1 Cor 10:13
No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. (NKJ)
There is no individual experience other than that which is common to mankind. Such has been the case since the first two humans who shared a single fire and attempted to communicate. Each has identical knowledge of the inherent presence of three characteristics within the other --
Consider that, in the simplest terms, and very subjectively, individuals tend to loosely define them as 'bad', 'good' and 'indifference'.
Note that the present problem is the same as it has always been. Namely, a universal consensus on absolute definitions cannot be agreed on, resulting in wars and fights.
One's soul as well as 'A'COLLECTIVE spirit is presently and temporarily captive within one's flesh garment.
The flesh continuously complains to one's soul requesting remedies for flesh wants -- wants both necessary for survival of flesh and desires for comforts. Hunger, pain, pleasures and envies.
One's soul sits, if you will, in the judgement seat between the flesh and the collective Spirit, determining and guiding flesh actions and responses.
For a third of mankind, one's contentment is maximized when one does 'good' to others. It is that 'good' feeling.
That inner 'peace' is your cheese. Protect it and it will last forever..
An equal third of mankind seeks to defecate on the cheese they cannot have via the common collective Spirit.
And a third does not even realize cheese exists. Today they are worshiping tech. Yesterday it was stones and wood.
Finally, understand that the collective spirit is indeed God.
He allowed for and created both good and evil. His Spirit is in ALL creation.
Isa 45:7
7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. (KJV)
And like all creation, good and evil will always be.
Eccl 3:14
14 I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere him. (NIV)
If evil were not, how could good be appreciated?
: Reader J, thanks.
