=Q6= The topic of evil

'''Is there such thing as the fight between good and evil?'''

Moral dualism believes that good and evil are equal but opposite. This is a deceived idea as it elevates the devil to be equal with God. The world is not a battle between good vs evil. This clarifies that Satan is not God's peer as many have believed. In fact, God repeatedly called out his creation was good in the beginning (Genesis 1:31- And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, [it was] very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.)

Matthew 5:39 - But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Jesus said do not resist evil. Love your enemies.

One may have a further question, looking at the govermental level, we need the rule of law system in each country, so how is what Jesus taught being applicable here?

Answer: There is a difference between the duty of an individual citizen and the duty of a government. The purpose of the government is to restrain evil. Government and laws are designed to constrain bad people from doing bad things. Jesus was speaking at an individual level where each individual learns to love their neighbors.

'''Is there evil in the world?'''

Isaiah 45:7- I form the light and create the darkness; I bring prosperity and create calamity. I, the LORD, do all these things.

The word used here is a calamity, in many version was translated as evil. The Hebrew word for this is רָעָה רַע

Calamity is different from "moral" evil. To understand the word calamity, think of an example of the railroad tracks. At the station, it has tracks branching off. You chose the consequences base on which path you chose to walk on. God created the railroad tracks that have consequences. Each of these branches of tracks has the calamities which pertain consequences. God gives you what you want and let you wallow in your own consequences.
