Robert, Yes, there is potential to do great harm in the will and heart of people. There is also the potential to love deeply and greatly. To love unconditionally. Could a soul that is deemed to be unworthy by God, that is sinful and evil, love unconditionally? I have heard Christians say many times that the greatest love possible is to give your life for another. Many people including but not limited to, Christians and non-Christians, men and women, young and old, black and white, have freely given their lives for another out of love. If man is capable of achieving this "greatest love possible", how can he be essentially evil and sinful? Mark

<< The natural mind of an unbeliever cannot understand spiritual things, hence the Word of God seems full of errors and inconsistencies. >> My God doesn't seem full of errors and inconsistencies. His plan is perfect. A person of my beliefs sees the bible as fiction, but still understands spiritual things. I don't fault you for your choice of gods, and you will probably not be eternally punished for being wrong. << Within the heart of man there is the potential and capacity to commit the most heinious of crimes......................that includes you and I and all mankind. >> This is absolutely wrong. There are those that are only predesposed, at birth, to do acts of good, and would rather die than to harm someone else. My, but you have a negative, black image of all mankind. I hope that this doesn't influence your treatment of other people, all of which you consider having evil potential.
