hell

Dave McDonald wrote this about hell.

Did God create Hell? If so, why did He create something from which we need saving?
The most accurate theological answer is that Hell is not necessarily a place that God created. It’s a place from which God has withdrawn. It’s the place where he is not, rather than the place where everything is as he wants it to be.
So, why did he need something from which we need saving? The question is maybe misplaced. The question is: Will you live with him? That’s the real question.

I love that quote. Hell is a place where God has withdrawn.

When Adam and Eve sinned they withdrew from God. God came "looking" for them. The knowledge of good and evil created a separation that God has been trying to fix since. I am still trying to work that idea out.

We often hear the story about the "fall" but I have never really pondered what took place. But what I gather is that Adam and Eve acquired knowledge and that knowledge broke us forever. Knowing good and evil created in me the ability to choose either and God has been wooing me in the midst of this war to choose Him just as He is choosing me.

What has knowing good and evil really cost me? What has knowing good and evil really cost God?
