The beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil (Part 4)


What if someone called you an idiot for believing in the existence of the sun?

Would this person be worth arguing with? Or would you assume his insanity?

You may not be able to scientifically argue about the sun. But you've experienced it.

No one can convince you against it.

Once a man said to me, "Demons are figments of human imagination and invention."

I knew as well as I know the sun that he had no idea what he was talking about.

Why?

Not just because the Bible makes it crystal clear that demons exist, but I've personally experienced them. I've experienced crazy people. And I've experienced demon possessed people. I know the difference, and so would you, if you don't already know.

Or take my 7 beautiful children. Which 5 of them shouldn't exist to satisfy the foolish American standard of 2 children being the acceptable number of children? Any sane person who even sees a picture of my children would know without doubt that they are divine, and that the world is a better place because they are here.  In other words, anyone who has a problem with how many children I have confirms her insanity, at best, or evilness, at worst.  After all, he is really suggesting that some of my children should not have been born, or should have been killed in my wife's womb.  What is the alternative to their “objection” of a certain acceptable number of children?

If a good person is ashamed or embarrassed or afraid, he or she lacks some real experience of the reality and goodness of God.

Anyone who experiences God as He is will be bold beyond belief.
How can he not be?
She has seen the face of God! 

To see God is to see beauty and reality and glory beyond anybody’s foolish notions.  There is no comparison. 

If we only keep this in mind, before our minds, we would see that good is beauty, and evil is ugly.
