Forrest Gump

In 1994 the movie Forrest Gump was released and I watched it back then I thought it was a beautiful movie. It kind a hurt to see if Forrest was called stupid in that movie. But then he'd say: Stupid is as stupid does. And that cought me. Because here we talk personality. Not a flattering one but personalities are formed from the heart, I think. The Bible says of what the heart is full of the mouth speaks. And also people's deeds are conforming to what the heart is like.

Like a greedy heart, tries to buy all kinds of stuff, or steals. 

So in the light of religion, we have the evil one, who is all evil. And Satan and his demons puts evil ideas in the minds of everyone to keep them from getting saved. If a secular gets killed he cannot be saved anymore. Then the score, as it were, is for Satan. So he's a murderer, a liar, an adolitrer, a thief, a deceiver... all the evil you can think of is of him. He puts the ideas in the minds of people.

While in fact the Bible clearly says the Law of God, which is good, knowing also good and evil, is written in the hearts of men. That means that everyone knows good and evil for a fair extend. We have free will but the devil tempts you in doing the things that are his. He cannot make you do things that are his. He tempts you in all kinds of ways.

I think that no one can deny that good and evil is rooted in the hearts of all of mankind. But that is just a sense of the first kind. The better sense is having the Holy Spirit to indwell you because He will battle Satan for you if you choose the path of Jesus in every decision you make. Call upon the Name of the Lord and all demons will flee from you. There is a Spiritual battle going on and people have no idea, because you can't see it, hear it or smell it. But it is in your thoughts, your mind. That is being battled over almost constantly. Because if the mind is turned often enough the heart follows.

Evil of the flesh

There is evil and evil. There is some evil that Satan does not really have to battle over, and that is evil of the flesh. We are made of flesh and we can sin from the flesh. Like eating and drinking too much is a sin, it is gluttony. Then there are sexual sins etc.

That is why all of man is in emnity with God, because we were built this way and we have Satan and his demons indwelling everyone to do sin. No one can say, I have never sinned or never done any evil. Therefore we are doomed from the start. The Bible says if you have not repented, read also "have the Holy Spirit indwell you", you are of your father the devil. The point here is, you cannot change to a good person according to God without Godly help. As God is the opposite of the world. So any good you think you did or how good you think you are because of your works means nothing to God - because you are not familiar of what is Godly-good.

The curse of the law is, if you do not repent you will be judged by the law. And all your sins will accumulate to an everlasting punishment. So if you want to be adopted by The Father who made you. You have to choose Him. And by rebirth you'll be forgiven by the Grace of God and renewed over time and then The Father is your Father. 

Evil is as evil does

So if we come to the equation Satan is as Satan does - and Satan == evil, then evil is as evil does. 

And that totally personifies Satan. Then how is it even possible to say that in some religions, and we know which, you can lie, rape, be a child molester, abuse women and murder etc in the name of your god - and call it "good". It goes even against the simplest rules of the Law written in the hearts of men.

This is blasphemic to the real Living God, because you are not good and your father is still Satan. And Satan knows his verdict already, but the same is for all his followers. I would recommend to take a good look at good and evil before you go on believing what you are believing. 

Even worse are people who don't even know what they believe. They just say that they are of some religion but if you confront them with aspects of their religion they become violent or angry like they are being insulted, but you just point out to their own scriptures. But these people just don't look any further to look for the only and True Living God. Just because you are born into some religion does not make you less guilty for not questioning your belief.

Measure your belief at least to what is wrong or right. You may not know of all what is sinful, but at least you have sense of good and evil. Abusing women is wrong, and the God of Abraham says that we are to love our women, then know what kind of doctrine you are dealing with. All of which is not of God is of demons, so its a devine doctrine or a doctrine of demons.
