God and the Devil?

Yeah, I often get all of my doctrinal theology from those clics forced upon me in high school. Beowulf, the Scarlett Letter, Where the Red Fern Grows, a Light in the Forest, To Kill a MockingBird, etc. Oh mah gosh, Jonathan Livingston Seagull. However, now that I've read the Bible...I understand that there is much more to the Word of God than any understanding that I could ever gleen from one of these books. Love is a choice...you cannot choose if you cannot know what to choose between from. In the beginning the choice was simply to obey one command given with a warning. Evil cannot be defeated until it has become to the fullest extent utterly evil. Evil is the absence of Good. As Evil increases...Good will decrease to point that all that is Good will be gleened and what is left will be destroyed. The choice is and has always been between life and death. Life is Good can comes from God. Death is evil and comes from Satan. Its all about choice. Choose life. Love in Christ, ~J~
