RIGHT WHEN—RIGHT THEN

PAUL STARK SEELEY

Because God eternally is infinite good, there has never been an instant when any phase of evil has been able to get a foothold within this infinity. The forever universality of God's kingdom, wherein all manifestations of God safely dwell, is uninvadable. Evil, ever suppositional and false, has no capacity to relate itself to God or to aught that is of and in Him. Evil's every thought, condition, or sense of selfhood remains forever outside God's allness—in falsity's nothingness.

In these simple verities are the answers to the many-faced lies of evil which so persistently suggest that somehow it has, in the past, broken through the gate to God's infinity and found a toe hold there. From such a suppositional beginning, it argues it has built a formidable case against one's life with which now to harass one.

But evil, the lying material mind, can do nothing but lie. It knows no truth to tell. When it repetitiously says that in the past it has caused, embodied, and adversely affected what it terms our material history, its every statement is a falsity. There is not a scintilla of evidence to support its claim, save its own never-to-be-believed material sense testimony. Lying evil tells its lies to its own suppositional states of thought and blindly believes it has proved its case when it says its lie is true.
