God did not give the Promised Land to Israel on a platter. God gave the vision, the inspiration and if your like, the grace, but Israel had to create the kind of society/land that was set before them as the ideal to be reached.  Compared with the Tigris/Eurphrates region to the North and the Nile to the South, Palestine had a lot of rocky soil, desert, unreliable rainfall and the like, and of course modern Israeli has shown how it can be made to blossom.  In the same way humanity has been given this earth to turn into a Promised Land, and we have been given a life for the same purpose. There is no gain without pain. There are giants in the land to be overcome. There is evil to be engaged. I think you get my drift.  RDB

I think its helpful to view evil not as a force or entity into its own (vis a vis God) but rather as a pathology. 

You can think of evil as a deficiency disease.  You can say scurvy is undeniable,  but Vitamin C will cure it.

I once read a study on vicious male murders.  People that anyone would rightly call evil.  In nearly ever case, these men were rejected by their mothers at birth.  While it is true that some people in these life circumstances rise above it, some don't.  Whether or not such people can be fixed - is an open question.  Perhaps many of them will have to be warehoused for the rest of their lives to protect other humans - much of it depends on them.  But they did not become that way in a vacuum without influences.

Its when we get into the dualistic mindset that we come to some really erroneous conclusions about people and life.  But such is the natural fallout when we base those conclusions on the incomplete system of binary Aristotelian logic. Bill Ferguson

Many Christians don't even want to know the truth.  They don't want to believe or even hear of anything else than what they have been taught to believe.  They don't want to know or even admit that a lot of what they believe to be biblical is not, but is merely historical myth filtered down through eons of time.
An example is there is nothing scriptural to indicate Jesus is the "Lord of Light" or that Satan is Lucifer; this is an ancient Christian myth originating at the time when all other gods were called devils.  A real "devil" is a man with twelve disciples, he is the number thirteen, this is one of the reasons why thirteen is considered unlucky.
  Jesus also was said to have twelve disciples (a later interpolation which is now a part of our modern bible), but that comparison was only used to make Jesus into a Christian god like Lucifer once was.
Most Christians today have never heard of Christian mythology, the ancient beliefs of Christians long before there was a Jesus.  They don't know--except in myth--how Jesus took the place of Lucifer, and Lucifer became a devil. Many Christians don't even know, or refuse to believe that Christianity did not start with Jesus.
This is the reason why Lucifer is sometimes confused with Satan, but historically, they are not the same at all.

The summary of Michael Morwood's book "Children Praying A New Story" and Hope's comment makes me believe that this book is a must for every parent and teacher. A book such as this should be scattered all over the earth. Can you give more details on the price and contact address for ordering.

This book of Michael Morwood's for teaching children is the conclusion of the whole matter. Michael has excelled himself in expressing eternal truths in a way that children can understand. No book for children or adults has come near to the way Michael has captured the most complex questions humanity can ask and opened them as revelations to the mind of a child. Michael can be trusted as one with a spiritual gift for revealing  truth made relevant for our generation.
