Sevgi və Şər arasındakı əlaqə
Another area in which we humans can be surprisingly naïve concerns the nature of the relationship between ‘good’ and ‘evil.’ In these chapters we explore the real nature and interrelationships of goodness, love, freedom, selfishness and corruption to help us grasp why these moral issues are of such huge consequence in the light of eternity.

- Allah niyə bu qədər sərtdir??
These days, so much is said about Jesus’ love and forgiveness that we often get the idea that He has a more liberal attitude towards sin than God had in the past. Amma, əslində, his standards are really much tougher.
If Jesus warns us of a possible fate worse than death, then we have to ask, “Why is God such a perfectionist?” Why couldn’t He just create a world in which we all love each other – or eliminate evil without eliminating those who caused it? Surely most people aren’t that bad? And couldn’t the really bad ones just be painlessly terminated? Has Jesus’ teaching been overstated, or have we seriously misunderstood the severity of the situation?
- Məcburi sevginin mümkünsüzlüyü
No English word has ever been more dangerously devalued than ‘love.’ There are many kinds of behaviour or feelings that we call ‘love’; and the Greek language uses several different words to distinguish them. But the true love that God desires is where people choose to put the needs of others before their own. Its ultimate enemy is not hatred: but self-centredness and indifference. Without this kind of love, heaven cannot be heaven.
But there are 2 major problems. How can it be enforced? Əgər icraçı varsa, how does he avoid acting out of self interest? And how can a person act out of love unless they are free to choose not to?
- Şərin qəddar spirali
Men have always longed for a truly just society. Hətta, despite incredible intellectual and technological advances, civilizations still rise only to crumble into chaos. And it’s the same in our own lives. Yəni əsas problem nədir? Self-centred evil, like a gravitational black hole, has a kind of attraction for us; beləliklə, az-az, we begin to tolerate and excuse it; and then defend it, söykənmək, “That’s just the way I am.”
Bir ağac böyüdükcə, onun budaqları bərkiyir; so it always carries the marks of its past. The same is true of us; we become what we choose. İsa daima dinləyicilərini seçim etməyə çağırırdı. By choosing our way instead of God’s, our natures become distorted. Evil’s corrosive influence makes us unfit for heaven, və bizim ən yaxşı səylərimiz bizi ondan qurtula bilməyəcək dərəcədə idarə edir.
Your own experience of the depths this can take you to may be more or less severe than mine. But we all face a death sentence from this spiritual killer disease. None of us reading this can claim that it has not been the product of our own choices. Və, in spite of any temporary self-improvement efforts we make, ultimately things will only get worse – unless God himself intervenes.
Can there be a point of no return? Ola bilsin: but one vital choice normally remains, for those who are willing …
