Quote by: Two Cents I've always understood good and evil as the flip sides of a coin. All of us have some of each. I don't think anyone who has lived a while has never lost control of their temper and done or said some stupid things. This may be the same person who stops for the lost dog in the road or the child wandering around a store looking for it's mother. Same person, two different sides of the personality. |
Bless you. I think we are finally having some pretty conversation now. It is my understanding the Hebrews/Jews did not separate good from evil as the Christians have done. Instead for the Jews good and evil are a continium of the same thing. One thing like a scale of 1 to 10. One end being good and the other bad.
Would others please search the bible and compare the Satan of the old testament with the Satan of the new, and when did demons come into the bible? Are the demons of the old and new testament the same? Where in the old testament does if make Satan the king of demons? I keep coming back to this question of what makes us evil. If is Satan why wouldn't God get rid of Satan instead of punishing Satans victims? A mother would not punish a molested child and allow the molester to do it again. This doesn't make sense. Also all the destruction is the work of God not Satan. Where in the bible does it say Satan destroyed a person or whole city? Repeatedly the bible tells us to appease God to prevent the destruction God brings upon us. This just doesn't make sense to me.
