Without God, Evil does not exists
 

Isaiah 45:7
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things

I had this Scripture come to mind this morning. So I began to think, without God there's no evil in the world. God is the measure by which we know goodness. It is by God's moral light, the standard by which we live, the standard that creates goodness. Without God, there's no evil in the world as there's nothing to compare the ungodly, "For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved" --John 3:20

Yup, there is only One Power.
One.

Yep, I don't have the concept of god in my life, so yes, I don't see evil, I only see what arises, and what arises we label, good or evil.

I disagree. I believe the first part of the O.T. God said let there be light and created then everything and it was good. God has no part in evil, illness, decay, suffering or death.

Without so called god there cannot be sickness, or what we call good and evil, ...god or Consciousness, is all there is, these things that we don't like are just waves on the ocean of consciousness, we concentrate too much on the wave and forget what is below the wave.

Sorry Psychoslice...I wasn't disagreeing with you. I was disagreeing with the original post from TeeHee.

I do agree that at the very beginning all was good, but further reading has it in John 3:20 "For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved" says much, with emphasis placed on reproved. How do you explain Isaiah 45:7 Shabby?

Adam and Eve when having ate from the tree were reproved, and when they became, the "measure" by the very things that are wrong, when creation was no longer obedient, things got really ugly.

Romans 5:12
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

Joel S. Goldsmith speaks often in his books about there being only
One Power there is no other Power.
One Source, all comes from that Source.

Not that you have to believe Joel...he is Christian for those that don't
know of him.
(Along with the other New Thought people - you can google
'New Thought' to find the list of authors...very advanced thinkers, you'll see.)

You are right Miss Hepburn and Joel also healed many people.

The belief in being human brings about suffering and physical death. Those that realize they are what came from God see the physical death as just the end of one experience and the beginning of a new one.


Now that I have shared my understanding with you it's only fair that you also share yours with me : )
