Re: Outdated customs -- Tithing

Have I misunderstood you? Do you have any INTENTION of CAUSING harm/evil? A person's actions might cause harm/evil without them having the intention. Another person might view the consequences of your actions as evil because it prevented them from working out their own schemes. If you intentionally cause harm while protecting yourself, your property or another person, you are just, not evil. When I say "EVIL", I am not talking about bad table manners, or violating a code of etiquette, dress code violation or anything that does not cause actual suffering or unjust harm, I am talking about crimes against humanity (society) and crimes against the humanity of an individual (dehumanizing/belittling them). If you do something carelessly, ONE of the RESULTS might be that evil happens, but if that was not your sole intention, it is only a consequence of being careless, it was SPECIFICALLY not your intention to cause harm/evil.

Spiritual guilt is determined by

1) INTENT (include intentional/irresponsible neglect)

That's pretty much it. Evil doesn't just happen (fallacy, blame it on the devil), it's CAUSED (not HAPPENED) by people. If you had the specific intention of causing evil, you wouldn't be at Curezone on any of the forums, you do not have a reprobate mind. Tragically, unbelievers and Christians alike have always learned very well from the institutions how to demean ("...insisting on self abasement...", Colossians 2:18) and persecute themselves. You DO NOT have a reprobate mind.
