Speratus, once said, "God does not command evil." How true is this? How does this need to be understood? First, we need to distinguish what is meant by the term "command." Does command here mean "control," "order," etc.? However, WHO ultimately "controls" and "orders" ALL? Second, another question that needs to be answered is "What is evil?" In Scripture, there seems to be a lot that "many" would call "evil" that is "commanded" by God (Deut 2:34; 3:6; 20:16-18;1 Sam 15:2-3, etc.). God orders the destruction of children, infants! Is this "evil"?
