Jesus on Dualism

[Fool]

does dualism ultimately fail based on jesus' statement that "And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand." given the body is the temple of the holy spirit?


Mark 3:25 and 1 Corinthians 3:16


James
4 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?



Hey, are you awake?
Yeah, I'm right here
Well can I ask you
About today?
How close am I
To losing you?
How close am I
To losing? - About today - the National

 

[Pancho Frijoles]

Perhaps at one level, dualism means the conflict between good and evil, as taught by Zoroastrianism and the Abrahamic faiths.
At another deeper level, evil does not exist as such, and it is all about the development or "evolution" of the good.
Such development would imply overcoming obstacles or hitting painful milestones, that we perceive as "evil".

you're such a hot temptation................


if unconditional love thrives can we miss the mark? sin?

Yes.
I believe that, to develop unconditional love, we must experience all what is not love, to tell the difference.
I'm not saying we have to deliberately choose hate or fear or indifference. When I say "we must" I mean that it is in God's plan that we learn from those experiences.
It's like a little child learning to walk. He must try, stagger and tumble, and get back on her feet again. It is not that the child chooses deliberately to fall. It is just that he will fall as part of the development plan.

but the way is neither to the left or the right because the law is to love unconditionally.
