These are perilous times. They have even been foretold us, if we were to seek to know.
A time when real knowledge or even thought is given to what is: “good” and “evil”; this has been lost to the masses.
Who defines what is “Good” and what is “Evil”, anyway?
Who is GOD?
Is there any real evidence that GOD really exists?
What would I be required to do in order to know this information truly?
Is there a source easily available to me?
As we are talking about good, evil, source and evidence; I must acknowledge that no religion I have found seems to about those questions. After all, my definition of religion is that process of mans attempt to control their followers. This has nothing in actuality to following, which could be learned from one of the most common sources, Tanakh or The Bible Read Genesis Chapter One, through the End of Deuteronomy, and then start again.
Here is what you can find in those chapters: Who is The Creator Of The Heavens and The Earth; What does HE Want from YOU; How are you to treat those Near to You(Family, Friends, Community, Nation); how are you to treat those NOT near to You(the Opposite of Near); Your responsibility for what YOU DO.
There is only one item in Free Will, which is your choice to that which is Right(Good) or to do something else(evil). Every time you have a choice, the question is “What are you going to do, now?” Every thing that follows is a consequence of YOUR Actions and Choices.
I find that the above paragraph is not what religions what you to think about. Those five books will tell you everything you need to know to be Righteous and how to change if you may miss the mark(do that which is Evil).
This is probably a great time to show you the reason for your effort. “Exodus 19: 5 Now therefore, if ye will hearken unto My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then ye shall be Mine own treasure from among all peoples; for all the earth is Mine; 6 and ye shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.’”
From this you may ask: How do I become one of the Children of Israel? That is also in the same Book, Exodus. But it is also in Deuteronomy and Leviticus. In a short form: Accept the GOD Of Abraham, GOD Of Isaac, GOD Of Jacob as GOD, even YOUR GOD. This is the start of knowledge. Faith is not required or even desired by the ALMIGHTY GOD. Trust and Belief are desired as you learn more. These because they are based on evidence that should have been observed, demonstrating a Justified TRUST and BELIEF in the ALMIGHTY GOD, Creator of the Heavens and the Earth. . . . This is about evidence given and observable. Evidence like: A promise made more than 660 years in advance of the event, and then what was promised came true. The Promise was to Abram, and the fulfillment we call the Exodus. Many statements or promises made, almost all have been fulfilled to-date.
I hesitate to make too many points regarding Evidence, but maybe just one more for the moment.
“Deuteronomy 32:26 I thought I would make an end of them, I would make their memory cease from among men;
27 Were it not that I dreaded the enemy’s provocation, lest their adversaries should misdeem, lest they should say: Our hand is exalted, and not the LORD hath wrought all this.’”
No matter the punishment, and hardship the LORD has given the Children of Jacob, we still exist. The Tribe of Judah, also known as the “Jews”, are visible to the whole world, and no matter that they are the smallest in number and even the smallest in power with enemies that for thousands of years have attempted to destroy (remove for the earth), the enemies are gone, yet the Jews remain. Still small in number and still struggling against their GOD, yet they are still here on the earth. Evidence? Absolutely Positive Evidence of the Almighty Living GOD Of Abraham. GOD Of Isaac, GOD Of Jacob.
Do you want to know more? You could read the Books I have told you about(Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy, By the Hand Of Moses, called the Written TORAH.
I also have a number of writings, about questions and the answers I have found in the Written Torah. You could keep the Laws and Covenants as Written by the Hand Of Moses. Yet, If you ask, I can show you what I have found. Just ask.
Any process that you decide on, it is your choice. Time is all but gone from the Earth, get started Now. Please! For your own souls sake, don’t wait. Even if you think you know, better find out the truth now.
In Summation:
The questions at the beginning were:
Who defines what is “Good” and what is “Evil”, anyway? The One GOD that said “Let there Be Light” can also say “Lights out”. I say that the Creator of the Universe and all that it contains, Makes to the Rules.
Who is GOD? I have told you where to find the ALMIGHTY GOD, and given a couple of pieces of Evidence, to start you on the path to knowledge.
Is there any real evidence that GOD really exists? Yes
What would I be required to do in order to know this information truly? Read for yourself the Written Torah by the Hand Of Moses. If you ask I something, I can point you to writings that may help you.
Is there a source easily available to me? Don’t have a Tanakh with Hebrew and English, and other languages are available there?
I can not save you, no one can., you must Return and do that which is Right.
I can show you the way, if you want to know.
IT is to our benefit to HEARKEN until the LIVING GOD OF ISHRAEL/ISRAEL, and to our pain and shame to do otherwise.
My prayer is that The LORD grant you eyes that see, ears that hear and an understanding heart, then you return unto HIM soon!(Isaiah 6: 9 And He said: ‘Go, and tell this people: hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. 10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they, seeing with their eyes, and hearing with their ears, and understanding with their heart, return, and be healed.’)
