In the strange esoteric world of quantum physics when two quantum objects become entangled the objects can spin in opposite directions at the same time. Yes. I know that is quite impossible in our three dimensional world. Minds brighter than mine (not yours) call this “superposition.” My mind wants a bit more understandable information. However, I can grasp this dichotomy if I relate it to us.
There has been a debate seemingly as long as there have been people about our nature. Are we naturally good or are we naturally evil? The answer seems to be “Yes.” It all depends which moment of our lives we are looking at. Even the most evil of people actually have good moments. And the best of us have horrible moments and we do things we rue. It is one of the reasons it is important to look at the totality of a life and put things into context. It is amusing to see political advertisements on TV that take a five second excerpt from one of an opponent’s speeches and use it to make the person say just the opposite of what was said in the entire speech. Satan can make a legitimate case against us by compiling selected events. We call it cherry picking. Actually we should call it prune picking
We are walking Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hydes. In Romans 7 Paul speaks of his personal struggle. “In my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me.”
How thankful we are that Paul continues on, “Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!” Ah – the Good News.
