Is evil fought only by another kind of evil?

Jesus taught us to" resist not evil" and what he was implying is that evil needs a reaction to exist.

Not resisting evil is not as some would think cowardly.In fact paradoxically it is actually brave.

Politicians throughout the last 100 years have been responsible for implementing systems where evil flourished.They still do.Look around you at the world.If people acted as Jesus taught and stood firm by not resisting evil than how would they be able to wage wars and carry out their materialist slavery that ties us to impermanent things and creates exploitation and misery for others.

I'm not going to go off to your war and kill or be killed for that is evil and if I go I'm resisting it.

I'm not going to believe anymore in your systems of control which call you government if I do I am resisting it. Can you see the distinction?

Those that resist evil are actually creating more evil.

If people did nothing in the face of evil what then could evil do....Kill everyone!

I know that what I am imagining is impossible for the world.There are many people who are unconsciously taking part right now in the banality of evil.

Are they evil?

I cannot judge the person but their actions judge them.

Once you know that there is infinite possibilities beyond your idea of who you are and where your going then evil can only be defeated once and by not resisting it you lose death here for life there.

I know that it may appear back to front, upside down and inside out however if you see it for the truth of what it is...is your spirit worth the cost!

The forces of Light and Dark are at work to extinguish the other. Each considers the other "evil" solely for existing. Neither forces are good nor evil...

Fight evil with good.

I never heard that quote before, I don't think I agree with it but I would be curious where it comes from so I can read it in context.

Darkness cannot over take Darkness. If Satan fights against Satan his house will not stand.

God who is good, fights evil.

Yes, that's why as the saying goes you reap what you sew..

"A House divided against itself cannot stand." --Jesus the Nazarene, I believe.
