Simple answer: you're actually stupid.
She has to realize that, though there is spiritual blindness that must be met with righteous love, there is also evil that DESIRES to commit evil.
**Simple answer: you’re actually stupid.**
She as a pagan. It is not until the scales fall off that you realize the magnitude of your own sin.
Agreed, but what I think she’s driving at is that your common abortion mill worker is more likely to be blind than intentionally evil, and therefore needs to be treated as a person who needs to be rescued into the light rather than as a monster to be put down.
Because Satan is the great deceiver and is quite capable of blinding the weak to the truth???
...and then again, sometimes it is just all about the tagline...
Romans 1:28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
...that too.
haha, Old Sarge, ditto.
I have concluded that the driving motivation of the sheeperal is self-righteousness.
They are convinced of their own goodness, and therefore, everything the do, believe and advocate for cannot, by definition, be evil.
I had an epiphany when I pointed out the evil consequences of liberal beliefs to a libinlaw - it was as if I’d physically slapped her.
Her self-righteousness quickly kicked in and she clung to the intentions of the policy as proof of her “goodness”.
CDC report confirms there has been a big drop in the number of abortions

“Are the people who work in these facilities absolutely evil? No. Why? Because they have the ability to change. They have the ability to receive the love and forgiveness of Christ. Abortion does not change. It is always killing a human being.”
The same could be said about others over the years. Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Pol Pot, Yassar Arafat, etc. etc. I guess Abby would also be a pacifist? That’s fine. I’m not.
Watched the movie, my daughter says the book is much better. I didn’t think the movie was bad.
We would do better to look into our own hearts and deal with our own sin before we condemn the sins of others.
But what about us who are believers and are aware of what we do and still do stupid things, I thank God that Jesus corrected Peter when Peter ask him if we were to forgive people seven times.
Seven times would not even be a start.
She didn’t want to think for herself; she wanted others to do her thinking for her. She also abdicated responsibility for her own direction in life. That always leads to evil.
1 Corinthians 5:9 I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. 11But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.12What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? 13God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you.”
