Emily's+Ramblings


 * Question: Is people's concept of evil is universal?**


 * I am** a Christian looking to live every day for Christ and Christ alone.
 * I am** accepted not because of who I am or what I've done but on the basis of grace alone.
 * I am** defined by Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through him who gives me strength."

Relation to my Question: I believe that Christ came to earth as a man and died so people could be free from their sin. Sin is the evil in the world today and is found in every culture. Though it might be manifested in different ways, it is always there.

Final Draft: Just as every cop is a criminal
 * I see the world, Lucius Hunt, just not as you see it.**

And all the sinners saints As heads is tails Almost all disharmony among societies can be traced back to contrasting views of evil. You must understand, sir, that a person is either with this court or he must be counted against it, there be no road between. This is a sharp time, now, a precise time— we live no longer in the dusky afternoon when evil mixed itself with good and befuddled the world. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods, nor make unto thee any graven image. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in vain; thou shalt not have no other gods before me. Thou shalt remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy. Thou shalt honor thy father and mother. Thou shalt not bear false witness. Most likely I willl go to hell and most likely I deserve to be there. We have been a race of honest men and good Christians since the days of the martyrs; And our best virtue has for its occasion a superfluous and evitable wretchedness Wickedness or not,' said the traveler with the twisted staff, `I have a very general acquaintance here in New England. The deacons of many a church have drunk the communion wine with me; the selectmen of divers towns make me their chairman; and a majority of the Great and General Court are firm supporters of my interest.

We're colored* people, and we live in a tainted place We're colored* people, and they call us the human race We've got a history so full of mistakes Thus from beneath the black veil, there rolled a cloud into the sunshine, an ambiguity of sin or sorrow. Truth can stand alone .whether it is of the devil or of God. I know not whether laws be right, Or whether laws be wrong; All that we know who lies in goal Is that the wall is strong; it was awful living in that hell full of angels Evil is obvious only in retrospect. (Gloria Steinen)
 * I see the world, Lucius Hunt, just not as you see it.**
