1 | What kind of light is darkness? | Luke 11:35 | Shankara | 138366 | ||
Darkness is the absence of light. Whereas light consists of photons, then absolute darkness would not be light for there would be no photons present to constitute the classic definition of what light is. | ||||||

I am sorry for being so slow in responding to all those who had questions concerning my reply to the person who asked,"Why does God allow evil in the world." I have been busy in other directions over the holiday. I hope this response covers everyones questions and statements concerning this matter. If not, feel free to contact me at shankara@comcast.net In reference to part of the sources for my reply, I used Isaiah 45:7 and the way it uses the Hebrew word "rah" here as a substitute for the English word "evil." It will only require a little research on the questioner's behalf to verify that the more correct rendering of that word from ncient Hebrew to modern English would be the word "disasters." Most of your newer and better translations have inserted this correction. One of these is the New Jerusalem Bible, an excellent translation with a substantive number of translators of high asnd favorable reknown. While the King James is without any doubt the most poetic and verbally beautiful translation ever done, as well as being my favorite and the one I mot often use,nevertheless it like all translations as well as people has many shortcomings and mistakes. Though, as in this case, I feel with but a few corrections it is by and large as good a translation as any, so please don't let any correction I might offer be interpreted as a condemnation of this incredible work. |

6 | why does God allow evil to exsit | Bible general Archive 2 | Shankara | 138054 | ||
God does note allow evil. Now, folks will try and refer you to Isaiah 45:7 and tell you, as in the KJV that it is pericious evil. Don't believe them. You have to be careful about rendering the word "evil" from ancient Hebrew to English, particularly as it is read from Isaiah 45:7. This is where a great deal of confusion among Protestants and Catholics gets turned around. The word here means not "evil" as we understand it, but more in the meaning of the word "confusion" To fully explain why we actually experience in our conscious awareness the state we call evil, let me refer you to Gen. 2:17, here it is man who made the decision to become aware of evil as well as good. Before that time man existed in Eden where his world was only absolute balance and harmony, the middle path, neither good nor evil. Only through a conscious decision on man's part did he enter the realm where evil exist. You still have the same choice as Adam and Eve had. Do you eat of the fruit or not, in otherwords become aware of, as well as exist in the realm of good and evil?You have a choice, or so I discovered to my family's dismay.This is a difficult concept to grasp, but it will help you if you check out any of the books by Joel Goldsmith. They have liberated me from the fundamentalistic world I was lost in before. Mind you, not the books themselves, rather the wisdom they contain. I bet I'll get a ton of emails now from those lost down the road to fundamentalism and Calvary. Oh, well, at least maybe I liberated one more soul lost in the transgressive-ridden world of fundamental misconceptrions. | ||||||
