A Philosophical and Spiritual Conversation with Betty part seven

Betty: But we can be fooled can't we? I mean some humans think it is all right to use destructive systems to attain their goals.

The Theologian: These kinds of people are usually atheists either in their consciousness or in practice. They have adopted the false system that means it can be good to practice evil. The evil in them has caused them to become confused about the difference between good and evil. They believe spiritual goodness is useless, and spiritual love does not exist. They believe that somehow they can invent their own form of goodness by the deliberate practice of evil.

Betty: But what causes their confusion?

The Theologian: The spiritual death within all humans, which is totally evil, has caused all humans to become somewhat confused about the difference between goodness and evil. The Devil does not want humans to ever attain a clear distinction between goodness and evil. All humans equate destructive and useless systems with the real idea of nothing. Some humans fail to realize that one of the uses of the idea of nothing is that it indicates the destructive or useless effects of the unreality contained within all false systems. Even humans who know that all false systems are destructive or useless only realize the unreality in false systems in a subconscious way. Humans who believe that destructive systems only equal the real idea of nothing also believe that those destructive effects become nothing in the past. This false system causes them to reason that destructive systems can be used to eliminate any system that they believe prevents them from achieving their goals that they consider to be good. But false systems indicate more than just the real idea of nothing. The real and useful idea of nothing indirectly indicates the nonexistence of unreality which adheres to all false combinations of real ideas and experiences. The ghost that you saw was not real in its false combination of real ideas and experiences, not in the real idea of nothing that only indirectly indicated its unreality. Yet, in some mysterious way, unreality can have destructive and useless effects in reality. Satan has confused some humans into believing that destructive systems only equal nothing which means that they have no effects in the future. Therefore, they reason that destructive systems can be used to achieve goals that they believe to be good. If humans should realize that the only effect that unreality has in false systems resides in its attempt to annihilate goodness, they would also realize that false systems can never be used to achieve systems that they think will be good. Only God knows exactly how to use destructive systems to eliminate other destructive systems which would ensure the continued existence of good systems. Read Isaiah 40:17.

Betty: So what did God do about sin and spiritual death?
