"Are these men evil personified or victims of evil?"

Your question implies that I have said that some men are the personification of evil. I never said nor implied any such thing.
I am completely opposed to that concept. God made a decision that all me in their fallen state were worthy of his salvation if they accepted his plan. This is why He sent his Son Jesus to die for the sins of the whole world. Every man has been deemed worthy of his salvation if they accept God's plan in Jesus. It is only man himself that makes himself unworthy by rejecting God's offer.
The very dignity of man is based on this concept. It is not that man is not depraved or fallen, but the fact that God so loved him that he was willing to cleans him of his defects sending Jesus to die for him.


Any religon or philosophy that denies or attempts to frustrate God's plan of rescue for man, or any religion or philosophy that attempts to teach other men to deny and frustrate God's plan is evil. Islam and modern Judaism are the two most successful false religions because they have turned hundreds of millions of precisous men from God's plan of salvation. They are, consequently, very evil systems.

Men can never be the personification of evil, only its sad victims.

Man retains the dignity of the blurred image and likeness of God even outside of Christ. This is why God loves us while we are yet sinners, and that includes every Jewish and Moslem individual.
