As you may know, I don’t consider The Bible as anything other than mankind’s attempts to explain to himself and the origin of his existence…. as well as his relationship with his creator. The Bible assumes that God created the universe and everything in it.
Recently, I have figured out what the deal really is.
There are three different entities. God is the power in all that is spiritual or spiritual influence in terms of what is good. The will of God is that mankind be righteous or practice right ways.
The Devil is the force behind the spiritual also, but is evil. All of God is good. All of The Devil is evil. I am thinking the spiritual world is a combination of good and evil as well. Good and evil interact in the spiritual world.. People, as they live…. are a combination of both in the spiritual realm, just as they are when living in the physical world.

There has to be a third entity which is independent and created the physical world which is neutral.. A man can be good or evil but a rock is neither. How is that for a trinity: good, evil and neutral – albeit independent to what is considered to be The Holy Trinity?

We have neither. Life is a bridge between the spiritual and physical realms. (not my conclusion – but a concept I have adopted as true.)

As I explain in the Fantasy Free Advantage, the way to come to a conclusion is to just ask what assumptions are being made as to what the inputs are. Then ask, “Would the inputs being assumed generate the outcome we are witnessing?” If the answer is no, then ask what inputs would generate the outcome we are explaining. There is a high probability of being right that way. Doing it the standard way guarantees a wrong answer. At least doing it the fantasy free way always generates an answer that is closer to being correct.

In politics, it is assumed that we have a freedom – loving population and genuine representation in  government. Outcomes throughout history don’t support that idea. So, I replace what is merely assumed to be true, with assumptions that would cause the outcomes we witness in the political world.  The same technique works in any area of thought, not just in economics and politics.

In The Bible, God commands actors like Jesus and Moses to make changes in the physical realm. That makes no sense – if God can  control the physical world.

In discussing God, the greatest wisdom I have is in knowing that there are no experts on God – or there not being a God. This includes the writers of ancient scriptures. What is belief, other than discovering what appears self evident? For me to base my beliefs on the words of another, like biblical authors, then it is not a belief at all, but just agreeing that what another has written is true. There is a difference.
