whole of YHWH (Yahweh)’s plan and purpose? Of course not. We are told in the Scriptures to let YHWH (Yahweh) be true and every man a liar.
We must believe that YHWH (Yahweh) is operating the whole universe, all of His creation, and is in full control, directing each occurrence. Why should we try to shield YHWH (Yahweh)’s association with EVIL, when He says, “YHWH (Yahweh) has made all for His purpose and also the wrong for the day of EVIL” (Pro.16: 4). ” forming the light and creating darkness, making peace and creating EVIL, I, YHWH (Yahweh), do all these” (Isa.45: 7).
YHWH (Yahweh) Creates EVIL (the bad)
The following verses show that YHWH (Yahweh) creates EVIL, that he threatens people with EVIL, and that he sends EVIL spirits, among other things. As you read through these verses (and please don't skim quickly over them), note that these verses make it very clear that YHWH (Yahweh) is responsible for EVIL, and not simply a passive bystander “allowing” EVIL to happen.
In the verses that follow, we have replaced the true name, YHWH (Yahweh), for “the LORD” and “Elohim”
We quote the first set of verses in several versions, because the newer translations try to soften the conflict by translating the Hebrew “RA” (EVIL) as “disaster” or “woe” or “calamity.” But it doesn't really matter what English word is used. The hideous effects are
the same, and YHWH (Yahweh) claims responsibility for them all.
First, the correct definition of the word EVIL.
In the Hebrew, the word EVIL is “RA”, and simply means “bad,” in the Greek the word is “KAK-ON” the meaning is the same (the opposite of good) i.e. bad. But, the definition is to be distinguished from sin, in that it is not a mistake when YHWH (Yahweh) creates EVIL. Thus, the word has no moral tinge.
Isaiah 45:7
NIV: I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and CREATE DISASTER; I, YHWH (Yahweh), do all these things.
NASB: The One forming light and creating darkness, Causing well being and CREATING CALAMITY; I am YHWH (Yahweh) who does all these.

DBY: forming the light and creating darkness, making peace and CREATING EVIL: I, YHWH (Yahweh), do all these things.
YLT: Forming light, and preparing darkness, Making peace, and PREPARING EVIL, I [am] YHWH (Yahweh), doing all these things.'
Lamentations 3:38
NIV: Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both CALAMITIES and good things come?
NASB: Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both good and ILL go forth?
RSV: Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that good and EVIL come?
KJV: Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not EVIL and good?
DBY: Out of the mouth of the Most High doeth not there proceed EVIL and good?
YLT: From the mouth of the Most High Go not forth the EVILS and the good.
Jeremiah 26:3
NIV: Perhaps they will listen and each will turn from his EVIL way. Then I will relent and not bring on them the DISASTER I was planning because of the EVIL they have done.
NASB: “Perhaps they will listen and everyone will turn from his EVIL way, that I may repent of the CALAMITY which I am planning to do to them because of the EVIL of their deeds.'
RSV: It may be they will listen, and every one turn from his EVIL way, that I may repent of the EVIL which I intend to do to them because of their EVIL doings.
KJV: If so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his EVIL way, that I may repent me of the EVIL, which I purpose to do unto them because of the EVIL of their doings.
DBY: Peradventure they will hearken, and turn every man from his EVIL way, that I may repent me of the EVIL which I purpose to do unto them because of the wickedness of their doings.
YLT: If so be they hearken, and turn back each from his EVIL way, then I have repented concerning the EVIL that I am thinking of doing to them, because of the EVIL of their doings.

What About the Creation of Angels? Are Positive/Negative Aspects Also Associated with Them?YHWH (Yahweh) both used and sustains (both the positive and the negative ones) good and evil, this also applies to angels, as well as to man and every other created thing in the universe. We will first concentrate on the negative side of the characteristics and purposes of angels 'messengers' (since in man's experience this is the most neglected because we almost always want to associate 'celestial' angels with “righteousness” and “goodness” and not the evil side of the angelic realm). But, in the Holy Scriptures, all of the verses of the Scripture that describe the actions of angels (no matter what type of angelic creatures are being discussed: cherubs, archangels and other distinctions), the negative attributes of angels are emphasized far more in the Scripture than their righteous characteristics. After all, we are told in no uncertain terms that the accuser is shown to have been created by YHWH (Yahweh) to be “a murderer from the beginning” — that is, from the very commencement of his creation he was already reckoned by YHWH (Yahweh) to be a murderer (John 8:44). Furthermore, he is called “a liar and the father of it [lying]” (also John 8:44). The last part of the verse means that Yahshua considered satan (adversary in the Hebrew) as the first one ever to tell a lie — that is, he was a lying murderer from the beginning of his existence. What we must realize is the fact that satan can do no more than YHWH (Yahweh) has determined for that angelic power to perform. Satan is completely dominated by (and even governed by) the will and commands of YHWH (Yahweh) the Father. Even though satan is a murderer and liar, satan can do no more that YHWH (Yahweh) allows him, or that YHWH (Yahweh) tells him to do (as in Job 1:6-12 and 2:1-6). And even if, on some occasions YHWH (Yahweh) does let the adversary touch our lives with evil, the outcome will always be to our benefit. The inspired Scriptures teach: “All things work together for good to them that love YHWH (Yahweh), to them that are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28). We will always be the winners in the end, no matter what!
It is pure nonsense and decidedly anti-biblical to state (or even to believe) that the adversary (satan) was at first a righteous angel that somehow fell from grace after his creation. This false doctrine is normally taught by some theologians and preachers because they erroneously declare that satan is the anointed cherub who covered the Mercy Seat in the heavenly House of God as described in Ezekiel 28:11-19. That “King of Tyre” was another personality altogether. The truth is, the adversary was created and ordained to do his role as a murderer and to be the father of liars from his first spark of his life. That is the clear teaching of the Scripture. When he performs in this capacity, he is in fact doing YHWH (Yahweh)'s will.
The Supreme Authority of YHWH (Yahweh) the Creator
Deuteronomy 10:14 “See, the heavens, and the heaven of heavens belong to YHWH (Yahweh) your Elohim, also the earth with all that is in it.” TS
Deuteronomy 32:39 “See now that I, I am he, And there is no Elohim besides Me. I put to death and I make alive. I have wounded, and I heal. And from My hand no one delivers.” TS
1 Samuel 2:6-8 “YHWH (Yahweh) puts to death and makes alive, He brings down to the gave, and raises up. YHWH (Yahweh) makes poor and makes rich, He brings low and lifts up, He raises the poor from the dust, He lifts the needy from the dunghill, to sit with princes, and make them inherit a throne of esteem.” TS
2 Chronicles 20:6 “0 YHWH (Yahweh) Elohim of our fathers, are You not our Elohim in the heavens, and do You not rule over all the reigns of the nations, and in Your hand is there not power and might, so that no one is able to stand against You?” TS
Jeremiah 27:5,6 “I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are on the face of the earth, by My great power and by My outstretched arm. And I shall give it unto whom it seemed right in My eyes. And now, I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebukadnetstsar the sovereign of Babel, My servant. And the beasts of the field I have also given him to serve him.” TS
Daniel 4:17 “…the most High is ruler in the reign of men, and gives it to whomever He wishes, and sets over it the lowest of men.” TS
1 Chronicles 29:11 “Yours, O YHWH (Yahweh), is the greatness, the power and the comeliness, the pre-eminence and the excellency, because of all that is in the heavens and in the earth. Yours is the reign, O YHWH (Yahweh), and You are exalted as head above all.” TS
Conclusion
The Scriptural citations given here are not a complete collection of all the passages available in the Scriptures, but are sufficient to show the intent of this article, that (a) YHWH (Yahweh) is the Creator of all that exists, and in complete control of all His Creation and, (b) As the Creator, YHWH (Yahweh) is the author of both good and EVIL.
So you can see that the Scriptures credits YHWH (Yahweh) with responsibility for EVIL. Next time you hear of or personally see or experience a calamity or disaster, or woe, or any other kind of EVIL, the biblical thing for you to do would be to credit YHWH (Yahweh) with it. Disease, starvation, natural catastrophes of all kinds are claimed by YHWH (Yahweh). According to the Scriptures he often sends these pestilences out of revenge, or for correction, but sometimes he sends them for no apparent reason to us at all except his caprice.
The old Christian ruse that YHWH (Yahweh) simply “allows” EVIL to happen cannot stand up to these Scriptural citations. For the Christian to deny this, he also has to deny the subject-verb grammar of YHWH (Yahweh)'s “Word,” which is said to have been inspired down to the detail of the individual words chosen by the holy spirit.
So, either the Scripture(s) are not inerrant, or YHWH (Yahweh) is indeed responsible for EVIL, creating it and putting it to use regularly in accordance with his will,
for His purpose!
The false doctrine that there was a war in heaven between the Creator and his created creatures is false doctrine. The Creator is always in full control of his creation, and all is in complete accord with His purpose.
Yes, the adversary(s), and the (opponent(s), satan(s) are created cunning and crafty, and would deceive the very elect if possible. Yet they will never succeed in undoing anything that YHWH (Yahweh) has purposed to do. “With Him (YHWH (Yahweh)) are strength and ability. The misled and the misleader are His. He leads counselors away stripped, and makes judges go mad” (Job 12:16,17). The Adversary is chained (restricted) on earth, and limited, and because of the Messiah, can no longer appear before YHWH (Yahweh). This ‘prosecutor, our accuser’ is now limited on the earth, and to the earth, and can only go the ‘length of his chain’. In the case of Job’s afflictions, (prior to Messiahs coming) YHWH (Yahweh) told him just how far he could go, and he could not go any farther. In each instance where YHWH (Yahweh) told him what to do, he obeyed. The Adversary and his satellites are all subjects of YHWH (Yahweh) they can promote EVIL, but for YHWH (Yahweh)'s purpose only, and all are absolutely, at all times, under the control of their Creator.
But, let us keep in mind, that the Adversary(s) career is temporary. It will all end in YHWH (Yahweh)’s appointed time, but all in complete accordance with His plan.Link: http://assemblyoftrueisrael.com/Documents/YahwehandSatan.html
Hello Adam,So Satan, a created being is an adversary of God, who created him? I don't think so.
Satan is a murderer from the beginning and the Father of lies.
Adam, you must be right, God got bored and wanted to throw in some drama (Satan). Life was too dull with everyone following Him and being “Good”. So, He started in His house in Heaven and allowed Satan to raise his throne above God's so He could kick out 1/3rd of them and put them in jail on Earth.
He knew that He would be creating Man on Earth so He made sure Satan and his demons were here to spicen up our lives.God only gave one prohibition to Man…..and wouldn't you know it….Satan began talking to Eve about it. Boy was he good, he even quoted God….And who knows how long, 1 day or 2,000 years he was finally able to wear her down and she ate….and gave to her husband and he ate and then all evil entered in. Not to mention disease and sickness.
Wow! Was God ever surprised by Adam and Eve “falling” so he threw in Plan B, but that didn't work either because God, who didn't know his head from his Axx felt remorse and decided to kill everyone that was on the Earth except for 8 people….to cover-up His errors.
YHWH was besides Himself and pull out good ole trusty Plan C, killing His son so that the world might be saved thru him.
How is the story going?
Well, Satan tried to trick God's son into claiming to be God, by quoting Scriptures but couldn't so he went to plan B. Satan said to himself, I was able to trick Eve by telling her that she, too, could be God, if she would only eat of the forbidden fruit and she “bit”. I tried the food stuff with Yahshua but he didn't bite. How about if I tell his followers that Yahshua isn't the son of God but he is really God incarnate? And wouldn't you know it,,,,they bit! Now he had to concoct a fable so big that no one could fathom it so he said, “I'll tell them that there aren't 3 gods in 1 but 1 God in 3 persons.” And wouldn't you know it, they fell for it , hook, line and sinker.
Satan knew that his time was almost over and that Yahshua was coming back so he decided to eliminate God's chosen people from the Earth, beginning the holocaust. This not only failed but it got the Jews a foothold in Palestine and they got their nation back…..
Satan's dubious ending is recorded in the annals of Revelation if you care to see how he loses.
