Think we need a little Goodness here this afternoon :~D Did God create evil? (all things were created by Him & without Him was not anything made that was made?) This will make you think for a while....... At a certain college, there was a professor with a reputation for being tough on Christians. At the first class every semester, he asked if anyone was a Christian whereupon he proceeded to degrade any poor soul that timidly answered 'Yes,' mocking his/her statement of faith. One semester, he asked the question and a young freshman raised his hand when asked if anyone was a Christian. The professor asked, 'Did God make everything, young man?' He replied, 'Yes sir He did!' The professor responded, 'If God made everything, then He made evil.' The student didn't have a response and the professor was happy to have once again proved the Christian faith to be a myth. Then another student raised his hand and asked, May I ask you something, sir?' 'Yes, you may,' responded the professor. The young man stood up and said 'Sir, is there such thing as cold?' 'Of course there is, what kind of question is that? Haven't you ever been cold?' However, to the professor's surprise, this young chap replied, 'Actually, sir, cold doesn't exist. What we consider to be cold, is really an absence of heat. Absolute zero is when there is absolutely no heat, but cold does not really exist. We have only created that term to describe how we feel when heat is not there.' Then the young fellow continued, 'Sir, is there such a thing as dark?' Once again, the professor responded 'Of course there is.' And once again, the young lad replied 'Actually, sir, darkness does not exist. Darkness is really only the absence of light. Darkness is only a term man developed to describe what happens when there is no light present.' The final question posed by our young friend went like this, 'Sir, is there such thing as evil?' The professor responded, 'Of course. We have rapes, and murders and violence everywhere in the world, those things are evil.' The student replied, 'Actually, sir, evil does not exist. Evil is simply the absence of Good. Evil is a term man developed to describe the absence of Good. God did not create evil. It isn't like truth, or love, which exist as virtues like heat or light. Evil is simply the state where God is not present, like cold without heat or darkness without light.' The professor had nothing to say............ Be full of Goodness today, there is no room for anything else. XXX Sioux

Title in blue perhaps - the healing colour...?

Blue for communication and healing Red for strength June.

Ooops I always link blue with healing....

hello my friend, i've missed you. Everybody needs a little help sometime No one stands alone Makes no difference if you're just a child like me Or a king upon a throne For there are no exceptions We all stand in the line Everybody needs a friend Let me tell you of mine ------- He's my forever friend My leave-me-never friend From darkest night to rainbow's end He's my forever friend ------- Even when I turn away He cares for me His love no one can shake Even as I walk away He's by my side With every breath I take And sometimes I forget Him My halo fails to shine Sometimes I'm not His friend But He is always mine If you still don't know the one I'm talking of I think it's time you knew Long ago and far away upon a cross My friend died for you So if you'd like to meet Him And don't know what to do Ask my friend into you heart And He'll be your friend too bryan.

I think we need some Purple for Dignity and some Green for some balance . June.

Colours are very subjective Sylv.... none are right or wrong. Blue is a very healing colour, along with Gold Violet & White. I find Green very calming. The association of Blue with communication and Red with Strength, Vitality & Grounding is connected to our energy centres or Chakras. So long as the intention is good any colour you're happy with works ((hugs)) ;~D XXX Sioux

Well said Sioux, wise words! Gwyn

Sioux i think you go with the colors you feel are right June.

Hi Brian *waves hello in return* Lovely verse. XXX Sioux

Hey Sioux, thank you for that - of course the colours are connected with the chakras. I understand now. Blue for me has always been connected with healing for myself... Sylvxx

Commiting the henious act of nudging my own thread back to the front page ....*gasp* In the vain attempt to dilute the repetitive sniping threads from dominating what can sometimes be quite a jolly space to surf. With hugs and smiles. :~D XXX Sioux
