Good and Evil. Two basic polarities. Would someone care to please define them, and the difference between them?

Very well put.....
No difference really, both exist in our own minds, one always has and always will give rise to the other. We see God as what our own predjudices find acceptable, and the Devil, as our own petty fears and insecurities.
Paul was an uptight, insecure little upstart wasn't he? I almost pity Jesus, having his religion undermined like that.....

logical:
Oh ok, that's right. Thanks for that clarification there logical.
Now, since Jesus was not good (even though he was sinless), does this mean that Adam & Eve were bad when created (before they ever sinned)?
If this is so, then were they punished for being the bad people they were created to be, or were they punished for becoming worse than they already were to begin with?
Fascinating. Looks like black and white thinking cannot even apply in the Bible. Interesting.
Either that, or maybe you and I are just taking Jesus' loyalty to his Father a little too literally. *shrug*

Good is when you think of others as well as your self. Evil is when your only thought is self at the expense of others. Anyway, how can you really believe their is 'no difference' between good and evil? There are certain actions that all cultures can agree are wrong, like the nazi death camps. To say good and evil are purely ingrained in us by our culture is quite a stretch.

P.S. their is probably a better def. for good and evil but this is a decent quick and dirty def.
