The only devil that mankind needs to worry about is the himself. The only hell to fear is the one you put yourself through. To ignore God(love)and worship the self(satan, money, greed, power) is the absence of God(hell). God is not everywhere in the sense that He is not in your heart unless you seek for Him there. If you seek you shall find. It is called freewill. He departs from the wicked.
If that is your view of mankind, we disagree about the fundamental nature of man. But we agree about the Devil. The only hell to fear is the one you put yourself through.
Exactly. To ignore God(love)and worship the self(satan, money, greed, power) is the absence of God(hell). God is not everywhere in the sense that He is not in your heart unless you seek for Him there.
Well, God is still there, but your connection is turned off, so you perceive God as absebt. But God is always right there. God is Omnipotent, Omniscinet, Omnipresent. The One Power, One Presence is usable at any time by us. We always use it, but unless we make deliberate use of it, we perceive it as random and not "of God." If you seek you shall find. It is called freewill. He departs from the wicked.
God never departs from us, because God is All There Is. But we "turn off" teh connection by the imagining that God is not there. Even though this is not true, Divine Law acts as if it were. But we can change that by making a new decision at any time.
