Hey River

Here is another way that might help...

Rev 22:11  He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. ~ :)

Hi River,

Yea these articles are so brim full of information that we just can't remember most (or even half) of it in a read through. That's why I like to search back through the articles and find the info on certain subjects. Sometimes I find a subject matter scattered through a number of articles, but pulled all together it usually covers the subject very well. It helps me learn a lot and I can post it here to answer questions as well, it's all good. Goggle advanced search is a great tool to have  :D

mercy, peace and love

These two verses pop into my mind when I think about the evil God causes.

Gen 50:20  But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

Rom 8:28  And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

I just tell myself all is of God, and all He does is for our ultimate good. I don't completely understand it, but verses like the above help me believe it.
