Can good exist without evil?

Question

Can we know what it is to be happy without experiencing pain or sadness? If not, then how can a perfect Heaven without pain or sadness exist?

Answer 1

Yes good does and can exist with out evil, since God was always the beginning, and when Satan was a good angel in heaven, before he went on a power trip.

Basically evil, or bad is just and experience to teach us, our spirits knowledge for change and for our future.

Answer 2

It is the perception in the mind. Eyes see colors and mind decides which color is pleasant and which is not. It is in everybody's mind and you or nobody can change it. Same thing is with Good or Bad. They are co-existing and at the same time mutually exclusive too. Giving Life to other is a Good trait but what if that Life suffers from Agony, Penury, Ignorance, etc. Will the life giver be the responsible for his/her hardships and problems?? Will you make the Life Giver guilty of it? If yes, then Life Giver has done wrong and He/She has done evil !!
There are different opinions about good and bad. One may say giving help to a beggar is Good and other can say that NO it was wrong. Its upto you what your mind tells you about this. In my opinion, It is perfectly fine to consider that Human traits are perfect blend of Good and Bad. One thing must be always imbibed within and that is the Positive Attitude towards everything (yes Everything) and we should not hesitate in providing help to anybody up to our strength. Then only you will go to the other side (side of "GOOD") of the balance.

Answer 3

God exist regardless of human conditions. Why does everyone assume evil is known only by good?

footnote: those who go to heaven have already experienced happiness and sadness so the need to have it in heaven is unnecessary

Answer 4

Good exist without evil. An example of that is before God created the world. Good existed even though there's no evil. Let's all think positive. All of us are tempted and no one should fall for that.

Answer 5

Because there is no evil in heaven. Evil is what creats the pain and sadness.

Answer 6

Yes it can, absolutely positively so(Revelation21:1-4)There is absolutely no need for evil and it will be removed from the earth so will pain sadness and all suffering.

Answer 7

You are correct, only by knowing pain can we know joy.

As for good existing without evil, yes it can, because evil is nonexistent.
HUUUHHHH?!??!?????

Evil is the absence of good, but doesn't exist in and of itself. Darkness is the absence of light, blindness the absence of sight, death the absence of life, poverty the absence of wealth, ignorance the absence of knowledge, etc etc. Absence isn't something, it's merely the lack of something. Evil is the absence of good, therefore, evil is nonexistent.

Answer 8

Pain and suffering is our measuring stick by which we can measure true happiness. Otherwise, how do you know how great the pearl is you have? When we get to our final resting place, that will not be necessary. [Unless you are in Hell]

Answer 9

the only reason we have pain is because adam and eve sinned when god told them not to eat from the tree of knowledge good and evil, and they did, thats when pain came about. thats why women experiance pain during childbirth, cuz eve sinned. and the only reason there is hell is because the devil used to be one of gods angels and decided he didnt like it anymore, he wanted to be boss so god sent him down.....read the bible its all in there

Answer 10

That was the very intent of God's creation.
