How do you judge between good and evil?

[Caveat Lector]

Specifically... how do you know the difference between what you consider to be 'good' and what you consider to be 'bad'.

Is it a feeling?

If your personal experience says that 'good' is something different than your neighbour perceives as 'good', isn't it a recipe for conflict?

(This was a question asked in a book called 'The Shack'.)

 

[CARLA T]

We need God to give us His Holy Spirit to help us and reading our bible.
I Cor. 2:14 14The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1 John 4:1
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

 

[my opinion]

Good is actions and coincidences that cause happiness.

Evil is actions and coincidences that cause misery.

 

[brandon]

Its called conviction and it only comes from God.

 

[Your Momma]

It's an understanding of consequences and affects.
How will one's actions consequently affect themselves and others.
