A better translation is:

Isaiah 45:7 I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the LORD , do all these things.

I agree, that this is a much more accurate translation. My appalling error did not consist of my failure to grasp the concept set forth in this verse. Rather, it was that I somehow imagined that some of the Calvinists here (on FR) held to the belief that this verse indicated, nay proved, that God was/is the author/creator/first cause of moral evil.

Since the verse in question obviously does not carry that meaning, I must have just imagined that some here had so claimed. Therefore, I must apologize to any I have (unintentionally) defamed, by my faulty memory.
