Interesting thread.
It’s interesting that throughout the history of mankind, the angelic and spiritual domain has been considered to very well exist by quite capable persons, yet in our generation so many lapse into thinking spirituality is akin to superstitious lack of knowledge.
Some have described the physical world as perceptible by the five bodily sense; the rational world, perceptible by logic, memory, and reason; and the spiritual world, perceptible truly through faith in Christ.
So much of this is described in Scripture, and if one stops and thinks how would one communicate about such things, which are fruitful to communicate, to people who are scarred in their thinking by the physical and soulish world only, without regenerated human spirits, it becomes apparent how much more veritable is the Word of God.
In regards to learning more and more about Him daily through the daily intake of Bible doctrine, it is important, because after the first death, we are no longer in a position to develop our body and soul for Him.
God doesn;t have to endure the presence of evil forever. There will come a time, when those who are found to be evil are separated from His presence, but His love for man has never failed. The separation only occurs where a fallen man rejects the redemption of sin, already provided for by Christ on the Cross when the sins of all mankind were judged. The forgiveness occurs at the moment of salvation and for postsalvation sin, each and every time we return to Him, face Him, and think our sins to Him, confessing known and unknown sins to Him, recognizing He has already paid for them when they were imputed to Him on the Cross.
Once forgiven, we can have fellowship directly with Him through faith in Christ and He can continue to set us apart, growing us in His Plan, for the present and later the Eternal State.
