His books twist Scripture ... so why not simply give the Holy Spirit the credit due? Why give credit to a false prophet, RW? That's what I don't understand. RW isn't "saving" anyone through false teachings.

The "logic" is rife with portent for madness.

I am a firm believer in testing "logic" by running with it, and seeing where it takes us. So let's do that with this "logic", and see where we end up!

"Don't go saying mean things about Charlie Manson! He may not be perfect (who is?), but he's not completely bad either. One night my ex-sister inlaw's cousin's neighbor's uncle had a flat tire waaaaay out in the middle of nowhere, and he didn't have a jack!

"There were dogs barking in the distance, wolve's baying, and he thinks he saw a couple of UFOs in the sky too -- the bad kind of UFO. Anyway, there he was, his life at a point of utter hopelessness, and then along came Charlie Manson, who not only changed his tire for him, but also gave him a cup of coffee, and told him that he really should be more careful on dark lonely roads like that! Then, Charlie even invited him to come over to visit him at his home! (He had to decline, because he needed to go home and change his pants.)"

OK, that's fiction. This isn't: The "Son of Sam", after looking at a photo of my sister, and chatting with his co-workers (my former brother inlaw trained him on a complex piece of mail-handling machinery), took the time to advise the women on how NOT to wear their hair, how to dress, and so forth, reminding them that "The Son of Sam" might be more attracted to certain hairdos and clothes.

So, for all his evils, we can't deny that he did some good, can we? And it was a pretty selfless gesture on his part, wasn't it! (I mean, using the "logic" that is currently in vogue.)

A robot could be trained to do that. Warning others of what attracted HIM to certain women doesn't qualify him for sainthood. If he has repented as I hear he has, and become a Christian, then that's another issue. Last I heard Charles Manson hasn't done this.

So by your logic if Hitler helped laden down with groceries all his evil acts can be over looked because he performed a nice act? Geesh! More importantly did he ever repent? Accept Christ? THAT would get my attention.

Satan is a clever fellow. He makes sin look charming. So do sinners. Some sinners are worse than others and don't turn their lives over to Christ. I doubt that Christ will let them into heaven because they performed a few kind acts and failed to act on John 3:16.
