Question
Hi
I was also taught that nothing evil comes from the Lord. In 1st Samuel 16-14 it says an evil spirit was sent by the Lord to Saul also in 1st Samuel 18-10.
Can you explain this to me
Thanks,
Sydney
Peace
Dear Sydney
God may have allowed an evil spirit to come to Saul because that what he wanted. We have free wills, if reject God, we "invite" evil spirits.
I suggest reading the book in the Bible called Job.
your servant but His first

Expertise
I am willing to attempt to answer any question. If I don’t know the answer, I will look-up or pass the question on to friends for feed back. Beside Catholicism (especially the social/moral and the Eastern rites), I am well read on Mormonism and so-called Modern Christian Fundamentalism. Also I study Franciscan History as means of growing in my lay Franciscan calling to holiness in Christ.
