What Is Evil?
PatriotandLiberty Blog ^ | Mar. 2, 2023 | Linda Kimball

During the course of the 20th century socialist and communist regimes brutally murdered somewhere between 160,000,000-200,000,000 men, women, and children in their maddened attempts at building the ideal society free from evil, especially the ‘evils’ caused by Jehovah God, Original Sin, monogamous marriage, the two created sexes, and ethical restraints and cultural taboos. As with the “God is dead” philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, they had stopped looking to heaven for their hopes and rewards, and declaring themselves “good” had become the very essence and face of evil.

Jeremiah 17:9-10 NKJV
“The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.”

We will be ruled by evil until we all agree and understand that the evil is in the heart of ALL mankind, everyone, and there’s no way to avoid it. Even in the process of doing good, evil comes of it. That is the human condition and to deny it is to perpetuate it.

I think evil can be summed up with one Bible verse.

Isaiah 14:13
New King James Version
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’

To be like God is try and live a life without regards to the consequences. You can see this characteristic in Klas Schwab and other world leaders that aligned with him.

Anything that is in opposition to God, whether intentional or otherwise is evil.

Marjorie Taylor Green expresses her disgust with liberals by suggesting we just divorce them. But, as it is with sin and evil there is no escaping the anything goes mind of liberalism.

Rebellion against God is intrinsically evil.

I thought the same for a long time, until I did my research.
I’m not going to say that the RC didn’t kill anybody, because it did. It is a world power.

However, my own research suggests that the RC church was actually putting people on trial to try and save their lives. These people were going to die by the state’s hands. They were condemned. The RC church had no standing army to rescue people, so it resorted to holding trials of its own to see if they were guilty of the crimes they were accused of by the state.

They were already sentenced to death anyway, so holding a trial by the church ensured that, if they were going to die, it’s because they were actually guilty of the crime they were accused of.

The greatest evils on Earth have been done by governments trying to replace the moral authority of God with their own, murdering hundreds of millions in the process.

1st paragraph is good. But when he talks about hurricanes and illness being evil, I stopped reading.

God is life.

Evil is anti-life.

How ironic that evil is live spelled backwards!

The author is describing evil from the perspective of revolutionaries against the Lord. As they see it, Jehovah is responsible for creating an evil world, which includes hurricanes, illness, and so on.

That quote is a perfect example of satanic reversion of reality. Good is evil; normal is abnormal; straight is crooked, and life (live) is evil.

Cold is the absence of heat.
Darkness is the absence of light.
Evil is the absence of good.
