appearance of evil to me doesn't mean if a person is clean and neat they good, a person is dirty is bad, I had a bishop that fixed cars u could see him when working and you would still see a good person even though some would think he was some kind of a bum ..
, sometimes we tend to see appearance of good and is something bad, u know looking at all the neon in a bar might look cool but its hiding something bad,.not that I think all the people that go to a bar is bad ppl, I had gone with the intention of not drinking.. to my shame I ended up drinking, I thought that going into a bar didnt mean that I have to drink, I said ok, Im going and ask for a lemonade, that's a little naive... If we know what is a bar for why go there if there are plenty of places that wont put tempetetion in your face... anyways I learned something in this experience and that was the first and last time I did such a thing..
we have to be alert to recognise evil form good, I think is hardest, we are not suppose to judge people, for LDS its so important to have the influence of the Holy ghost to dicern evil n good, this is the reason we dont drink alcohol , if we do we live the consquences and wont have the influence and company of the Holy Ghost..
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
