Who Created “Good” and “Evil”?

How important is it for people to understand what “good” and “evil” mean? For those of us with Christian Biblical Heritages, evil is a very important word. In the King James Version of the Bible the word “evil” appears 613 times. “Good” appears 720 times. I found this very interesting, because I heard a lot more about evil than I did about good in the church my family attended when I was growing up. That really stood out at the end of every church service when “the invitation” was given. It was an opportunity for “lost” people to be “saved.” Why were they lost and why did they need to be saved?

Distinguishing Between The Kingdom of Elohim & Cosmic Wars

  A cosmic war is like a ritual drama in which participants act out on earth a battle they believe is actually taking place in the heavens. It is, in other words, both a real, physical struggle in this world and an imagined, moral encounter in the world beyond. The conflict may be real and the carnage material, but the war itself is being waged on a spiritual plane; we humans are merely actors in a divine script written by God.

What am I?

What am I? Now that’s a question a lot of people have asked in the history of humans. We ( Rabbi Jeffrey Leynor and former pastor Jim Myers ) created two models for working with that question – after wrestling with it for over 25 years . You may have noticed that use models instead of answers. Most questions about life are better understood by using models that reveal potentialities than statements of either/or answers . Our models emerged from two sources in which our research and studies focused on during our journey together – one source is an ancient wisdom account embedded in our shared religious texts and the other source is modern science . This makes our approach at the TOV Center unique in many respects – we combine the wisdom of ancient texts with the facts of modern science to maximize human experiences . As pointed out above, we created a model from each source to help us better understand humans: (1) Ancient Wisdom Model – Humans are creatures that share t...

Will science do a better job than religions?

Science tells us the following things about humans: 1. Humans have basic physical requirements that must be met in order to survive. 2. Humans are totally dependent on other humans from conception to death. 3. Without cooperation or power relationships required for human survival will not exist.   4. Relationships based on cooperation have better outcomes than those based on power. The first stories in the book of Genesis reveal the same ideas. Do you think science will do a better job than religions in getting humans to understand and apply them to their lives? Or do you think religions can change and do a better job? _____________________________________________________________ Did you find this information helpful?
