A necessary evil?
Is destruction of old necessary?
Is an adversary necessary?
Does every story need a problem?
I despise this enemy/satan a little less when I think of him simply as a tool in Creators tool box to help move the story and result of Good in a forward direction.
When I work out, should I despise the weights as evil although they work against me?
Romans 8:28
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
Let us then have a purpose in common.
The purpose of a nation full of Good men who are for doing Good one unto another.
Against the cause of doing Good, there can be no resistance.
Where one builds a fence, let another build a place where like minded men and women can live and work towards a mutual harmony.
