1 Sam 19:
9 Then a harmful spirit from the Lord came upon Saul..
Is there such thing as a evil or a harmful spirit from the Lord? It is the Lord who harden the heart of the Egyptian Pharoah..
Judges 9:23
And God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the leaders of Shechem...
What is all these? Its not only evil, but also anything that is heart hardening..
Are these just the problems of translating the bible from Greek/Hebrews to English?
I am not sure. But I will like to quote from Paul in 2 Cor 12
6 Though if I should wish to boast, I would not be a fool, for I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain from it, so that no one may think more of me than he sees in me or hears from me. 7 So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, [1] a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
His grace is sufficent for me.
