Bible Note: "Am I evil for wanting/seeking the truth? If there is a God, he is the one that gave me this mind!" Can there be "evil" if there is no God? Without an absolute God isn't everthing relative? Can you prove you have a "mind"? Is it something more than the electrical and chemical reactions in your brain? If you believe it is more than that, how can you prove it? What exactly is your mind? Is it purely physical or is it something more? How do we acquire knowledge? Your questions are not "evil", nor is seeking the truth. But some truth come by revelation which requires faith. Some revelations are religious and they require discernment and faith because they are not purely physical. But your expressed belief in your own mind is an expression of faith in something you can not see, but which you know is realfrom experience. Still it is not evil to test one's perceptions which can be incomplete or misleading at time, and eaxt and truthful at other times. I think we are getting far afield from the purpose of this forum, which is the study of the Bible, so I will leave off here. Thank you for the conversation. God bless you in your searching. |
