q and a i liked.
If God is omnipotent, why does evil exist? If He created us from love, why does he send us to Hell?
you very nearly got it, but seem to be caught at a different stage. you see the notions of good and evil are useful when tring to figure out the best way to be selfish, the most efficent way of incresing happeness and that is charity and love. evil pushs to love by repeling away: good comforts Job, who is punnished while others learn this lesson. (you know be nice)
there realy is no use for good and evil now is there, and if there is no evil there is no hell, no fear. for a misdeed is its own punishment, as a good deed is its own reward. so to be Honest about your selfishness you will discover the best way to help your self is to help thouse around you. for, since god is humble, we are the active agents of his love, and we are rewarded by feeling it better.
then there are at least 4 other stages i have been in.
i find the poler GOOD v. EVIL notion useful in the agregate (like pain) but when black and white notions are applied to the technicolor of life, things become less clear, is yellow white and green black, what about purple and red and the hues of each and others. God knows as does your conscience.
Be aware of your conscince, for it is the messure of the Honesty of your Selfishness.
with much love,

good. To put the answer in a nutshell I see it as evil being simply the absence of good…darkness the absence of light etc etc….hell is distance from God and Heaven is nearness to God. Its that simple. Hugs

I like your thoughts. I tend to believe that we are our own judges. I believe that my judgement is the highest power (for my own actions) and that only I can decide if I did something good or bad. Yet there is nothing entirely good or entirely bad. There are just shades, no black and white. You just choose the shade you want to live in.

RYN: TEACHER SEEKS PUPIL. Must have an earnest desire to save the world. Apply in person. It was just a three-line ad in the personals section, but it launched the adventure of a lifetime.

i don’t know if i believe in hell. Not as a place/location anyway. Perhaps as a state of being though. Some people say hell is separation from God. But aren’t we already separated from God? Could hell be worse than the darkest depths of life?
