Dear resurrection33,
Great question!
I actually had to look up the word "benevolent" in the dictionary. Here's what I came up with. "Intending or showing goodwill, kindly, friendly,...". And, "Doing good or giving aid to others, rather than making profit, charitable,..."
I won't insult your intelligence by quoting a bunch of Bible verses. I think the answer to your question is a resounding "YES"!
Thanks for the thought-provoking item.

I think sometimes we Christians forget the commandments.

Hi resurrection33,
I too looked it up in the dictionary which did not fully satisfy my doubts. When one washes all the difficulty out of scripture one is left with love. This word in itself has less impact than it should. In a nut shell, we are called to love one another. Very simple. To be benevolent, difficult as Jesus said do not do your good deeds for people to see, for they have their reward. (people's praise) Do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.
Therefore if I were to use the term benevolence, then I would have to add , in secret.
