The Problems of Evil 

- Acolyte Alfred Barclay’s Short Thesis -

 

 

 

 

☨ Evil drags the sinful men from the path to the Seven Skies. ☨

 

 

Good and evil - two very different things, which are again, at the same time, part of all living beings. All of us, believers or not, have experienced some evil, or we will just experience it, which has changed us in any way, or will change us soon. Unfortunately, the harsh reality is that we are all victims of many evils in this world, in which we fight for survival with the help of our Lord, making us His humble servants.

 

It is not worse to mention that man himself, in many situations in life, creates many evils for which he does not know the final consequences. These dishonorable deeds make us smaller in the eyes of God, making this world sinful, more and more. However, we need to know that some sinful things have led to the creation of something bigger, more powerful, and better after all. How, then, should we look at such things? Do we need to be content with good things, even though they came out of bad deeds and behavior, no matter how big or small those deeds were?  

 

Virtue 4:6,7:

‘6 For I have blessed you with My miracle of creation, and you shall draw nearer to My throne by your labors.

7 And you shall discover strength of heart as you work the forge and the plow.

 

 

 

Looking around, we observe the world, but superficially. We look at everything around us and think it’s all there because it was predestined to be that way. If we were to ask ourselves how some things came about and what they came from, a big door of questions would open for us, but a small door would still be locked for us, of course, with all the answers. Evil wants us to spread it as much as we can, because if we know anything about life, we can understand that bad things come from evil people. What is bad and evil can never be good in the eyes of God - sentence that we all need to be aware of. If God forbids sinners from entering the Seven Skies, we immediately conclude that it is the right thing to do. We need to be smart and have common sense, because if we do not believe in our Lord, then what is our purpose? Although Evil wants to take us on the worst path, a path that has no end to that evil, we must remain strong, strong in faith and pure in heart.

 

 

Virtue 5:7,8:

‘7 For I have given you the pains of the world, and I have given you their cure.

8 And you shall know the trials of this theater of virtue, and know that they shall strengthen you.

 

 

 

Faith strengthens every man who has common sense, reason strong and significant enough to lead him on the right path, because the only right path is the path to God. Faith strengthens us day by day, making us believers and humble servants of our Lord. No matter how good and honest our Lord is, or rude and unfair to us, we, his humble servants, should always be better to him, to the one God of this world. The path of evil is a path without happiness and joy, a path without success and satisfaction, so we should avoid it at all costs.

 

As the Lord commands us, so we do, without hesitation or giving up. Man was created to work, succeed and enjoy, but also to struggle. All of this is the creation of our God, so we need to align ourselves with the various goods of this world, before embarking on one single and right path, the path to the Seven Skies. Let us enjoy the open fields of good and happiness, rejoice as much as we can and dedicate ourselves to God as much as we can, and set aside Evil and evil thoughts and things, in chambers for which we will never look back or think of them, for so our Lord said, and so it will be.
