The Bible says that evil exists
I am currently reading through the Psalms and the other day I was struck by the fact that the Bible states unequivocally that evil exists and that we will have to battle it every day.
For those who do not follow the teachings of the Bible this rocks their world. Mankind wants to hope that one day through the “goodness” that they believe is in all of us, the world will be at peace. I echo their heartfelt desire but according to the scriptures this is foolishness.
Unfortunately, you and I are inherently evil much to the dismay of the Bible skeptic. Man may try to create peace through human endeavor but his efforts can only bring a semblance of peace. It will not last. War and strife will spring up somewhere else.
To quote a famous phrase, “We have met the enemy and he is us.”
