Here’s an interesting…. Quandary





In Isaiah 45:7 we read:

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

Then there’s a footnote on evil, in LDS scripture, to the following scriptures:

Amos 3:6
Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it?

Alma 5:40
For I say unto you that whatsoever is good cometh from God, and whatsoever is evil cometh from the devil.

Moroni 7:12
Wherefore, all things which are good cometh of God; and that which is evil cometh of the devil; for the devil is an enemy unto God, and fighteth against him continually, and inviteth and enticeth to sin, and to do that which is evil continually.

Obviously one would need to read these in context right? Because the way they’re laid out here seems to state the Lord created evil. But then it states that evil is from the devil. The Lord cannot be the devil right? (I sure hope He wouldn’t be!) Either way, it is an interesting thing.

I mean, God did create Lucifer aka Satan, but it was Satan who chose to have agency to disobey God and lead 1/3rd of the hosts of heaven down to hell as it were. So in effect, God didn’t create evil? He allowed it to grow and flourish...until a time when it will be stopped. Someday right?

Didn't Sleep

 What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened. It doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, it's the weekend. So, I can catch up on sleep tonight. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to actually sleep for once. Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

Ever Wonder

 Ever just sit and wonder about the things to wonder about? There are so many things that you can enjoy and think about or wonder about. It's just possible that you would be able to do such a thing. I'm not certain how it would go for you, as I am only a person. I don't know how you feel. So here we are, just waiting for something amazing to happen. It doesn't happen all the time unfortunately. It can be annoying at best.
