Are you Evil? We all are and are in dire need of the Lord, are you willing to do what He says or do you claim an unearned free pass? Alot of people claim what is not offered by perverting the offer to suit their desires.

Think about it.

Yes, I am evil, however Gods love is so great that he will eventually burn it out of me. And he will you too. That is what his love will do for everyone.

No I am not evil, nor was I born evil, nor was I born tainted...... G-d brings out the best in me and I strive to be all I can be and you don't need to be a Christian to walk in the path of G-d......

He's done a remarkable job on me already, but that evil self is still there and I know he's not something I can defeat on my own.

No, but it sounds like anyone that would believe they were evil based on the superstition of a god really needs to rethink their beliefs. How self deprecating.

I don't believe I'm evil. That word is way too strong, but I do sin sometimes. Yesterday I got a speeding ticket and this morning I shared some gossip, but I don't think that means I'm evil.

And, the bible doesn't tell us we have to earn a pass or accept an offer.

It says you have to accept God's free offer of Salvation through the Christ.

If you're human, you've inherited a nature that is opposed to Christ, and whose righteousness (the best you have) is as a used menstrual cloth. As we are, there is no way to change the flesh - we can't disguise it, dress it up, or teach it to sit up or roll over. It can only be put to death if it is to make room for His life.

Christians look for some way to serve Him, to have a life or profession that will serve the Kingdom - but before all of that, Jesus told us that if any man would follow Him, they must take up their cross.

Why? What is a cross - an ornament to wear around our neck, or display on a wall?

No, the cross is meant for one purpose: a humiliating death for the Adamic nature. Don't like the word "humiliating"? How about humility - you know, the fruit of the Spirit? From the Latin humilitās, where we also get "humble". This is the only way to be conformed into His image.

Jesus gave me his eyes and his ears and as the result , I have found that behind the veil in the spirit is the cry of the nations of the earth ..... And Jesus said in Luke 23: 34......``Father forgive them ; for they know not what they do``.......... See the dark evil spirit of this world is like the marionette monster that can manipulate evil on man .....
