Theology

Just as physics cannot say what was before the Big Bang or this current universe.
Neither will I ever be able to know or comprehend the nature of God or his plans.
I am that I am,

Everyone plays their part at the end of the day, Christ lives through all of us, whether that bothers some of us or not, his love will always be there for those that seek it. Maybe it really is that simple. At least visibly to us.

Does Christ truly live through all of us? Can this be a logically true statement.
Did he live through Gacy or Eichman?
Becaue if he lives through all of us then Gacy was doing his will, and if that was his will. Then there is nothing that can truly be called evil.

Right now, Satan is allowed to influence humans on earth, and it is a choice you make in which path to follow. Even the likes of Gacy or Eichman can receive salvation, IF THEY SEEK IT. However, they will have to answer for their sin written in the "Book of Life."
 
Food for thought: The bible speaks about stars falling from the sky. How many satellites are up there right now! 🤔

And the same can be said about Hitler, or Idi Amin, Gadaffi, Sadam or any of a long list of disgusting humans.

I’m not disagreeing, those are all dead individuals though. It’s easy to evaluate an evil monster when their.

Not so easy to do with the live one at the gas station or grocery store check out line.

Serious answer......look at the eyes.
Of course their actions also.
But pure evil is almost always seen in their eyes.

Exactly right. Unfortunately it is in the nature of many people and that is what makes then so ugly. Used to see it as a primary care physician with so many who were manipulative and acted nastily just to get their way. I learnt long ago the solution is to stare then straight in the eye and say no.

I had a neighbour who turned out to be Queenslands most notorious serial killer. You are right in that it is in the eyes, the eyes are soul chilling and tell you all there is. Got caught after he murdered a primary school girl on her way home.

They say Ted Bundy was charming and a nice guy.
 
I'm not much of a religious scholar, but if you go by the Old.Testament, Satan's reason for existing is to test people., isn't it? There isn't any true evil, just regular people who commit evil acts.

I don't think Satan is being let loose just to test people like some sort of cosmic game God is playing. Satan made his choice. We make our choice.

Satan does tempt us. But we walk willingly into it.

Ultimately, God gave us charge of this world and we gave it up. One day, God will take it back. Hopefully soon.

I don't think think God is playing games, but people do have free will. We can choose which side to go to -- good or evil. That's the price of having free will, some people will choose to lead others astray. The people that follow them may do terrible things but they'll probably think they're doing them for the "right" reasons.
