"Good" morning, "buntelfish81", your name seems to be interesting.
As for your question, I don't see one! As for you statement, "I believe that good can exist without bad, because" this is YOUR BELIEF and not fact, the statement you refer to is giving an example of the text (Bible) searching for balance. Just using your understanding of what the text is saying, in this time and in the world "Up can not exist without Down"(physics) I would like to say that human action was beyond physics in the area of "GOOD & BAD" but I don't see that in this world at this time. As you quoted, Ex 20:21 and~ he~ will~ STAND the~ PEOPLE from~ DISTANCE and~ "Mosheh PLUCKED-OUT" he~ did~ be~ DRAW-NEAR TO the~ THICK-DARKNESS WHICH THERE the~ "Elohiym POWER~s" So at that time must have existed "THICK-DARKNESS". Which still is with us Today. And your other references are from the Rev 22:5 giving a "FUTURE" event. However, I have a Question for you. Please define in a CONCRETE WAY "GOOD, BAD" Concrete meaning using the 5 human senses (Touch, Sight, Smell, Hear and Taste) Rich AHRC _______________________________________________________________ --- In [email protected], "buntelfish81" <buntelfis...@...> wrote: > > hallo ancient_hebrew's crew, good morning. > > I am sorry about my english, I am Indonesian. > > I have some questions... it is about your article about tov & ra' > http://www.ancient-hebrew.org/12_goodbad.html > > you wrote that: "Can good exist without the bad?
