A 'theory' that all, bad, evil and hate is the 'devil' is at least based on a true story.
That is not a true story. All
bad, evil and hate stems from the minds of sentient beings who can determine what events, happenings, or doings are least desirable and most desirable to their well being.That is the true story.
ok, you say 'stems from the mind' (of humans) right? now watch this:
"For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander." (Matthew 15:19)
so is NOT the above verse true?
In the Bible, 'heart' = spirit
They don't use the word 'spirit' in Science, they use 'mind' and 'consciousness'.
all refer to the same thing tho.
but where u say 'beings who can determine what events, happenings, or doing are least desirable and most desirable to their well being' the Bible says men can't do that. but are you going to tell me the following verses are NOT true:
"I know, O LORD, that a man’s way is not in himself, Nor is it in a man who walks to direct his steps." Jeremiah 10:23
"A man's heart deviseth his way; But the LORD directeth his steps." (Proverbs 16:9)
"Every man's way is right in his own eyes, But the LORD weighs the hearts." (Proverbs 21:2)
And if rejecting the above truth that men don't have the ability to determine on their own what path is best, then what do you have on Jesus words? Everyone knows Jesus drew some pretty hard lines concerning what path to take in terms of good and evil. But of course you might say Jesus words are false. How do we rationalize this?
And don't say all religion are 'truths' because this is self-ethering by nature and would mean that no truth exists. which is probably one of the single most deadliest of lies a man can eat.
