54:0.1 [[Evolutionary]] [[man]] finds it [[difficult]] fully to [[comprehend]] the significance and to grasp the [[meanings]] of [[evil]], error, [[sin]], and [[iniquity]]. Man is slow to [[perceive]] that [[contrastive]] [[perfection]] and imperfection produce [[potential]] [[evil]]; that [[conflicting]] [[truth]] and [[falsehood]] [[create]] [[confusing]] [[error]]; that the [[divine]] [[endowment]] of [[freewill]] [[choice]] [[eventuates]] in the [[divergent]] realms of [[sin]] and [[righteousness]]; that the [[persistent]] pursuit of [[divinity]] leads to the kingdom of [[God]] as [[contrasted]] with its continuous rejection, which leads to the [[domains]] of [[iniquity]].
54:0.2 [[The Gods]] neither [[create]] [[evil]] nor permit [[sin]] and [[rebellion]]. [[Potential]] [[evil]] is [[time]]-[[existent]] in a [[universe]] [[embracing]] [[differential]] [[levels]] of [[perfection]] [[meanings]] and [[values]]. [[Sin]] is [[potential]] in all realms where imperfect [[beings]] are [[endowed]] with the [[ability]] to [[choose]] between [[good]] and [[evil]]. The very [[conflicting]] [[presence]] of [[truth]] and untruth, [[fact]] and [[falsehood]], [[constitutes]] the [[potentiality]] of [[error]]. The [[deliberate]] [[choice]] of [[evil]] constitutes [[sin]]; the willful rejection of [[truth]] is [[error]]; the [[persistent]] pursuit of [[sin]] and error is [[iniquity]].
