Oh, what we are capable of being and doing. God boldly gave us free will which allows us to make choices between good or evil everyday, even as much as every moment. When we choose evil, our mind is capable of doing all that the enemy is capable of. When we choose good, we are capable of everything God is. Which makes us, overall, much more powerful in good choices than in bad. Because even the enemy is not greater than God. And it is God who lives in us.
But if it is the mind of God that lives in us, how is it capable of the act of evil? Afterall, God is all goodness, mercy, kindness, justice. He is love. There is no evil in God or in the mind of God.
So though we may be created in His image, and therefore have the capacity to do and be all that He is, do we truly have His mind as well? If yes, then again I ask, how can we choose evil? Does being created in His image mean we are Him or we are like Him? All that being said, and with the belief that God is in all His creation, and that God is in even the smallest particle breakdown of energy, where does the mind of God end and the mind of man begin? Or does it?

We are the mind of God manifested. We have an ego. The ego has the capacity for evil, or "that which does not choose goodness". However, the ego can be seen as something good, as it shows us what we don't want to be. In order to appreciate who we are, we must experience who we are not. Simmie
hmmm...who has a comment about Simmie's comment?
