Something to contemplate:
Cold is simply a
word that describes the absence of heat—just like darkness is a word that describes the absence of light and evil
is simply a word that describes the absence of God—who is always good.
God did
not create evil. Evil does not exist as a “thing”—meaning it does not exist unto
itself. Evil is the absence of God; it is what happens when man does not have
God’s love present in his heart. Like darkness and cold, it is a word that man
has created to describe the absence of something; it is like the “cold” that
comes when there is no heat or the “darkness” that comes when there is no
light.
