Journal #2 Entry #2

Posted on February 4, 2014 by ss160417

The dichotomies in Genesis are present from the beginning, and they show that everything has two parts. If there is darkness, then there must be light. There’s also the water, and the land, the heavens and the earth. When we get to the garden of Eden the difference between good and evil arises. Adam and Eve are perfectly innocent, and therefore good, while the serpent is wise and manipulative; their fore  the serpent is evil. The evil must be present in order for the good to exist. There would be no temptation for knowledge if the serpent hadn’t spoken of it.

    I like your interpretation of the necessity for evil in order for there to be good. I had not thought about the existence of the serpent in that respect before.

    I agree about “The evil must be present in order for the good to exist.” Without the evil, we can never tell what is the good. If bad things have never happened before, we will never cherish for the happiness from the good things.
