Evil—No Matter How Tragic And Terrible—Never Has The Last Word
Patriotandliberty ^ | 5/2/23 | Rev Franklin Graham

Posted on 05/07/2023 1:50:23 AM PDT by spirited irish

Though our so-called enlightened society would like to deny it, the evil intentions of a sinful heart and soul are responsible for wicked behavior. “From their callous hearts comes iniquity” (Psalm 73:7). Since the fall of mankind in the garden, sin has plagued the human race, every person of every generation. We are born separated and alienated from a holy God who hates every form of evil. We are sinners who have fallen far short of the glory of God.

Tick : You know, evil comes in many forms, be it a man-eating cow or Joseph Stalin. But you can’t let the package hide the pudding. Evil is just plain bad. You don’t cotton to it. You gotta smack it on the nose with the rolled up newspaper of goodness. Bad dog! Bad dog!

Note this statement in the article - “Police Chief John Drake said the shooter was under the care of a doctor for an “emotional disorder” perhaps related to the well-documented issues associated with “gender dysphoria.” Has anyone taken a good close look at the doctor’s bona fides and, if not, why not. Why does the head-shrink doctor only get a passing mention without anyone really examining who he/she is and whether they have a government (CIA) connection? It’s the minds of these shooters and those who influence their minds that need close examination.

"our so-called enlightened society"

...is nothing of the sort. "You will know them by their fruits", which is to say you will know good and evil by the results they leave. The world's moral system is a counterfeit of real Biblical morals that never result in anything good, just a lot of finger-pointing and endless class warfare. That's what the Left considers "good".

The problem with the leftist mindset is that in rejecting God and Scripture, they reject its indictment of mankind.

The left teaches the inherent goodness of mankind, that evil is learned/taught and the person wants to do right and good and will if given the opportunity.

Nothing could be further from the truth and they completely ignore the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

So true. Typically, they have no concept that human nature itself can be evil. And that being a good person often requires resisting your inherent genetic instincts.

Powerful Prayer Against Evil Enemies

Father I know that the real enemies that I face are spiritual principalities and powers and mighty spiritual wickedness in high places.. and I know that the people who rise up against me are simply the tools that are being used against me by these spiritual beings.. who seek to shipwreck my faith and cause me to lose heart and doubt Your Word, but in the mighty name of Jesus I pray that their strongholds may be smashed, and that I may be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might, as I face every enemy onslaught.

Thank You for the spiritual armour that is mine in Christ and I pray that every moment of the day I may be covered in His great protection that You have provided for all who have trusted in Christ as Saviour. Thank You for the breastplate of righteousness and the shoes of peace.. the helmet of salvation and the belt of truth. Thank You that in Christ I have all that I need to stand firm against the schemes of the devil and the forces of evil. Thank You for the shield of faith which is able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the enemy.. and how I praise You that my main weapon of attack is the Word of God, which stands fast for ever and ever.

In the name of Jesus may I stand firm through prayer and praise in the evil day and be alert with all perseverance - and having done all.. may I still stand firm in Christ – Who has won the victory over every spiritual force and every evil enemy. Thank You Father in Jesus name,

Amen

Well stated!
The concept of fallen man is alien to the left.
They can’t even get the baseline for why there is evil in the world - which means everything they say is wrong and built upon false facts.
