What is "evil"?

[Chicken Little]

Evil to you or God?

Evil to you is everything you don't like or you don't think is fair and most of this is taught to you.
Evil to God is what puts you in bondage and everything you trust in that might own you at his coming.

 

[ananda]

I don't understand your way of thinking, why would God not have volition, mind, choice or will?

You can't make choices if you are outside of time and space. A choice involves a cause (past) and effect (future consequence of cause).

 

[Colter]

Clearly, because those involve a sequential process, which requires time.

It may seem that way from the vantage point of the finite mind but it's not. Eternity is not a long time, its the absence of time as time is a creation outside of the eternal I AM. It's a projection.

118:1.1 "It is helpful to man's cosmic orientation to attain all possible comprehension of Deity's relation to the cosmos. While absolute Deity is eternal in nature, the Gods are related to time as an experience in eternity. In the evolutionary universes eternity is temporal everlastingness—the everlasting now."​

Not true, the Absolute is everywhere and every-when, absent of the passing of any time as he is eternal. Everything is now for the uncaused absolute. The status of the will of the I AM is absolute.

Then would you agree that he has one fixed will and no ability to choose?

Will connotes choice. A fixed will is not Living. An Infinite deity is not a mere mathematical formula, he is the mind behind the creation of mind, but we have been discussing the time status of the infinite mind. The infinite mind would only be the fixed point relative to the experience of finite minds in time and space. We experience time consciousness for the simple fact that we are not God.
