How Does God Know Evil?

Genesis 3:22 Yahweh God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he put forth his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever..."

God is speaking in Genesis with other spirit son's after Adam and Eves fell into sin. He tells those spirit son's that now Adam and Eve knew good and evil like these spirit son's already knew, because of sinning, the same as what God's knows, and his spirit son's? Does God know evil, and what evil are we talking about?

James 3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth. 3:15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic. 3:16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.

Does God sin? Is sin evil too God? In other words, are we left in any doubt about what is evil to God, and if God Himself ever sinned? No we are not if we are honestly seeking the truth of God, and his personality objectively.

1 John 3:6 Whoever remains in him doesn't sin. Whoever sins hasn't seen him, neither knows him.

1 John 3:4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.

1 John 5:18 We know that whoever is born of God doesn't sin, but he who was born of God keeps himself, and the evil one doesn't touch him.

Is God's Mind Evil?

First, 1.) God does not sin, or can he sin. Secondly, 2.) all sin is evil to God, and he is not a part of any sin.

Subsequently, we have establish what God's is by truth, not from mankind's mind found in sin which is evil to God.

Isa.40:13 Who has directed the Spirit of Yahweh, or has taught him as his counselor? 40:14 Who did he take counsel with, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of justice, and taught him knowledge, and showed him the way of understanding?

Rom.3:10 As it is written, "There is no one righteous; no, not one.
3:11 There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God. 3:12 They have all turned aside. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, no, not, so much as one."{Psalms 14:1-3; 53:1-3; Ecclesiastes 7:20}

What Evil Did God's Spirit Son's Know?

For us answer these questions honestly without prejudice, that is, justly without partiality, for, or against, we must look at context of Adam and Eve's fall into sin, and death.

Eve listen to Satan, not Adam whom was created as her headship, meaning? Her headship is where her direction should come from. This truth is found throughout the scriptures, such headship has become evil (Sin) in modern times particularly in materialistic societies, but it is a foundational truth of God own creation, that is, the headship arrangement.

Genesis 2:23 The man said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."

Mark,10:6 But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female.{Genesis 1:27}
10:7 For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will join to his wife, 10:8 and the two will become one flesh,{Genesis 2:24} so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.
10:9 What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."

Nevertheless, to listen to Satan was a sin for Eve, than to compound matters she believe his lie; that she was a god who like God could chose good and bad for her own eternal salvation making her “like” God, which lie was evil (Sin).

Gen.3:2 The woman said to the serpent, "Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat, 3:3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'" 3:4 The serpent said to the woman, "You won't surely die, 3:5 for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

Did you note that the first sin was not a gross sin like adultery, murder, and/ or the host of other sins which are criminal acts under any civilized society? But a simple lie! Yes, a simple misrepresentation of the truth, exchanging the truth for belief in a lie, against God!

1 John 2:21 I have not written to you because you don't know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.

James 3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth.

Hebrews 6:18 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.

Did the spirits son's of God already know this lie? Did God know this lie? Was that lie evil (Sin), and so was God truthful in stating He Himself and the son's of God, spirit son's, knew good and evil before Adam and Eve sinned? Yes, they did!

They knew good and evil of independence from “God's authority” which (evil) is sin, and is wicked, not good! Now the question is, is that the kind of evil you were thinking of when thinking God and the angels of God knew good and evil? Which evil was the truth that we cannot be independent of God, and live eternally, or were you like so many of us who thinks evil means all evil done through sin? Do we teach this evil was in God's own mind, all manner of corruption were seeds in God's mind were being held back from growth to protect Adam and Eve from overflowing attack of evils now being done in our world?

Job 4:17 'Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than his Maker?

Proverbs 15:26 Yahweh detests the thoughts of the wicked, but the thoughts of the pure are pleasing.

Proverbs 20:9 Who can say, "I have made my heart pure. I am clean and without sin?"

Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

Isa.6:3 One called to another, and said, "Holy, holy, holy, is Yahweh of Armies! The whole earth is full of his glory!" 6:4 The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. 6:5 Then I said, "Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of Armies!" 6:6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar. 6:7 He touched my mouth with it, and said, "Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin forgiven."

God Creates Son's of God, How?

When God creates a son of God, lets define what a son of God is? A son's of God is one without sin (evil). If a man never sinned, like the Son of God, Christ Jesus, he or she would be a son of God. Adam for a moment before sinning was created without sin, and he was a son of God. There were no other son's of God after Adam born after Adam sinned, of course, except for Christ Jesus the sinless lamb of God.

Luke. 3:36 the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, 3:37 the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalaleel, the son of Cainan, 3:38 the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.

Luke.3:21 Now it happened, when all the people were baptized, Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying. The sky was opened,
3:22 and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form as a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying "You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased."

But why the distinction upon sin? Simple put, sin is evil, it means alienation from God whom cannot sin, or do evil by sinning. So when God brings evil upon a sinful man or nation he is bring righteous judgment by a perfect incorruptible law without sin, or the evil of sinful thoughts. He is bring justice because of peoples sinful actions against God's laws, which acts are evil and corrupting to the law of eternal life In other words, not just because those sins harm to us in this life and others, but because evil of those sin will corrupt his seed planted in the earth that will bring eternal life to the human race. God is dealing with what is required for eternal life, not in having a better life here on earth for a few short years like we human in are our thinking practice.

Jer.17:7 Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose trust Yahweh is. 17:8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it? 17:10 I, Yahweh, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.

Isaiah 40:6 The voice of one saying, "Cry!" One said, "What shall I cry?" "All flesh is like grass, and all its glory is like the flower of the field.

The law of God is not evil, people rebelling against the law are evil (sinful), the law is just and righteous. The evil God brings is not evil of sin, but the wrath that is evil to our flesh, in destroying the unrighteous sinner by his justice. We confuse this because mankind can create evil laws to control and punish their enemies, and does so out of prejuiced, but God does not, he cannot do unjustly, or like evil found in men corrupted by sin! In other words, when God brings wrath, some bible call evil, he bring destruction upon his enemies for their own action which are evil.

Deuteronomy 32:4 The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice: a God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and right is he.

Matthew 5:48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

So how does God create a free moral being with the right to chose good and evil for themselves?

Creating In Love

Love is not evil, it cannot be evil, nor does love dwell upon evil acts, or impute evil acts to others this is God's standard of love, not man's standard of love. Moreover, this is a fundamental truth of our Bibles, if we don't know this, that is, God is love, and how his love acts towards us, and why God calls Himself love, we will impute the evil of our fallen flesh into God's personality, and into others.

James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one. 1:14 But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. 1:15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death. 1:16 Don't be deceived, my beloved brothers. 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow. 1:18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures. 1:19 So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;

Love cannot protect itself in human under sin, it is not a powerful wall against the rebellion of our fallen flesh. Flesh can only protect itself by laws controlling our flesh (evils of sin) with strong measure of returning evil by the law (Laws for sin which are evil) bring wrath upon us if we disobey. That evil is incorporated into all laws created by men under sin, which sin, as discussed is evil to God. In other words, these laws legally imputes evil to all humans as wanting to sin or having the propensity to do evil acts by sin towards others. Such sins requires societies to put measure in place to protect us from the nature of human under sin ( the unrighteous).

1Tim.1:9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 1:10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;

Romans 14:22 Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who doesn't judge himself in that which he approves.

John 8:15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

Romans 8:13 For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

Romans 8:9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn't have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

When God creates moral being spirit and/or spirits of flesh, humans, he created them without sin, because God cannot sin, or create sin, sin is a rebellion against love (God's ruling authority the royal law), meaning God is love, and creates all things from love. God unlike human when He creates, he creates from the rule of love, love does not impute evil, nor does it harm others, that is, sin (evil) against other humans and/or spirit son's of God, because they have no sin if they are created by God's love.

Rom.13:8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. 13:9 For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not give false testimony," "You shall not covet,"{TR adds "You shall not give false testimony,"}{Exodus 20:13-15,17; Deuteronomy 5:17-19,21} and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."{Leviticus 19:18}
13:10 Love doesn't harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.

So the evil God knows and spirit's son in the Garden of Eden was not to rebel against God's love that is far and different than the evil of human laws that impute every unrighteous act to human nature, which society must do for societies protection. The two are as opposite as day and night, but this is the trap we can fall into by stretching human nature under sin into God knowing good and evil, by laws created for sinners and the unrighteous because of sin in them.

Col.3:2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth. 3:3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 3:4 When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory. 3:5 Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry; 3:6 for which things' sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience. 3:7 You also once walked in those, when you lived in them; 3:8 but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.
3:9 Don't lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings, 3:10 and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator.

Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the spoken word of God;

Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

1 Timothy 6:20 Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of the knowledge which is falsely so called;

The Choice of Evil, or God

Let none of us fall into the trap, the lie, of thinking because God created in love giving Adam and Eve a choice, and his spirit son whom could chose to love him or rebel against God, is the evil like the human mind under sin is found in, its corruption making them equal to the just and holy law of God. That is, believing God's knows in his own mind and heart all the wickedness in the universe that would come from such an actions of rebellion by man and angles. Lets not make God into a movie mobster whom knows all the evil of his people being himself all powerful because of such control through surveillance on the streets by other evil mobsters.

1Cor.13:4 Love is never tired of waiting; love is kind; love has no envy; love has no high opinion of itself, love has no pride; 13:5 Love's ways are ever fair, it takes no thought for itself; it is not quickly made angry, it takes no account of evil;
13:6 It takes no pleasure in wrongdoing, but has joy in what is true; 13:7 Love has the power of undergoing all things, having faith in all things, hoping all things.

The mere act of choosing independence away from love can and is nothing but evil, because their is no life outside of love (eternal life). Creation of man on earth is not experimental if the creator is love, any action outside of love would cause those created in love evil. Now Adam knew for a fact that evil of sin is not God's love, or would it help them or do good for themselves. (Eve was decieved) Something the spirit son's of God already knew because Satan own actions.

1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love: true love has no room for fear, because where fear is, there is pain; and he who is not free from fear is not complete in love.

Satan did not formant his actions at the moment of talking to Eve, he had already entertain rebellion, and was in rebellion before ever speaking with Eve in the Garden. Thus, rebellion and its evil existed in the spirit realm, but not in the newly created creation of man. Satan rebellion lead him into wanting worship and control of humans on earth. How many spirit sons went along with Satan, we don't know? How long did this evil formant against God before Satan lied to Eve we don't know?

Love Reacts

Does an incorruptible God of love react to sin with fear? Does love fail? In other words, if God is love, and love cannot fail there can be no fear. Fear comes when our flesh is not certain about the outcome of something we have done or will do? Can God be corrupted by sin, if not, does he dwell upon every possible action or reaction sin will cause in the human race, or is that our own sinful flesh imputing such thinking too God?

1 John 4:17 In this way love is made complete in us, so that we may be without fear on the day of judging, because as he is, so are we in this world.

1 John 3:10 In this way it is clear who are the children of God and who are the children of the Evil One; anyone who does not do righteousness or who has no love for his brother, is not a child of God.

James 2:8 But if you keep the greatest law of all, as it is given in the holy Writings, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself, you do well:

If someone loves us, and than they sin against us, does that mean we will impute evil to ourselves because we loved the person? Will we become evil in our motives and thinking because they chose to do us evil we must know all evil? God has chosen to forgive us our sin, our evils we do against him daily. If we think evil of God than he is not love to us, he is our enemy, and looking to impute evil too us like human do when we our hurt by others.

James 1:12 There is a blessing on the man who undergoes testing; because, if he has God's approval, he will be given the crown of life, which the Lord has said he will give to those who have love for him.

2 Timothy 1:7 For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of self-control.

Where does mankind's lust come from, where does evil exist in mankind, in love, or in the lust of their flesh? If we read our bibles it is very clear on this subject it is in our flesh. Does God have flesh and its desire that lust against his Spirit finding Himself in a war with evil in his mind and flesh? No! He does not, he is not a man, nor are his thoughts man's thoughts. Those trying to make God into a more human like form with feelings like ours, will be sadly disappointed. God does not entertain himself with fears of our flesh, or judgments to come of our flesh, nor does he lust for sex, or the power of controlling peoples lives so he can protect himself or make a showing to look good to mankind at all!

Romans 2:8 But to those who, from a love of competition, are not guided by what is true, will come the heat of his wrath.

John 17:26 And I have given to them knowledge of your name, and will give it, so that the love which you have for me may be in them and I in them.

Luke 6:32 If you have love for those who have love for you, what credit is it to you? for even sinners have love for those who have love for them.

When God reacts to any rebellion he does so out of love, he does not change and becoming evil, and return evil for evil because he knows evil like human know evil. When nothing else can be done for us, God bring our own judgment we have chosen upon us justly and not wickedly paying back something for satisfaction of getting even.

Revelation 22:15 Outside are the dogs, and those who make use of evil powers, those who make themselves unclean, and the takers of life, and those who give worship to images, and everyone whose delight is in what is false.
1 Peter 3:10 For it is said, Let the man who has a love of life, desiring to see good days, keep his tongue from evil and his lips from words of deceit:

1 Peter 3:9 Not giving back evil for evil, or curse for curse, but in place of cursing, blessing; because this is the purpose of God for you that you may have a heritage of blessing.

In other words, love cannot act wickedly, or think wickedly, or do evil, it must do good. When evil becomes so evil it cannot be helped with love God act justly for those loving him. God knows as our creator that life cannot exist outside of his love, him being love. Anything outside his love is evil ending is death. This is not a experiment. He is rather saving those whom love him by allowing wickedness of sin in the human race until his appointed time to deal with it.

Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were gone; and there was no more sea.

Revelation 21:2 And I saw the holy town, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, like a bride made beautiful for her husband.

Revelation 21:5 And he who is seated on the high seat said, See, I make all things new. And he said, Put it in the book; for these words are certain and true.

Let us remember God is dealing with our spirit, not our flesh, we as human deal with flesh on earth and its judgments. We cannot judge the spirit that is the eternal life of a person that judgment can only be dealt with by his perfect rule of love, something we human are hardly qualified to handle living in corruption away from perfect love. God's judgment are love, and must benefit all creation when he makes them. God is not evil because he created us with a choice to chose good and evil. It is the choice that can be evil not the God giving us love in making a choice to love him or not?

2 Peter 3:14 For this reason, my loved ones, as you are looking for these things, take great care that when he comes you may be in peace before him, free from sin and every evil thing.

2 Peter 1:4 And through this he has given us the hope of great rewards highly to be valued; so that by them we might have our part in God's being, and be made free from the destruction which is in the world through the desires of the flesh.

2 Peter 2:18 For with high-sounding false words, making use of the attraction of unclean desires of the flesh, they get into their power those newly made free from those who are living in error;

Because God knows all things, does not mean he knows every evil thing sin does in the hearts of men. Thus making him evil, but choosing not to be like humans corrupted by sin. God cannot do evil It not a choice it is an incorruptible truth that He cannot sin, or entertain the thoughts of sin (evil).

1 Peter 1:18 Being conscious that you have been made free from that foolish way of life which was your heritage from your fathers, not through a payment of things like silver or gold which come to destruction,

God knows as our creator anything outside of himself, love, not created by love, but created independently of God, love, humans, or spirits sons, is evil, and will cause death. God is not naive, he does not have to be innocent like human acting righteously. God is pure in thought, and by his thoughts which are life eternal are the gifts he gives us freely. He is not naive or foolish, only to the wicked imputing evil to God. God is not lacking in anything we human need, he is not working for a better position, a better personality, or to be accounted fair and just. He is perfect without flaw, not one thing is lacking in him, making him our creator perfect in all his activities.

Psalms 16:2 O my soul, you have said to the Lord, You are my Lord: I have no good but you.

Psalms 18:30 As for God, his way is completely good; the word of the Lord is tested; he is a breastplate for all those who put their faith in him.

Psalms 23:1 (A Psalm. Of David.) The Lord takes care of me as his sheep; I will not be without any good thing.

Perfection of Prettiness

The very creation testifies to God's purity and beauty of mind motives and thoughts, the human bodies form, and what must God's spirit son's look like? The creation beautifully testifies to a God of love, but whom does imputed evil to God? Was it not a beautiful spirit son of God a creation of beauty and power himself? Was it not Eve a perfectly formed human with a beautiful handsome husband united in love in a perfect place upon earth where wants and needs did not exist or evil thoughts of sin, the garden paradise of Eden?

Genesis 1:4 And God, looking on the light, saw that it was good: and God made a division between the light and the dark,

Genesis 1:10 And God gave the dry land the name of Earth; and the waters together in their place were named Seas: and God saw that it was good.

Genesis 1:12 And grass came up on the earth, and every plant producing seed of its sort, and every tree producing fruit, in which is its seed, of its sort: and God saw that it was good.

Genesis 1:18 To have rule over the day and the night, and for a division between the light and the dark: and God saw that it was good.

Genesis 1:21 And God made great sea-beasts, and every sort of living and moving thing with which the waters were full, and every sort of winged bird: and God saw that it was good.

Genesis 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after its sort, and the cattle after their sort, and everything moving on the face of the earth after its sort: and God saw that it was good.

Genesis 1:31 And God saw everything which he had made and it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

Let us not be fooled here, God is not evil, ever perfect gift comes down from the Father of lights, is there a middle ground that God is hiding from us? Where light turns to shades of gray? Where evil lurks that he does not want us to know; existing in his own mind, it that the God of love you serve and trust?

Matthew 5:8 Happy are the clean in heart: for they will see God.

Matthew 13:19 When the word of the kingdom comes to anyone, and the sense of it is not clear to him, then the Evil One comes, and quickly takes away that which was put in his heart. He is the seed dropped by the wayside.

Matthew 18:3 And said, Truly, I say to you, If you do not have a change of heart and become like little children, you will not go into the kingdom of heaven.

Conversely, is God's thoughts and motives perfect in love, with no evil towards his children, is God actually incorruptible in his thoughts, or does he have both light and darkness of sin indwelling him? These questions are the very question Eve dealt with and decieved by, and Satan used to lie about God our Father YHWH. They are paramount to our putting faith into God, and his promises.

1 John 1:5 This is the word which came to us from him and which we give to you, that God is light and in him there is nothing dark.

In other words, if God is changing in his love for us, from light into darkness based upon corrupted thoughts of imputing evil too us, than we cannot trust him. On the others hand, if God is bring us out of evil of sin, into eternal life, freed from corruption of imputing evil, but instead imputing love by His own love, we have a marvelous hope in his love which cannot fail.

2 Peter 1:19 And so the words of the prophets are made more certain; and it is well for you to give attention to them as to a light shining in a dark place, till the dawn comes and the morning star is seen in your hearts;

1 Peter 2:9 But you are a special people, a holy nation, priests and kings, a people given up completely to God, so that you may make clear the virtues of him who took you out of the dark into the light of heaven.

1 John 1:7 But if we are walking in the light, as he is in the light, we are all united with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son makes us clean from all sin.

All mankind's ways are failing they have since rebellion causing sin into corruption entered into the human race. Nothing mankind has attempted since sin and corruption entered into the world has changed the very core of mankind thinking, motives, and actions. We can say without doubt they are not the ways of life.

John 1:17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and the true way of life are ours through Jesus Christ.

John 3:16 For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life.

Our ways are not God's ways, we must be made new, we must be recreated to think in love, we must as Christian understand the power of love from the God of love. Although, such seems weak and foolish in a world hostile to the purity of love, our eternal lives exist because of God's love.

1Cor.4:5 For this reason let there be no judging before the time, till the Lord comes, who will make clear the secret things of the dark, and the designs of the heart; and then will every man have his praise from God.

1Cor.2:4 And in my preaching there were no honeyed words of wisdom, but I was dependent on the power of the Spirit to make it clear to you: 2:5 So that your faith might be based not on man's wisdom but on the power of God. 2:6 But still we have wisdom for those who are complete in knowledge, though not the wisdom of this world, and not of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing: 2:7 But we give the news of the secret wisdom of God, which he had kept in store before the world came into existence, for our glory;

If God's love has not been reveal to us,than we are dead to Christ mind and heart, if we remain in the judgments and thoughts of sin, accusing and judging each others, although, we speak the truth of our fallen condition we cannot come up to love. Our mind must focus on what Eve and Satan failed to do, and what is that? Our not imputing evil to God. Yes, to says God is evil in his thoughts, and turn, and say he knows all evil ever to exist or all evil to come, is not good, or is it just, or is it what God is, love.

Gen.18:20 And the Lord said, Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is very great, and their sin is very evil,
18:21 I will go down now, and see if their acts are as bad as they seem from the outcry which has come to me; and if they are not, I will see.
18:22 And the men, turning from that place, went on to Sodom: but Abraham was still waiting before the Lord.
18:23 And Abraham came near, and said, Will you let destruction come on the upright with the sinners?
18:24 If by chance there are fifty upright men in the town, will you give the place to destruction and not have mercy on it because of the fifty upright men?
18:25 Let such a thing be far from you, to put the upright to death with the sinner: will not the judge of all the earth do right?
18:26 And the Lord said, If there are fifty upright men in the town, I will have mercy on it because of them.
18:27 And Abraham answering said, Truly, I who am only dust, have undertaken to put my thoughts before the Lord:
18:28 If by chance there are five less than fifty upright men, will you give up all the town to destruction because of these five? And he said, I will not give it to destruction if there are forty-five.
18:29 And again he said to him, By chance there may be forty there. And he said, I will not do it if there are forty.
18:30 And he said, Let not the Lord be angry with me if I say, What if there are thirty there? And he said, I will not do it if there are thirty.
18:31 And he said, See now, I have undertaken to put my thoughts before the Lord: what if there are twenty there? And he said, I will have mercy because of the twenty.
18:32 And he said, O let not the Lord be angry and I will say only one word more: by chance there may be ten there. And he said, I will have mercy because of the ten.
18:33 And the Lord went on his way when his talk with Abraham was ended, and Abraham went back to his place.

Evil empowers men in the flesh, for protection against their enemies, do you think God gains control over us by such unrighteous uses of evil thoughts? No! God sets us free from evil by his love, his own pure chase and holy thoughts of good towards us. We must touch, taste, and see that God is good, we must commune with the source of purity of thought, mind, and soul, to live. We must learn not to live by bread alone, but every utterance coming from God's mouth found in his Son Christ Jesus.

Matthew 5:13 You are the salt of the earth; but if its taste goes from the salt, how will you make it salt again? it is then good for nothing but to be put out and crushed under foot by men.

Psalms 119:103 How sweet are your sayings to my taste! truly, they are sweeter than honey in my mouth!

1 Peter 2:3 If you have had a taste of the grace of the Lord:

Luke 2:10 And the angel said, Have no fear; for truly, I give you good news of great joy which will be for all the people:

What a pleasant and wonderful surprise!

Thank you for your kind words, I would ask you pray that God continues to uses me to encourage others, as you have often done for my own faith.

Our Father thoughts are higher than all the mountains raised up from Satan rebellion the more we consider how different light thinking is from darkness of sins, and corruption the greater our peace becomes, like a river getting deeper and deeper, wider and wider until it brings life to the dead sea of mankind.

Your Brother,

Daniel
