"The Lord said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it."Job 2:2; So the book of Job tells us in pictorial terms that evil begs the question—it has no place of origin or belonging. Evil seems to be present only if we give it room in our thought.
But even when, as Christian Scientists, we know that evil is not real because God, good, is the only reality, we sometimes wonder how it got into our experience.
This nagged me for years, although I had proved beyond a shadow of doubt that seeing the unreality of evil destroys its supposed presence.
