Good vs. Evil: A Divisional Duality-Not Oneness and Not Equality Kelly Durant
Luke 16:25-27 King James Version (KJV)
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
2. What is one of the most convincing arguments in favor of Christianity over other religions? It is that the final chapter ends with the good, pure and righteous as victors with Jesus and his saints defeating the old serpent, the deceiver, the destroyer, the ‘fake” light bearer, Lucifer!
For the longest time in movies, in books, and for all outcomes we had the hope that good would conquer evil, and it will but you have to do your part in fighting the good fight to make it happen. That is the prophecy and destiny of our good God, to contain evil in the near future so heaven and its good souls can exist absence and devoid of evil creatures seeking its chaos and destruction. However, for good to win we must fight! And then the final battle of Armageddon!
Today more than ever we must examine the good vs. evil paradigm fight as the modern culture has shifted many things and made good things evil and evil things good. People are getting their minds confused to the point of allowing someone’s infused emotions to override their common sense. Our God-given conscious will tell you what is authentically right and wrong, if you listen. Our guide is the Bible and the Holy Spirit to know what pleases God and what does not. Cultures shift and practice abominable things, and God’s prophets must warn them.
3. Today I will offer you a 3 point message: It is about “oneness”, “dualism”, and “triunity”, or a 1, 2 & 3. How you perceive the world according to your understanding of God influences everything! Sadly our previously Christian educated society use to be aware of the basics of God and how God is the good God of love who gave His only Son for our redemption and once clean from sin we stop doing evil. But today new age ideas, atheism, or false sciences, and “fake news”, along with compromised churches have brought people to the point that their understanding of God’s principles is darkened. We are in the time of apostacy.
Remember, what I share on a Sunday morning is not enough for you to learn by. Every day I pray you are praying for God to guide your day, that you are reading and learning from His Word, that you are getting victories over your stubborn nature and becoming purer and more Holy. After all, you do not answer to anyone but God for all of what you do and what you do is governed by how your think, and that is governed by your heart, whether it is carnal or spiritual. Sadly, too many Christians are too carnal, not discerning right and wrong or fact from man’s invented fiction presented as factual.
The Bible is the most comprehensive spiritual guidebook there is which includes the mistakes of the people, so we see how God reacts to many of life’s situations; some get mercy (if they loved Him) while others get judgment and punishment, and we must adjust our minds to know what is good or evil by these examples. 3 helpful things: study of the Bible, prayer, and fellowship.
4. Let’s start with the push of the idea of “oneness”, that any and all things can be united, a type of pantheistic monism. I was deceived at one time to believe this (in the Yoga meditation vein), that I could become ‘one’ with God by just focusing my mind, my single eye (3rdeye) on the singularity of God as light. My mind never became fully trancelike to be ‘one’ focused, even though I could sit in the Lotus Position for well over an hour daily. The results? I was left to presume the great yogis had achieved this ‘oneness’ I never got. In this body with my (or your) God given individualistic mind & soul, a complete ‘oneness’ is an illusion. With more investigation (in college then), I soon discovered that the Hindus worship a pantheon of gods! 33 Million is the last estimate! https://www.huffingtonpost.com/gadadhara-pandit-dasa/the-33-million-demigods-o_b_1737207.html
The idea of ‘all is one, and one is all’ is derived from the ancient Satanic serpentine influences. It is a double play because Satan actually wants Himself and many gods worshipped so you accept them all under an umbrella type of a pantheon oneness. Ancient cultures (tragically even the Hebrews at times) worshipped this way, often with Baal as god (presumed to be one god), but Baal was the son of El, the chief god, and Asherah, the goddess of the sea. Satan has always been trying to get people to recognize all the different fallen angels as gods, and some of these were divine beings, by a Genesis 6 conclusive study, some were half god and half human entities, that is angelic becoming demonic by rebellion mixing with humankind. But they have no power as Jesus does!
Every culture throughout time has had their take on all the different gods, some carried severe punishments for a lack of worship while others enticed worship for personal prosperity; for example, Baal for fertility, Cupid for love relationships, etc, but again all of these are either demons, fallen angels, or even mythical inventions. Often these were represented in deaf, dumb, and blind stone or metal idols and to think all of them are the same to worship putting them into one box because they all originate from a ‘one’ god is to be willingly ignorant. Satan and his demons want to destroy people and God’s creations by legitimatizing evil and evil entities pretending to be angels of light and wisdom.
5. Those with the ‘oneness’ idea, that all religions will one day “coexist’, as the bumper stickers show, are not facing the reality that some religions such as Christianity are of love and peace, while others are of hate, dominion, and war. The globalist idea that many have bought into thinking we can unite all the world’s religions, countries, and cultures into ‘one’ is a great deception. This is why many progressive voices speak out that they want countries with open borders (which no country actually practices), a one world, government (yet democracies and dictatorships never mix), and a world currency (which would favor some and ruin others).
It is God who makes borders. Psalm 74:17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter. There must be a border between good and evil! It was God who chose a special people, the Jews, for a season in the past, and now He chooses by our own freewill ‘whosesoever will’, the ones who will obey Jesus. God knows within the rebellion of man, so many with their pride believing he or she is a god, that He can never unite all in spirit into the one. In heaven there will be a oneness in the worship of God, a oneness in the sense that each angel entity and resurrected transformed human there will be alike in pureness, and a oneness within the eternal continuous connection with God.
What is communicated in the Holy Scriptures is that God loved all and wanted a oneness with all his created beings, with the angels, with humans, with nature and the universe and all would have been fine had it not been for the rebellion of the fallen angels (1/3), one of whom wanted to bring death to the man and woman God created. Eden was an eternal paradise until the serpent fallen angel spread knowledge which resulted in the death of the first humans. God is in the business of restoring that paradise lost for the faithful, but it is through Jesus and the shedding away of this mortal body to get there to where He is.
6. The mindset that there must exist a duality of good and evil, or the lie that somehow God is half evil and half good and that people must appreciate both equally is very confusing and a destructive idea which some false religions embrace! Many ancient and modern cults teach that God must be the author of both so if you are being good, or being bad, it doesn’t matter because God has those both natures. What a lie! It is in the absence of God where darkness and evil, the opposite of God, exists.
God is righteously good, just, merciful, forgiving, and loving, consequently this can be witnessed in Jesus, along with the perfection of his design of the universe and nature. True that many random and destructive things happen within the creation, but those are man’s or demons faults, and we reap the consequences of this broken world. The flood was God’s plan B to keep a pure breed of humans alive, and the earth became imbalanced ever since and we have inherited the sins of the past like it or not.
It is disturbing to see a rise in so many modern day people that ‘feel’ a passion to defend positions that contradict God’s commands seeking chaos to overturn the good. If there is order and peace in any institution or society which abide by following God’s universal laws, these demon possessed creatures think it is their job to counter it and bring on chaos with loud protests to overthrow the systems. No system is perfect but semi-perfect is better than the anarchy and evil these ones desire and their violence is telling of their sick hearts. It is a power grab scheme, they create the disorder and discontentment (a fake dichotomy they claim everyone wants) and then out of the unbearable chaos, they set up their idiotic laws to justify their sins and debauchery. Around the globe we observe that, after having their way, they become as parasites, sucking the life blood out of each other for gain. But evil people always hate other evil people (it reminds them of themselves!) so they start recruiting new innocent young hosts to prey upon and convince them to embrace their perverse plights for an elusive justice and personal gain. Demons recruit by intimidation, enchantment, and deceit and then enslave you! God’s people must defend the Bible and the truth of God or these demonic characters will continue to have full reign as weeds choking out all the good from good wheat.
7. We see the success in rival ‘duality’ dichotomies in every area of our modern day lives! What a successful scheme it has been by Satan to get us to ‘divide and conquer’ destroying ourselves. Creationism was the dominate truth until Darwinism was introduced. A free democratic society was the aspired ideal government (in recent years) until Communism was introduced. Moral values of respect were honored until we were told that God is an invention of stupid people who invented Him and we must free ourselves from Him to ‘do as we please’. Abel worshipped God out of love and Cain killed him out of hate! Cain’s decedents became murderers and pagan worshippers and his false religions are still with us. The absence of good is what evil is, and evil is destruction, not creation. It’s all God’s love, or it’s a nothing but a vacuum of death.
More than ever people have been brainwashed to believe that the ‘professionals’ at the universities and the politicians in the government have all the answers and we as the stupid subjects should just summit to their chaotic experiments upon us. To obtain a balance of powers (equality duality), they are trying to bankrupt the system, destroy wholesome values, pervert the righteous, and actually get this country, and any country, out of the way of the resistance to the ‘one world government’ they want to set up for Satan to control. That day of ‘submit or die’ will come but woe to those who support it! The lake of fire is reserved for Satan and his demon subjects who did his will. These evil people hate you and me so much they dream of seeing the world fall into confusion so 90% of us will die from wars, hunger, and pestilence (man-made diseases). The Georgia guide-stones reveal this dream! They want an exclusive world for themselves as elitists with all their man-made technology (their gods) as seen in many recent movies getting rid of us, the useless eaters so earth survives. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjpGZN742Lc
So despite the idea that evil should be equal to God, as in the yin and yang image, there is no equality or balance of power needed with evil along side good with the falsehood that they are the same and needed. God is totally good, but if some of his creatures rebel into darkness, they are at a great disadvantage, as they are not gods as they presume, but just single beings who have condemned their selves for the future judgment of God that will come from His white throne.
8. Now we come to the triune relationship that I propose this is how God interacts with us. It’s in threes. For example Jesus says to be one with the Father, we must go through Him, so that is you, Jesus, then God, or three. John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
When I first met my wife, I asked her if she was willing to do what I do, to preach the gospel, because it means living a life of Jesus, Others, and You, which is the way to have JOY! Even my relationship with her has Jesus in the middle as the glue to keep us together so we are 3, not just 2, but God even says we are one flesh after uniting (interesting, right?)
God does everything by threes, such as in His revealing of Himself in the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost. Here is a another third state of ourselves in relationship with God, if we are born once (in the flesh only), we die twice, in the flesh, then in the spirit. But if we are born twice, once by the flesh, and once by the spirit, then you only die once in the flesh, because you will live eternally afterwards! Nature is in threes, proton, neutron, and electrons. Ecclesiastes 4:12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
9. So here is the situation, evil has mixed with the good and God is separating it out by us bringing the gospel of truth to the world. It is not just that the world is moving from an order or thesis, with an antithesis counter, to get a synthesis (but however Satan does keeps repeating this divide and conquer strategy in every church, government, and institution), we are already in the synthesis of a fallen world with evil mixed up in the confusion of what’s good and evil. God is going to separate out the good from the evil with Jesus return. There will be with Jesus return a reaping and then a judgment, or separation of the goats from the sheep and the wheat from the tares. Thank God we will be free from evil at last in that day!
From the verses of Luke today we learn that the spirit world has 3 components. Recall how the evil man could not leave his place of torment (hell) to warn others or get a drop of water due to the great gulf? This implies that there is heaven and hell with a barrier in between them, or three states. It’s God’s design to contain evil characters so the evil rebellious ones never come back into heaven, or into any of God’s worlds such as ours, to destroy and corrupt again. Satan and his demons have been loose since the beginning going everywhere. Job 1:7 And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. (in it? Inside? Another day study!)
Have you ever noticed some people could never even be happy in heaven, in a perfect world? They would still want to rebel and create chaos and do the works of Satan! This is why God will allow them to remain where Satan is, it is their desire, not God’s! Hell is where the rebellious go to reap all the collective pain they caused on others by their deceptions, greedy schemes, and murders. Their spirits eternally in a burning jail is not unjust, it is very just from a just God, because they are getting payback for all the hell, death, and misery they created upon thousands. Satan’s tools of wars, drugs, perversions, witchcrafts, and slaveries will be contained and there will be peace at last! What a glorious day it will be when Jesus returns to reign forever and ever! Do you have Jesus in your life? Come over to the eternal good side! Pray now…
