Dear friends, We shouldn't be asking what is evil and what is going on about evil. We should be asking what is good. That is where people differ on this forum. Some say "Only my personal private interpretation of Scripture is good, and I've got sola Scriptura and sola fide (and, of course, Martin Luther), to back me up." There is evil in every human soul, and you won't automatically become sinless just because you join any church. Life is a constant struggle against sin, and Christ can help a Christian to win over sin and over evil, over the evil one. It all depends upon Christ's /God's mercy and grace and love.
God bless you all. In Erie PA Scott R. Harrington
PS Is sola Scriptura evil? Is private interpretation of the Bible evil?
Are these questions, "Is _____ evil"? Evil questions? Why ask such pointless questions.
Why not ask:
breaking any of the 10 commandments, are those 10 evil sins?
Why not start there instead?
