Have Perfect CLARITY on God and Life through correct translation of 1 John 5:19

Most ancient translations and few modern translation rendered correctly 1 John 5:19 as follows: “We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in evil (ponērō)” [instead of evil one, devil etc] (biblehub com/1_john/5-19.htm)

This Greek adjective ponērō was used by Jesus to mean act or word done “more or less than what is needed” in Mathew 5:37. (Details HERE) He also used this adjective to describe materialistic eye that is distracted on to many things in Mathew 6:23, and to describe false prophets and non-eatable fruits produced by some trees in Mathew 7:17. What is common between all these uses by Jesus is that ponērō means effort or place where things do not reach their fruition. This is in contrast to those who belong to God by doing His Will and Laws that are designed to result in “never-ending waves of peace, well-being and good health.”  (Mathew 11:28-30, Isaiah 48:18 and Proverbs 17:22)

In view of what God, Jesus and prophets understood, 1 John 5:19 conveys this simple truth: ‘Non-licentious minority experience endless waves of peace, well-being and are cheerful unlike the licentious majority who find themselves weighed down as they seek desires that are insatiable.’ Such licentious people worship EGO without knowing it is a heavy burden. (Picturization HERE) Thus correct understanding makes living light, soft and sweet.

But when it was wrongly translated as this “We are certain we come from God and the rest of the world is under the power of the devil.” (Contemporary English Version and other modern translations), it veiled God as a wicked father who keeps a biting dog in the family and enjoys the suffering of His children. For this purpose pro-suffering people produced book of Job which presents a sadist God who, in collaboration with devil, enjoys causing suffering on innocent people.

Internal evidence shows Book of Job is reworked later because it is simply a debate of four friends on question of suffering which they try to prove as effect of evil choices made in the past. (Job 4:8; 22:5-11) James who had over 30 years of intimate association with Jesus testifies that God has not tested anybody in all history as HE is the source of all good things. (James 1:13-17) James knew this truth from Jesus who knew truth about Global Events of our generation ((Details HERE) and even beyond. (Details HERE)

Obviously, Satan was introduced by people who want to shift their responsibility to someone else, just like materialist theories shift responsibility of our choices on to gene, environment etc. Thus Satan was accepted by the licentious people but was rejected by wheat-like people who still manifest God’s image in which mankind was originally made.

Thus history is filled with two types of people:

Those who chose to be DIVINE in varying degrees, and
Those who chose to be WICKED in varying degrees, why because

The former looked WITHIN and saw the good qualities that flow from Inner Self
The latter listened to the lie of others that we are this body. (Details HERE)

Last Generation (1917-2036) is marked as special (esv.org/verses/Isaiah+2:2-4) as many would choose to return to their divinity as they see fulfillment of God’s predictions made for this period. (Details HERE)

God is in total DISPASSION
with regard to what choice people make because

it is people who benefit from INCOMING PARADISE or lose out, hence His eternal and stoic stance is:
“Let the unholy grow in unholiness, let the holy grow in holiness.” (Details HERE)
