How Jesus used the words "good" and "evil" may help clear things up?You're confused about what I said.
No, you still don't get it. You're trying to force a translation made hundreds of years ago, to fit modern definitions of words. And as you just learned, "evil" had a different meaning then.
In Old English and other older Germanic languages other than Scandinavian, "this word is the most comprehensive adjectival expression of disapproval, dislike or disparagement" [OED]. Evil was the word the Anglo-Saxons used where we would use bad, cruel, unskillful, defective (adj.), or harm (n.), crime, misfortune, disease (n.). In Middle English, bad took the wider range of senses and evil began to focus on moral badness. Both words have good as their opposite. Evil-favored (1520s) meant "ugly." Evilchild is attested as an English surname from 13c.
The adverb is Old English yfele, originally of words or speech. Also as a noun in Old English, "what is bad; sin, wickedness; anything that causes injury, morally or physically." Especially of a malady or disease from c. 1200. The meaning "extreme moral wickedness" was one of the senses of the Old English noun, but it did not become established as the main sense of the modern word until 18c. As a noun, Middle English also had evilty. Related: Evilly. Evil eye (Latin oculus malus) was Old English eage yfel. The jocular notion of an evil twin as an excuse for regrettable deeds is by 1986, American English, from an old motif in mythology.
evil (n.)
"anything that causes injury, anything that harms or is likely to harm; a malady or disease; conduct contrary to standards of morals or righteousness," Old English yfel (see evil (adj.)).

How Jesus used the words "good" and "evil" may help clear things up?
Matthew 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
I thought too Cuomo and Trump were both too eager to make things political. Cuomo endeared himself to people on the left and Trump to people on the right. Neither impressed me. Mayor de Blasio also struck me as blundering. When New York found themselves short on ventilators, they whined about it to Washington -- and tried to shift all the blame onto Trump who whined and blamed them.
Consider New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who the media and many in the public view as a great hero. According to left-leaning The Nation, before COVID-19 nailed his state, Mr. Cuomo was busy shutting down hospitals and slashing Medicaid payments. The publication concluded that "Cuomo helped get New York into this mess."
Coronavirus Is Making Us All Stupid
As usual you misrepresent the facts. Percentages can be misleading. A 40% increase of 1 is still less than one. A 1000% increase of 1 is 10. No one said they are immune. They are less likely to contract the virus and less likely to have serious complications. Certainly there are going to be exceptions and black children being more susceptible was already theorized for various reasons.Coronavirus cases among U.S. children jumped 40% in late July
Coronavirus infections among U.S. children grew 40% in the last half of July, according to a report from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children’s Hospital Assn., bringing the total number of child infections to 8.8% of all U.S. cases.
The report, which aggregates data from 49 states, comes amid heated debate over whether schools should reopen in the fall. Although the surge of infections contradicts President Trump’s assertion that kids are “virtually immune,” the data also show that child infections make up a disproportionately small share of the overall outbreak in the U.S.
Many parents are eager to get their kids back in classes. Yet the coronavirus is still surging in much of the country, and there is conflicting data about how it is transmitted to and from children. Some schools that have already resumed classes have experienced outbreaks amid scenes of kids crowded together without wearing masks, raising fears that a full nationwide reopening in September will cause a new spike of infection.
Coronavirus cases among U.S. children jumped 40% in late July
So about 22.4 percent of people in the United States are U-18. Which means that children are only about 40% as likely to be infected by the virus as the average American.
That doesn't sound very safe to me.
You go, girl!@Yehren....
You are so misinformed....
That's okay, at least the forum has come to discover you are not a credible source to rely on for accurate info.....Have a Blessed Day...and Trump is still the President!
Georgians have been eating too many peanuts. Anyone who trusts Fauci is just plain nutty.Coronavirus cases lead over 800 to quarantine in Georgia school district where masks not required
Cherokee County School District drew attention last week when students without masks posed for a group photo.
Coronavirus cases lead over 800 to quarantine in Georgia school district where masks not required
A new poll in the traditionally red state of Georgia reveals some shifting attitudes over the COVID-19 pandemic. Among the surprising revelations: more Georgians (46%) trust Dr. Anthony Fauci to handle the coronavirus crisis over President Donald Trump (29%).
An exclusive opinion poll, conducted Aug. 6-8 for WXIA-TV in Atlanta by SurveyUSA, revealed that instead of the COVID-19 crisis uniting Georgians, the pandemic is only widened existing political fractures along party lines and making a united political response to curb the pandemic next to impossible.
"I think that is hampering us," said former Republican state representative Buzz Brockway. "A crisis should be something that brings us all together. But it’s not. It’s forcing us into some of our camps."
Among the major areas of agreement among Georgians:
*Thirty-seven percent of respondents believe the U.S. has done a poor job at controlling the spread of COVID-19. This percentage is more than three time higher than the number of those saying the country is doing an excellent job (9%). Twenty-eight percent rated the U.S. as fair and 23% as good.
* More Georgians (46%) trust Dr. Fauci to handle the coronavirus crisis compared to 29% who favored Trump. Twenty-five percent weren't sure.

Okay, I've had enough of your name-calling. I sent an alert to moderators since I think you're over the top. What they do is their affair; but I'll be putting you on ignore for a while.Can you say fear mongering and communist sympathizer….it is easy….democrat.
What I don't understand is why more school districts haven't been flexible in their approach. The situation in Georgia strikes me as politicized with some people wanting to do Trump's bidding too much. I get it -- I understand that many families face additional problems if their children can't go to school. Someone may have to stay home from work to be with them. That could mean a loss of income. Yes, I get that. I also get how parents decide they'd rather have their children at home even if it means losing some income.Coronavirus cases lead over 800 to quarantine in Georgia school district where masks not required

Why was the school district annoyed when a girl took the photo and put it on the internet? First they suspended her. Then they realized that made them look even worse and they lifted the suspension; but why were they so annoyed with her to begin with?
