Subject: "I make peace, and create evil" |
Bible Note: You wrote: 'Because if there was no evil there could be no good. Good and Evil depend on each other for their existence.' No they don't. You wrote: 'Without one the other would become "normal".' "Good" can be the norm (and in heaven, it is the norm). "Good" and "normal" are not mutually exclusive conditions. You wrote: 'Joe, with all that you know how is it that you can't see that God is above "GOOD".' Because the Bible explicitly says otherwise. 'God is limitless, and "GOOD" places a limit. Is there not anything higher than "GOOD"?' Ummm...holy? There is not good higher than God. You wrote: 'It won't matter how "good" you are or how much "good" you do, it can't equal God. "Good" is limited.' My good is limited, because of my tendency to rebel against God's goodness and my lack of omnipotence and eternality, and due to my finiteness. God is hindered by none of these. God is holy, absolutely unlimited in his moral goodness. --Joe! |
