I'm wondering whether people (specifically Christians) think these are statements are true or false.
1. Evil is the exact opposite of good.
2. Satan is the eternal enemy of God.
3. Good could not exist without evil.
4. Evil could not exist without good.
5. Every evil deed is merely a perversion of a good deed.
6. Evil has always existed.
7. Evil will always exist.
8. Moral values are sourced in man.
9. Moral values are sourced outside of man.
10. Moral values are revealed most clearly in the Scriptures.
11. Moral values are revealed most clearly in the life of Christ.
12. Without the knowledge of evil, we would never be able to appreciate the holiness of God.
Thank you for your help! P.S. You don't need to explain why you think it's true or false. Thanks!
