Jesus said:
*“My brother, good and evil are merely words symbolizing relative levels of human comprehension of the observable universe. If you are ethically lazy and socially indifferent, you can take as your standard of good the current social usages. If you are spiritually indolent and morally unprogressive, you may take as your standards of good the religious practices and traditions of your contemporaries. But the soul that survives time and emerges into eternity must make a living and personal choice between good and evil. As they are determined by the true values of the spiritual standards established by the divine spirit that the Father in heaven has sent to dwell within the heart of man. This indwelling spirit is the standard of personality survival.

*"'''Goodness, like truth, is always relative and unfailingly evil-contrasted'''. It is the perception of these qualities of goodness and truth that enables the evolving souls of men to make those personal decisions of choice that are essential to eternal survival.
