Good and evil

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:20

 Most people agree that there is good and evil in the world. Some disagree as to the source or origin of both. The creator God is the only logical source of good. His natural creation and laws given to man is the only true standard whereby we may find peace and happiness. The source of evil comes from the rebellious Adamic nature of mankind and the tempting power of Satan to those who fall for his devices.

If all men followed the Ten Commandments it would result in a peaceful and tranquil world. No set of laws issued by man can come close to providing the peace and stability that obedience to God's Ten Commandments brings to the world.

We have been blessed to live in a nation that patterned their civil laws in harmony with God's laws. That is now being demolished in favor of laws that call evil good and good evil.

The atheist or anti-God person continues to rant at a God they don't believe in to explain the acts of evil committed by a person. Usually the weapon, especially guns, used by a person is condemned, rather than the evil act of the person themselves

Only the foolish ignore the natural creation and all the laws it exhibits in denying the existence of God as the source of Good and the judge of evil deeds. “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God…” Psalms 14:1
