The Second Lie that Adam and Eve bought into - Bible talk

The serpent that tempted Eve in the garden of Eden told Eve that she would not die if she ate from the forbidden tree. But you see there was a second lie that Eve believed beyond the belief she would not die: She believed that knowing good and evil would make Adam and Eve like God.

If you do research on violent crime you will find one unusual fact: violent criminals hate violent criminals more than non violent criminals hate violent criminals.

People think the Knowledge of good and evil will make them good so they work hard to instill their own interpretation of good and evil into their offspring but it isn’t the Knowledge of good and evil that prevents an evil person from doing evil, it’s the Knowledge of love and inspiration and service and spirituality that drives out evil.

The Inspiration of love drives out the perspiration of corruption but the knowledge of evil cannot drive out evil because it isn’t anti Darkness that drives out Darkness, it is the presence of light that drives out Darkness. Anti Darkness is simple a black hole and a bigger Darkness than the Darkness or raw space beyond earth.

The most malicious people I know are also the ones with the strongest hatred for what they believe is evil and some of them also have a incredible love for what they believe is good. The best people I know are the ones who are the least aware of evil and also the least judgmental and hateful toward it.

So Religion that drives out sin is not Religion that condemns evil but Religion that fosters Purpose and excellence and meaning and love. You cannot drive out evil by condemning it - Black Lives Matter has shown that anger is not enough to remove hatred in the people you are opposing. You have to drive out evil by disowning it and losing interest in it - to hate something is to think about it and thinking about it is the second cousin of being interested in it.
