"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.

The Jews who reject Jesus are stiffnecked and uncircumcised in their hearts and in their ears, they always resist the Holy Spirit just like their spiritual fathers who rejected God in the Old TEstament, they keep doing it today. Which one of the prophets did their spiritual fathers not persecute. They killed those prophets in the Old Testament that showed that Jesus the Just One was coming. Their spiritual children now betray Jesus and continue to agree with the spirit of those who murdered Jesus. You Jews have received the law from the Angels but have refused to keep it. When the Jews hear these words, I am sure they cut them to their heart, but rather than repent they rather gnash their teeth at whoever tells them these things. This was taken from acts chapter seven verses fifty one to fifty four. Do these words strike you as hateful? If they do, then take it up with the Holy Spirit. The truth of the Word of God sounds strange when spoken in context. This is for all of us and not directed at you. Tom!

Tom, I don't really know if you can accept this, but I don't give a darn about any more arguments/discussions/thought exchange concerning either homosexual activities, pro, con or indifferent, and to that I have recently added rehashing Hitler and WWII. I find these discussions are designed for one thing and one thing only--to create argument among people who really should be finding subjects of much more pressing concern. Imminently, crushingly of pressing concern. I can think of several thousand, and those are the one's I'm discussing, or,, thinking about. My views are really probably important only to Jesus Christ, since we do talk a lot I feel. Anyway, I feel like we are talking a lot. So, I have decided I no longer care to discuss the matters currently up for discussion here. I hope you can respect that.
