Evil Done Well

“Evil is never done so thoroughly or so well as when it is
done with a good conscience.”

Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)


The Last Days

 

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.
People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful,
proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal,
not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of
pleasure rather than lovers of God—

having a form of godliness but
denying its power. Have nothing to do with such them.

2 Timothy 3:1-5

In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus
will be persecuted,

while evil men and impostors will go from bad
to worse, deceiving and being deceived.

2 Timothy 3:12,13


Banality/Evil

 “The more superficial someone is,

the more likely he will be to yield to evil.

That is the Banality of Evil.”

– Hannah Arendt (1906-1975)


Little Ones

 

“And if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin,

 

 it would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with
a large millstone tied around his neck.”
Mark 9:42

 

“But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believes
in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone
hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.”
Matthew 18:6

Jesus said to his disciples: “Things that cause people
to sin are bound to come, but woe to that person through
whom they come. It would be better for him to be thrown
into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than
for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.
So watch yourselves.

Luke 17:1-3

 

 

 

 

 


Light

This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness
instead of light because their deeds were evil.

Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light
for fear that their deeds will be exposed.
John 3:19,20
