Is the knowledge of good and evil, good or evil?

Hmm. ... Just a moment ago I spoke with my wife about the little bird, which was fallen out of his nest some days ago. We saw now in a film, what professionals are doing in such cases, so we are convinced, it was the best to do nothing - what we did do after a longer discussion. It existed a good chance the parents were able to save their baby. Or a cat got a breakfast. Now we don't know, and never will know, what had happened. But we hope it was the best.

And how are you? Did you fight successfully today in the morning with your breakfast, so you are more evolved now?
Like I said before, all things work for good. You may not know how. You may never know how. But you should have faith that it does. Or not. Your call. It's a choice.

Only time will tell if I am more evolved today than I was yesterday. But I don't measure my progress on a daily basis. Because then I would have to ask myself why I didn't measure my progress on an hourly basis or a minute basis or a second basis. No. Progress is best measure through events. We are all being tested. Some understand this and ask themselves what it was they were supposed to learn from their struggles; their challenges; their obstacles. Some don't and have to repeat the lesson until they do. But I have faith that everything turns out the way it was supposed to turn out and that good comes from it. Others don't and go through life unhappy. It's a choice.
 
I have biases towards me? Sure - sometimes I call me an idiot - and unfortunatelly I'm not always wrong to do so. That's not nice - but I forgive me.
Most people do forgive themselves and the people they like. The true measure of success is forgiving people you don't like.

A German proverb from the historical year 2007 says: "Smile - you are not able to kill them all". But let me seriosly say: Today Jesus had big problems with the people to say sentences like “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” Fortunatelly Jesus spoke as a Jew with Jews and not as a Christian with [US-American] Christians - otherwise the bible would tell much more strange stories, which need a good knowledge to understand them in the right way.

God is not only god for optimists.

Your call. It's a choice.

No. I believe for example we live in the best of all possible worlds. Leibniz said so - and the longer I thought about this crazy idea the more I found out he is astonishingly right. But within this best of all possible worlds everything is also able to go totally wrong on no special reason - otherwise it would not be the best of all possible worlds.

Only time will tell if I am more evolved today than I was yesterday.

Good grief ... It was a joke to say so. ...

No. Progress is best measure through events. We are all being tested. Some understand this and ask themselves what it was they were supposed to learn from their struggles; their challenges; their obstacles.

I made something wrong in my life - and my life became a disaster and I had to change everything - then I made the same thing in the same way wrong again - and it became a much more wonderful life, with the help of god.

Some don't and have to repeat the lesson until they do.

God gives life - not lessons. I'm sure we know what god makes sad and what makes him smile. Everyone of us.

But I have faith that everything turns out the way it was supposed to turn out and that good comes from it. Others don't and go through life unhappy. It's a choice.

The author of the apocalypse was boiled in oil from the Romans. He survived with the help of god. Don't try to tell me now that was good for him and everyone has to be unhappy, who is not able to pay the same price.

He does? Or we do?

Everything will work itself out. There is a law of compensation at work.

Like I said before, all things work for good.

You don't have perfect knowledge. God does.

You may not know how. You may never know how. But you should have faith that it does. Or not.

God is not only god for optimists.
True. In fact, some might say he saves his best work for pessimists.

Your call. It's a choice.

No. I believe for example we live in the best of all possible worlds. Leibniz said so - and the longer I thought about this crazy idea the more I found out he is astonishingly right. But within this best of all possible worlds everything is also able to go totally wrong on no special reason - otherwise it would not be the best of all possible worlds.
Then you are saying the same thing as I am. Everything works for good. Wouldn't it be boring to live life with no challenges?

Only time will tell if I am more evolved today than I was yesterday.

You have an odd sense of humor.

But I don't measure my progress on a daily basis. Because then I would have to ask myself why I didn't measure my progress on an hourly basis or a minute basis or a second basis. No. Progress is best measure through events. We are all being tested.

I made something wrong in my life - and my life became a disaster and I had to change everything - then I made the same thing in the same way wrong again - and it became a much more wonderful life, with the help of god.
So you are still saying the same thing as I am. Everything works for good.

Some don't and have to repeat the lesson until they do.

God gives life - not lessons. I'm sure we know what god makes sad and what makes him smile. Everyone of us.
You are splitting hairs. Life is full of lessons. We are all being tested and we are all being pruned.

But I have faith that everything turns out the way it was supposed to turn out and that good comes from it. Others don't and go through life unhappy. It's a choice.

The author of the apocalypse was boiled in oil from the Romans. He survived with the help of god. Don't try to tell me now that was good for him and everyone has to be unhappy, who is not able to pay the same price.
Again, you don't have perfect knowledge, God does. Ask God what good came from this.

Is the knowledge of good and evil, good or evil?

For you, me, and Adam to answer this question; we need the knowledge of good and evil.

Adam may have needed what he was denied by Yahweh to know if the tree of the knowledge of all things, is good or evil to eat from. As scriptures say, he was mentally and morally blind without it.

You and I cannot see any better than Adam could when our mental eyes are blind on issues and without knowledge of them.

It seems that Yahweh put Adam in a catch 22. Damned to being mentally blind and as bright as a brick and unable to reproduce or condemned to death if he educated himself.

Neither good nor evil exists outside of the mind of man

The law of compensation is always at work. His ways are not our ways which is why you say or not.

Good exists. Evil doesn’t.

Do hot and cold exist outside the mind of man?

Good grief ... It was a joke to say so.
You have an odd sense of humor.

Maybe. English people say often Germans have no humor at all. That's an odd sense of humor from my point of view. Nevertheless very amusing.

But I don't measure my progress on a daily basis. Because then I would have to ask myself why I didn't measure my progress on an hourly basis or a minute basis or a second basis. No. Progress is best measure through events. We are all being tested.
No.

Wisdom needs not to learn. Wisdom is what it is. Problems have from time to time be solved, that's all.

So you are still saying the same thing as I am. Everything works for good.
No. Most people in my situations of life would be just simple dead now. This makes nothing and no one right or wrong or good or bad. It is just simple what it is. God asked me to come back and voila: here I am. And if I make something wrong then I will go to hell. There is no try nor any lesson.
Some don't and have to repeat the lesson until they do.
Life is no lesson. Life is life.

No. I never ask god something about others. He gives no answers in such a case.

And did you ever think about that you have much to much fatalistic rules for god and other human beings?

They are a very serious people. Maybe too serious. God loves laughter. He created it.

Wisdom needs not to learn. Wisdom is what it is. Problems have from time to time be solved, that's all.
Wisdom, like truth, is discovered.

We learn something from everything. Even when you get it wrong. Everything is a lesson. Everything is a test.
Some don't and have to repeat the lesson until they do.
Life is no lesson. Life is life.
Life is a gift. Every experience is a lesson and a test.
God gives life - not lessons. I'm sure we know what god makes sad and what makes him smile. Everyone of us.

Did I? Not really. But I love life and I love God.
But I have faith that everything turns out the way it was supposed to turn out and that good comes from it. Others don't and go through life unhappy. It's a choice.
Everyone is unhappy who is not like you?
That's quite a leap in logic you are making.
The author of the apocalypse was boiled in oil from the Romans. He survived with the help of god. Don't try to tell me now that was good for him and everyone has to be unhappy, who is not able to pay the same price.
Again, you don't have perfect knowledge, God does. Ask God what good came from this.

No. I never ask god something about others. He gives no answers in such a case.
That's your call but how do you know until you ask?

And did you ever think about that you have much to much fatalistic rules for god and other human beings?
I see it the other way around. You believe God created evil. I don't.

There is no physical quantification of good or evil.

When there is a thermometer that can measure the evil in the air let me know.

Yes and they can be quantified

When you can measure "evil" let me know.

WHat would one unit of evil be called do you think?

Maybe we should call it a Satan or a Lucifer.

So tell me how many Lucifers must be present in the air for a murder to be committed?
