When will evil realize their is no place for it in God's Kingdom?

Question

Universal Pants, I chuckled a bit. LOL!

Answer 1

From the moment Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit evil has existed. Adam blamed it on Eve and Eve blamed it on the snake.
As long as we believe and we lead our lives in the eyes of Gods goodness and teachings we are able to control the amount of evil existing around us. Keeping negative people away also helps.
I do not fear evil as I am full of God's goodness and love. God is my protector. My true Father, and Fathers do not steer us wrong, especially the Almighty Father.
We all need to become more responsible for the things we do and say and keep negativity out of our lives. We also must remember that we cannot control others lives, they will always do as they wish.
I believe living life in Gods teachings can limit the amount of evil we have to filter out of our lives.
All power and glory to God in the highest!!!

Answer 2

Answer: Oh My dear brother! Grunt that I am I offer this...
Both what we precieve as good and evil begin in Gods kingdom...It is in the free will of man to make the choice ...the decision is not ordained.
You are correct that evil has an opposite, I question that it was for a place in "God's Kingdom?" or a reason to make a point...but whatever...it only has power on the back side.

Answer 3

Well, there is a little minor difficulty here....

See, G-d created evil as it clearly says in Is 45:7. It used the root bara for created, so there is no possiblilty it was not G-d that created evil. So, apparently G-d thought there was a place.

And there is yet another problem....are you implying that there is someplace outside of G-d's kingdom?

In Judaism, we interpret what others call evil a little differently. It was created by G-d for a reason. We can only surmise what the reason is, but here is my interpretation of it based on Chassidic writtings I've read.

The angels have no free will, and so they don't have to fight evil. It's not in their nature to do any evil at all. People, on the other hand have the ability to choose good or evil. It is the constant battle against our evil inclination that allows those victorious to achieve more merit than angels.

What merit is there for a person to eat? No, I'm not saying eating is evil. What I'm saying is there is no merit in eating because it is something we have to do. However, we can make a choice. We can eat as G-d has commanded us in the Torah, or we can eat non-kosher food. By making the proper choice, we affirm our obedience to G-d. By choosing food as part of an oneg for Shabbat, we elevate the act of eating even higher.

In our viewpoint, it's ALL G-d's kingdom. Otherwise G-d would not be infinite.

When we look at the book of Job, we see G-d allowing things that are clearly evil to happen to him. Why? What was the end result? Hashem added to all that Job had until there was double. Job was rewarded for the difficulties he had, and in the end he was closer to Hashem.

Job tried the same argument you have. It's not fair that this should happen to me...I've been good...etc. Yet in the end Job learned he wasn't as good as he thought and changed.

Those people who experience no difficulties in their lives are very unlikely to have a close relationship with G-d. In fact, continuous abundance might be said to be a curse. We can see this with the blessing Isaac gave Esau.

Gen 27:39 So Isaac his father answered, and said to him: "Behold, of the fatness of the earth shall be your dwelling, and of the dewo of the heavens above..." Notice, there is no mention of G-d in this "blessing."

Compare this to the blessing he gave Jacob "And may G-d give you of the dew of the heavens and of the fatness of the earth, and abundant grains and wine."

Jacob's blessing was dependent on a relationship with G-d. For the Jewish people, our blessings are dependent on a relationship with G-d.

Thank you asking this question so I could give some small understanding of the subject. The whole answer eludes humanity.

Shalom,

Answer 4

Evil will never realize there is no place in God's Kingdom until a couple of things happens.

1. The Holy Spirit comes upon them and convicts them of their guilt while still alive on earth.
"When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment." (John 16:8)

2. Standing before God and they ultimately will bow down and confess that Jesus is Lord.
"that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:10,11)

3. When they are standing outside the Holy city.
"Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood." (Revelation 22:14,15)

Answer 5

Of course there's no evil in God's Kingdom, Heaven is a pearly-gated community.

Answer 6

When It feels the mighty hand of God come down upon it Semper, and I'm afraid not before. It makes my heart cry out for those that do not acknowledge His amazing grace. But all any of us can do in the meantime is pray and have faith. The power of prayer can move mountains brother, and faith for those things which can not be seen.

Answer 7

Evil knows it has no place in God's Kingdom. It infiltrates in order to weaken God's people and cause disorder and chaos. It causes division in the Church. This weakens the Churches power in the earth. "A little leaven leavens the whole lump." We have power over the enemy...but if he can appeal to our flesh and pit us against each other...our power is lessened.

Answer 8

Assuming you've already accepted the belief and teaching of Jesus, here we go.....Jesus said "the kingdom of God is within you" and in Romans Paul said tha"if Christ is alive your body is dead to sin....this is difficult for me to explain so I'll say it using a dummy's woods. "mine"

In the Old Testament God promied to set up his kingdom on earth. Jewish people waited for an earthly king. He came with a different message: the weak are strong, the first will be last and to top it off says the kingdom is inside us. Jesus established this in his victory on the cross and sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in and to "write the rules of the kingdom on our hearts instead of tablets of stone. (like the old law) (Corthians)
He taught us to pray; Our father which art in heaven Hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.....
Many would disagree with this but still, it's my best conclusion. The Bible says he's aready transferred us to the kingdom of light.
I think the Bible teaches evil is already defeated in the man who wants to live by the spirit.

Answer 9

Evil know's there's no place for it in god's kingdom. That's why it does what it can while still on earth.

Answer 10

It can't, the majority of the people who do ill to others do not realise that their actions could be referred to as evil.

As for the people who purposefully go out and do evil (if you can accept that such people exist), they simply don't care.

I have heard of the nature of Evil as being synonymous with the Insane, and the truly Insane can never truly appreciate or understand anything.

btw; what people normally refer to as insanity is actually just a state of super-charged intelligence, TRUE insanity is like being an animal.
