Brief Summary; We studied the word evil to see if the Scriptures would reveal to us the identity of evil. We found that evil comes in many forms, even forms that have every appearance of being good. When any thing has an evil intention it is when it becomes evil. If a gift is given to bribe or sway a decision, it becomes evil. When we give a gift for others to praise us instead of God it becomes with evil intention. We discover that evil does not have a face where we could identify it at all times, and could very well be mistaken for someone blessing us. And it takes the knowledge of the Scriptures to see if evil is present. We also found that if we are willing to give evil or act evil, it leaves the door open for it to return to us.
