Can they be closed! Is there any mention of a pandora's box in the scriptures?

To close one, we must know what opened it, and do away with the thing that opened it, or it will remain!

There is a pandoras box present on this earth. It is called evil. It was opened with a lie!

Personally, I consider lying to be part of "evil". Which gets kind of paradoxical. How could evil let itself into the world? Another issue: Is there is difference between a lie that is intended to deceive, and a lie that is based on a misunderstanding? That is, if one is confused about something and passes on false information, but honestly believes it is true, does that have any bearing on "evil"? If so, why? If not, why not? Just tryin' to undertsand the whole picture.

Yes, even though there would be no culpability with our Creator if we truly believed what we did or said was correct, it would still have the ability to prolificate evil! Understand though, that not all that happens is acted on! hope that helps!
