In this post the Gospel Message is presented in that there is LAW which one lives under, but GRACE to those who accept it.

Not long ago I found my mind asking a series of questions while in quiet contemplation. First, before the universe of space and time and energy (matter is condensed energy), there was only God, right? When there was only God, there could not have been any evil, right? So how is it that God brought evil into existence since He has no evil in Him? Now for the fun part: The universe is expanding away from the initial point of creation, dissipating space and time as it were: Is this fundamental characteristic the origin of evil? Since all that is has been created by His Word, even satan and his demonic minions were initially created, so is there something about the way the universe is dissipating in order to manifest the characteristics which allowed we humans to have a place to be that generates a counter, expressed as ‘yin and yang’ in oriental philosophy? And since we humans have been given the ability to choose good over evil, right over wrong, His Love and WIll for us over our own pridefulness, are we in fact progressing along already created lines of ‘force’ expressed first in the creation of a universe and all that is in it which must dissipate, divide and re-express by the action of the will of those agents able to discern right and wrong?

it's easy to tell right from wrong, the right way is always the hard way...

“and freewill means the genuine possibility of wrong decision,”

That’s not true. I, for instance, have never maid any misteaks.
