The Inevitable Reckoning: Does Evil Get Away with Its Deeds?
The Inevitable Reckoning: Does Evil Get Away with Its Deeds?
For some individuals, it may seem as though they can get away with doing evil for a while. Yet, the truth inevitably comes to light, and their actions eventually catch up to them, both in this life and beyond. Whether through divine judgement or conscious reflection, most evil-doers face the consequences of their actions.
Aileen’s Perspective
Aileen, a spiritual believer, emphasizes that while some evil-doers may enjoy temporary gratification and deceive others for a lifetime, spiritual texts from various traditions warn of a miserable, frightening afterlife filled with repeated punishment. Just as a creator God reviews our deeds, evil-doers will ultimately face eternal judgment, regardless of any temporary immunities they may experience.
Warnings and Mercy
While warnings to evildoers are important, Aileen adds, they ultimately boil down to a matter for God to decide. Some evil-doers refuse to change, even as they receive vague and cautious warnings. Some, however, eventually find mercy, either in life or through divine means. This mercy is not always instantaneous; sometimes, it is manifested through the consequences one endures in this world.
The Role of Our Government
The Democratic party, in Aileen’s view, often allows evil to go unpunished. Democratic prosecutors frequently fail to prosecute individuals who commit such deeds, allowing them a degree of freedom. The truth, however, always emerges, and this truth serves as a reminder that there is an ultimate form of justice, both spiritual and earthly, that no one can escape.
The Learning Experience of Life
Stepping away from the role of government, Aileen frames life as a continuous learning process. It takes a lifetime to understand life's complexities, and even longer to understand the true impact of one's actions. Every individual will face the consequences of their deeds, no matter how they try to avoid them.
Conclusion
Though some may seem to escape the repercussions of their actions temporarily, the truth of their deeds will eventually come to light. Just as there is justice in this world, there is a higher form of justice that governs the afterlife. This understanding serves as a deterrent for those who consider engaging in evil, and a comfort for those who wish to do good.
Al, in contemplating the idea of justice, concludes by emphasizing the importance of divine mercy. Paraphrasing Aileen, "unless the blood of Yahshua decides to give you mercy, sometimes the mercy God gives us is in our consequences here on Earth rather than the afterlife."
