Goodness , beauty and truth can only remain if untouched by their opposites. An example , truth is only true if everything is true. In Gods truth, no lie is of the truth. If there are 10 things 9 are true but one is not then all 10 are not. The one untrue would cause the other 9 to alter to accommodate the one.
In a sense, yes. But in a mathematical/scientific sense there is such thing as degrees of error, in arithmetic 1+1=2, 1 and 3 are as wrong as each other, 0 and 4, -1 and 5, getting
more wrong each time.
God also grades on a scale,
46Your older sister was Samaria, who lived with her daughters to your north; and your younger sister was Sodom, who lived with her daughters to your south.
47And you not only walked in their ways and practiced their abominations, but soon you were more depraved than they were.
51Furthermore, Samaria did not commit half the sins you did. You have multiplied your abominations beyond theirs, and all the abominations you have committed have made your sisters appear righteous.
On top of this, you also indicated on a previous post that Israel will also have double portion.
Likewise, beauty also degrades, the more injury and insult the organism suffers.
Goodness, as well, degrades. A tire loses grip as it wears out.
God restores Shalom when he saves.
19 [†] For u in him all the v fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 [†] and w through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, x making peace y by the blood of his cross.
20 He was supreme in the beginning and—leading the resurrection parade—he is supreme in the end. From beginning to end he’s there, towering far above everything, everyone. So spacious is he, so expansive, that everything of God finds its proper place in him without crowding. Not only that, but all the broken and dislocated pieces of the universe—people and things, animals and atoms—get properly fixed and fit together in vibrant harmonies, all because of his death, his blood that poured down from the cross.
