Surely most of you already know most of what I will be posting here. However, explaining this is always hard. So this is an attempt to come to understand this even better.
God the almighty Programmer and Creator of everything, the physical world and the spiritual realm, Our super powerful, super computing, super sensitive, super wise all loving God carefully planned everything that happens in great, GREAT detail (Luke 12:7), from the beginning to end, there is nothing to take out of it, nothing to add, it is a perfect project that works far, far more complex than any tiny human mind could ever come to fully understand. Our God knows exactly how everything works, for him everything is predictable and deterministic. God never gets surprised, God is always good. And He fully knows what is he doing and why.
Now, without taking in account both worlds; the spiritual and the physical, it's impossible to explain EVIL. We all relatively know some about the physical world, but about the spiritual world we know much less, --it's such a mystery. Any images about the spiritual world only help to misrepresent and confuse us even more. Much of what we can know is that there are good and bad conscious spirits beings with different ranks and therefore must be also different systems and structures. We also know that the spiritual realm is constantly influencing the physical world trough our minds and therefore many of our actions on a daily base.
So there we have it, as if dealing with our own carnal mind was not enough... we also have to deal with the influences of bad spirit beings who take advantage of our carnal desires and are constantly trying to drag us away from the truth! (Eph. 6:12)
Seems as if the spiritual realm is at war! And all spirits have their own position and function on it... Obviously these spirits beings are intelligent and for them there is a reason behind what they do. After all… they are all under the ‘large scale of spiritual systems’ which God--The Great engineer and programmer has designed.
Our almighty God, all power full, super wise Creator of all realms always has a good and great purpose for everything that He does, and that includes every evil that He permits and frames on the spiritual realm as well as He does in the physical one (Mat 6:10).
''...For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust...'' (Mat. 5:45)
Like it or not... This is the truth of things:
''I [God] form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.'' (Isa. 45:7)
and
"...I created the ruiner [the Destructor] to harm [to destroy]..." (Isa.54:16)
When talking about the spiritual realm, of course I wouldn't forget to mention that dirty spirit being called Satan the Devil; the ruiner\destructor, the prince of the power of the air (Ephesians 2:2), whom as you already know is the spirit with the highest rank among the spirits beings of evil nature.
Now here is the deal. I think that the most we think and take into account "the spiritual realm influencing the physical world", the easiest it will be for us to understand why so much nasty (but temporally) EVIL in this world.
So here is an analogy (which can be used until certain extend) to help us to comprehend better the influence of the spiritual realm in our physical world:
No body of us can see the internet, neither touch the internet, and we can't get our bodies inside the internet. However, we experience the effects of the internet every time we open a webpage which is stored in somebody else hard drive... the consequences of the internet in the world are of colossal magnitude, most of the people who use the internet doesn't technically know how it works, and it doesn't matter if people believe if it exist or not, the internet is in cyberspace and we can all see it's effects every day.
No body of us can see the spiritual realm, neither touch it, smell it, or taste it. However, we experience it's colossal effects on a daily base, why is there so much EVIL in the world?
Because that somewhat powerful spiritual being called ''the ruiner'' is very good at what he does, we know he is not omnipresent but as a president, his influence and power affects the lives of many humans as well as other bad spirit beings.
And I could go on and on, naming all kinds of nasty sins. Why they are such depraved minds out there ruining others and making ugly acts of shame? The answer is because they are victims of the influences of the ''prince of the power of the air". You see. We can rightly blame it all on the devil. And that's okay, that's his function. Of course, that argument will not help anyone in a mans court. But in God's judgement, He is going to surely take it in account.
The devil make me do it. Of course--seriously. But we still have to face the consequences, and eventually by it, our carnal mind is being destroyed.
The God of patience knew exactly how much knowledge of evil each of us would be able to take, it's personalized. We tend to feel so bad for others experiences of evil (either physical experiences or mental ones) when we really doesn't exactly know how much physical or spiritual strength they have to be able to handle it. In winter sometimes I use three layers of cloth while certain people in the streets are carelessly walking in shorts and t-shirt. I am not trying to be insensitive about it. Personally I have seen great evil first hand (at least to my perception) and I have cried, and felt great empathy, and sometimes I have been scare. However, for some reason my mind doesn't have a problem with God knowing this things would happen and still putting His whole master plan to start. Our tiny little conception of "what should be" and what "should never had existed" is a joke in comparison with the Mind and the Wisdom of God.
Christians have such a bizarre, twisted idea of God, they do not fear Him at all, they think that everything is in such a mess, and their god is all weary, trying to deal with the mischievousness of the wacky devil while trying to convince those crazy tiny little humans that he created to believe on him. Christians wish that evil had never existed, and their god is just a helpless romantic, weak, wishful and looser god whom needs your money and to be entertained with repetitive songs.
I guess that if we can take a few things out of all this deal, it should be PERSPECTIVE, reverence to the All Mighty and humility from our part. I said perspective because from God's perspective there are many absolutes while from man's perspective it's all relative, we humans change constantly, merely walking in the shadows of death (a few of us with faith and many without) and to think that we could have done things better than our all powerful, all wise, super smart, super loving God, it's just dumb.
"The fear [reverent holy fear] of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding." (Pro. 9:10)
Right now, things are the way they are... the physical and spiritual world are as they are and I myself (or you) can't really do ANYTHING about it... It's an experience of evil that I must go right now and trough the rest of my life so that I can become humble, I don't dare to criticize God's plan. Actually every day is interesting, it's a challenge, it's exiting!
"In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge." (Prov. 14:26)
On this age, the knowledge of the true God, of his plan and intentions, of the the spiritual realm, of the existence of ''the ruiner'' and the existence of Jesus Christ our Savior IS NOT for everyone... On this age, faith is just a gift for some called ones, and "overcoming until the end with this faith" is a gift for very few.
Trough the spiritual realm we are also influenced by a very powerful spirit of good nature. It's the spirit of Jesus Christ himself. When we display the fruits of this spirit, our minds are kind of possessed by this holy spirit.
Everything was created trough this program that is part of God which is called Jesus.
"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.' (Eph. 2:10)
And YET Jesus himself is humble!
...meek am I and humble in heart... Jesus
