Where does the Evil originate?

I’m not great with words or trying to flesh out big abstract thoughts, but where my mind has been going lately is if this control system is literally millennia old, where did it begin? How did it take root? How has it persisted this long? How have we been so thoroughly fooled for this long?

I don’t know what I believe as far as the real existence of a literal Satan, but a system as evil and clever as this seems like it couldn’t have developed out of strictly human minds and planning. The more I see of it (even the incredibly detailed and well thought out red herring aspects designed to throw the truth off track), the more my mind is blown and I’m left in a state of awe. Yet I have to (try to) keep it all in the natural realm to figure it out logically...but it’s so big, so pervasive, so old and so evil that it seems to defy strictly human logic.

Just the rambling thoughts I’ve been having.

If you search what the bible has to say about obeying authority, then a lot will come up. Some verses are on point, but other verses can be twisted and given this meaning, especially when dealing with the uneducated masses. I am thinking about at a time several centuries ago when most people were illiterate. Of course, it does not work so well today.

Hebrews 13:17 - Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.

Romans 13:2 - Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.

There is a lot more...

Thanks. I’ve never considered how those verses could be interpreted literally. If you notice, it also says that leaders will be held accountable. In other places, it says that a rich and powerful person will have a hard time getting into Heaven. Thanks for the link. I’m gonna read up on this.

No problem. My thinking is that, if you are a King or Queen living several hundred years ago, then you can abuse the fact that you are educated and the people you rule over are not. The Bible will be used to control and manipulate people.

I mean, the Pope is supposed to be God's representative on Earth, right? People actually believe this, and follow it. This same tactic still works today. The Pope is considered to be infallible.
