The ability to distinguish between good and evil is the ability to judge, that is, "to judge good and evil." We can judge whether this is good or that is evil. This is a judge's ability and a judge's position. So, what do we use to judge good and evil? What makes us say that this is good and that is evil? Where are our standards? -In ourselves, only in ourselves. The so-called "sex" and "virtue" of human beings. In short, it is self. Judge the good and evil of this world by yourself. This is what the snake said when it seduced Eve: "The day you eat, your eyes will be bright, and you will know good and evil like a god."
Okay, isn't that good? We can judge good and evil, and we are like gods? Is this not good? No. We know that once Adam and Eve ate this fruit, they would have this ability. Adam can distinguish between good and evil, and Eve can also distinguish between good and evil. Adam can judge what is good and what is evil in this world, and so can Eve. What about when their judgments are different? Adam can judge the good and evil of Eve, Adam is like a god, Eve can judge the good and evil of Adam, and Eve is like a god. Everyone can judge the good and evil of others, and everyone is like a god-so there is no good and evil, and there is no god, because everyone has good and evil, and everyone is a god! The world has lost its harmony and collapsed-the world has fallen!
When God asked Adam, "Did you eat the fruit from the tree I told you not to eat?" Adam, who called Eve "the bone of my bones and the flesh of my flesh", immediately used his ability of "distinguishing good from evil" to distinguish the good from evil of Eve. He said, "You gave me the woman who lived with me, and she gave me the fruit from that tree, and I ate it"-the implication is that Eve did something bad, and you should be blamed for bringing this woman to me. This is Adam's judgment after eating this fruit. He immediately betrayed and abandoned his woman! Let's look at our world, a world full of evil and ugliness. Why? Is it because we humans have no standards for judging good and evil? No, because there are too many standards!
Men judge the good and evil of women, old people judge the good and evil of young people, teachers judge the good and evil of students, intellectuals judge the good and evil of farmers, Beijingers judge the good and evil of Shanghainese, Shanghainese judge the good and evil of Northeast China, China judges the good and evil of Japanese, Europeans judge the good and evil of China, Iraq judges the good and evil of the United States, and the United States judges the good and evil of Iraq, and then Europeans and Asians judge the good and evil of Iraq and the United States. Where are good and evil? What is the difference between fairness and justice between good and evil?
We are not gods. We are human beings. We are always limited. Only an infinite creator and a god who transcends good and evil can truly have the ability to distinguish good from evil. A limited number of people can distinguish good from evil, indicating that the world has become all evil! Because since the relationship between Adam and Eve broke down, the harmony of the world has been lost.
Death is not God's punishment for people, but the inevitable result of God's creation of the laws of heaven and earth. God said: you shouldn't eat it, because you will die on the day you eat it! As parents say to their children: Don't jump from here, because you will die the day you jump. This is the law! We jumped, and we died. Why did God know that Adam would commit a crime? Or should Adam do it? A: You mean it would be nice if God stopped him from committing such a thing, so Adam is not wrong, but God is wrong, right? The mark of a criminal is that he denies his crime and thinks that God has committed a crime. After committing a crime, we often regard God as a sinner. God gives people freedom, which is the greatest honor and glory that God gives to the created world. Honor and glory are crowns, glory is related to morality, and honor is related to status and values. Therefore, people have a noble position, and people have the possibility of honor. Because people have value and worship, they recognize value, and the highest peak produces worship action, which generally produces respect and admiration action. Glory is the basis of morality, and the most basic condition of honor and glory is freedom rather than coercion; Because of this, God gave the possibility of crime to others, and the possibility of crime was given to others, instead of making God the source or cause of crime. Sin is the inevitable result of the creator's unwillingness to attribute himself to God's own righteousness, so it is the misuse of freedom. If God interferes with people and cuts off the possibility of all crimes, then it can be said that why doesn't God create a person who won't commit crimes, and the problem is simpler; If God created a man who would not commit a crime, just as you created a doll today, there would be no crime. All dolls don't commit crimes, but they have no moral value. So God created a creature with moral value, but God put freedom in it. You can only accept this fact, you can only accept God's invitation for redemption. There is no other way. Toyota knew that the car would collapse and continued to manufacture. What this sentence wants to express is a certain part of the truth, that is to say, cars are not built for collisions, and people are not built for crimes. Man is made to glorify God, but when he can't achieve this glory, salvation comes, which shows that God is not releasing people.
