From: utzoo!decvax!harpo!seismo!hao!csu-cs!silver Newsgroups: net.religion Title: God contains both good and evil (a proposition to ponder) Article-I.D.: csu-cs.2035 Posted: Fri Feb 18 17:53:09 1983 Received: Sun Feb 20 05:09:07 1983 Suppose that God is actually all that really exists. Therefore, He contains the whole Universe, and then some. This includes good, evil, all souls, all matter, all energy, all duality... everything. Then what's the devil spoken of in the New Testament? Suppose it is the tendency of people to turn away from God (one "o") and spiritual thoughts, towards selfishness, materialism, etc. You can read the Gospel this way and it still makes sense. Comments (to the net please)?
