The Bible Cannot Fully Explain Evil

For all that I’ve tried to figure out the occult, the effort has not made the job of holy living any easier. The root problem of evil is that we instinctively want it, not that we’re insufficiently educated about it.

Which is why Australia isn’t likely to call me a winner anytime soon.

Corruption, Conspiracy and a Book Giveaway

The release of more of the Epstein files brings to my mind, how the Bible told us how Babylon works many years ago;

“17 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality, and with the wine of whose sexual immorality the dwellers on earth have become drunk.” (Rev. 17:1-2).

The Epstein Files have become a soap opera for credulous idiots. They’re being released at a slow rate in order to add & delete potentially incriminating content. A case in point, they just released ‘information’ linking that infamous Jewish psychopath, with lifelong personal & business associations with the Israeli daughter of a major Israeli spy, and former Prime Minister Ehud Barak, and a certain orange Zionist from Jew York who gave his own daughter to Israel, was akshually working for the Russian KGB!

Sheesh.

I only want to know one thing from the Epstein Files: a list of current government employees, officers and judges who are vulnerable to blackmail as a result of Epstein’s operations. I already know about Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton, thank you for not wasting my time any further.

The term conspiracy or conspire is used dozens of times in the Bible. There are also references to many direct conspiracies involving government and religious officials, where the word is not directly used, but are still examples of clear conspiracies. This evil way of the world is woven throughout the Bible, and is even a central aspect of the most important part of the Bible, the unjust crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ himself.

Such conspiracies are inevitable as a result of social circles. Anybody who gets installed as Dear Leader, well, he’s always going to care more about his friends than people he’ll never meet. That is why best government is least government, to minimize temptations for abusing of power, also best government is local government so Dear Leader’s social circle is as large a percentage of his population as possible.

It’s not that conspiracies exist so much as what they’re hiding, that makes them harmful. If my real-life identity & behavior get doxxed someday, I won’t be ashamed of anything. I’ll just be vulnerable to bitter losers with nothing better to do than witch hunts for Christians.

But when evil men conspire to do evil, they cannot survive exposure, so their conspiracies get conspiracies until blackmailers start nosing around.

I maintain that the current, global, Babylonian conspiracy happened because of global communications… the frustration of which was why the original Babel-on project fell apart, and the existence of which completes the Great Commission. We’ve always suffered similar, lesser conspiracies among our rulers. They weren’t so cruel/desperate about them because there wasn’t a central clearing house of intelligence-community blackmailers who also had the financial nuclear trigger of the SWIFT/Fed system.

John Calvin and Charles Spurgeon both noted that dark, evil conspiracies are a common part of how power works in our world. I believe one or even both of them noted that we would be foolish to ignore this.

Hence, I addressed this in detail in my book, Like a Roaring Lion.

To help promote the book I am going to run a short competition. The prize will be a copy of the book.

That sounds like fun!

Here is the competition, it is simple. Share this post and comment. The best comment wins, by that I mean the best biblically based reflection. I will be running the prize over a few different platforms, so once I have the leading entries I will put them in a new blog or Substack and explain why I chose the one which wins.

God bless you, and may the best post win.

Aww, that’s a deal-breaker. The Bible cannot fully explain evil. If Christianity was about mentally assenting to a list of terms and conditions, then it would be as easy as installing software. If only that was the case!

Bible: “Sexual immortality is bad. Really bad. Avoid sexual immorality!”

Me: “Okay! That makes sense… adultery, bastardy, STDs, sexual hoarding, God’s teaching prevents all that. This is clearly the way forward!” Bible thump

Neighbor: “Does this bikini make my ass look fat? The top keeps pinching me! Are you lonely, too?”

Me: “Uh-oh.”

And just like that, a man gained insight into how a perfectly formed, intelligent being like Satan could end up a rebel. Nobody sat down with him and lectured Satan on the objective benefits of turning against Almighty God.

Grok came, Grok saw, Grok WANTED!!!

My example is the Biblical tale of how the little-g gods fell from heaven and created the Nephilim, so far as we’re told. It didn’t start out as a cosmic conspiracy. Desires of misplaced appetite become consequences made flesh, and then there was no off-ramp from God’s perfect justice. Not for them.

If we’re going to be God’s next inner circle, then we need to learn to control those desires better than our predecessors did… but if that could be taught in a church’s classroom then sin would have been cured a long time ago. If perfect beings were immune to such error then God wouldn’t put us through this mortal life of constantly confronting the evils of both other peoples’ and our own.

It’s been educational, yes? If nothing else.

We humans have forgiveness in Jesus, but even then, most people persist in choosing evil over good. I could list the reasons but you already know which reason is YOURS, and that’s the one that matters. And that’s the problem with evil. It starts out as the easy path, the entitlement, the compromise, the kind of harmless fun that stays in Vegas.

And only repentance makes it go away. People do not like repenting. It’s not a matter of head-knowledge.

DESCRIPTION

Christianity doesn’t have an “evil problem” to explain away—evil has a Christianity problem. While many books try to reconcile the existence of evil with a good God…

And fail because of their opening assumption, “Perfect beings never choose evil.”

…this book takes a different approach. It shows that only Scripture, culminating in the person and work of Jesus, truly exposes what evil is, why it exists, and how it operates in our world.

Anybody who has not lived in the world and discovered their own evil for themselves, cannot understand Scripture. Those who have, are not surprised when most people choose Evil over God.

Early in the Manosphere days, I learned more of female nature from Roosh and Rollo Tomassi than I had from Scripture. The Bible had not been enough for me to understand even as basic a concept as Original Sin. Not until I was able to match it to my life experiences.

This book offers a wide-ranging, thoroughly biblical exploration of how evil works, how it deceives, and how it seeks to destroy.

“How does evil deceive us?” It doesn’t, it tempts us. We are born as slaves to sin; our mortal nature loves sin; Satan enjoys great success because he starts out with a foothold inside our defenses.

One hopes that the book doesn’t blame Adam for Eve’s sin. That’s my life experiences talking, not Scripture, that talk of sin’s “deception” often turns into apologetics for feminism.

It is good that you can read Biblical descriptions about Satan’s foothold, but knowing it doesn’t weaken that foothold. Suffering and evil are difficult topics to teach because they can’t be taught. You have to experience the Matrix for yourselves… and choose to do right when every incentive is to do wrong.

If the first Book a Christian reads can’t train us to fight evil then what are the odds a second book can? As the book of James discusses in depth, the problem is in the doing not the understanding.

It also tackles subjects the modern church has often forgotten, softened or misunderstood. Rooted firmly in Scripture, it reveals the strategies of evil and equips believers with the spiritual weapons God has provided.

If you want to understand the nature of evil, its influence in daily life, and how to fight back with the truth of Christ, this book is an essential guide.

Presuming that he’s talking about world conspiracies here, I could discourse enough on Freemasonry and others to write my own books by now. It wouldn’t help you. It didn’t help me. That may explain why God barely bothered to describe Babylon in Scripture. A couple lines about Nimrod, nothing about Semiramis or her secret-police clergy, a couple scenes from the End Times… the Exile to Babylon doesn’t even demonstrate Babylonian beliefs, because every empire in history suffered similar political intrigues. God apparently decided that detailed knowledge of Babylon’s corruption was unnecessary for our moral development, even as He described Babylon bookending the age we live in.

There are times when God builds up, and times when God tears down. My sense is that God tolerates the former only as a necessity for the latter. Humanity prefers the former, of course, but His favorite moments in history appear to be when He allows evil to reign and put His followers to the test (or sword). That is, after all, how Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego and Daniel overcame the Babylonian Empire. They went into that furnace (or lion’s den) fully expecting to die. That didn’t register with me as a child. Now that I see the Empire of Iron Mixed With Clay arriving, the lesson is sinking in because now, the lesson is personal.

Not academic.

Now it’s our turn to live through a time of tearing down. It’s frightening, uncertain and unfair. We should be able to raise families in safety and prosperity like (most of) our ancestors could. We should be allowed rewarding careers. We should have safe streets full of people we share a language and culture with.

We don’t and no book will change that, no book could have prevented that and no book can comfort us when our time comes. “Have faith! Trust God!” the Good Book says, while Leviathan rises in the headlines. Easily said, not so easily done…
