Precisely. So is it not possible for G-d to have created evil, as Isaiah seems pretty clearly to say, but we make it worse and more prevalent through our sin?

Actually satan is still in heaven talking to God all the time. Acusing you and me. Revelations hasn't happened yet has it. You are for or agaisnt God. If you are not fighting satan as God instructed you to then sorry but you have given your power over to satan. Get with it Brothers and Sisters. Start doing your job. God is the highest power. He says for you to put satan under your feet. God bless you all.

Aspen, you have the best posts. You have consistently argued over the idea of dualism, and while I agree that if we focus on the evil of things then we begin to take away from the goodness of God, and give power to the wickedness of evil, I still see a two sided spiritual battle when I read the Word.
Eph. 6: 12
For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against those mighty powers of darkness who rule this world, and against wicked spirits of the heavenly realms.
Rev. 12: 17
Then the dragon became angry at the woman, and he declared war against the rest of her children- all who keep God's commandments and confess that they belong to Jesus.
And, Nuhen, that passage from Isaiah 45 really freaked me out; I love it when the Lord challenges my finite ideas of Him! God bless you all!

Thanks - I like your posts too.
We are resisting an inferior, defeated enemy. Our armor is described by Paul in Galatians - it is a nice balance between obedience and love.
It remains me of the stories about enemy soldiers who do not realize a distant war is over and continue to keep watch and strike out feebly from time to time.
The presence of love is what dampens the fallout of people choosing the lesser good in this world and the act of living by love sanctifies us for the next world.
