This was the question in an sms message that woke me up on a particular morning. The   SMS was sent by a Christian brother. This is the full content of the message:

 “(While I was) studying Genesis 1 verse 1-4, can we say God created darkness? Because He did not say… Let their be darkness as He called forth light… Did God create darkness?”

 After reading the text message, the Holy Spirit prompted me to send a Bible text to him – Isaiah 45:7 and the content of this read thus:

 “I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace and create calamity: I the Lord do all these things”

 I expected this passage to make this brother to ask more questions which he had not done until the time I’m posting this message.

 But if I want to read into his mind, I am sure the following questions will be forming in his heart or mind:

 

·        How can God be the creator of light and darkness at the same time?

·        God is holy and good, how then is He having something to do with darkness?

·        If God created darkness, it is for what purpose?

 

 

I believe strongly that the above questions needed answers so that this Christian Brother (and probably you) can increase in understanding.

 Well. Thank God for His Holy Sprit. He is ever ready to guide us into all truths.

 I will be sharing what He taught me with you in my next post. In the mean time, I want to read your comments.
