To Paul Younan About Human Evil
#1
Since about 1971 when a Jewish friend shared the what Gospel REALLY MEANS with me, my life has had turns and places where I've had the distinct Blessing to be involved with with Jewish folks that believe that Jesus (Yeshua) is the Messiah.

It funny now, Vickie, my Jewish friend, was a friend of my high school girl friend. And she would not have even THOUGHT of herself being "a Hebrew Christian" (that was the terminology in those days of old) AT ALL! Or "a Messianic Jew" (that term had NOT even been invented yet) either!

But we got off on the subject of Messiah by talking about Hal Lindsey's books, and The End Times.

But in the middle of this conversation, she very gently "unleashed" the Good News on me.

And told me how God relates to His people Israel, and how I could be "ingrafted" into that rich and lush Olive Tree.

Now, I say this, because I've done A LOT of thinking about how The Shoah, or The Holocaust, has affected my Jewish Brothers and Sisters.

I would like to think about the concept that there are NO evil people.

This is NOT about ME or my current struggle either. This is about the subject of evil.

Yohannon's Gospel says that the Light touched every person born into this world.

The Quakers who I've hung with some in my past called this (Yohannon's Gospel) "The Quaker Gospel". Because they believe that EVERY HUMAN has a little of this Light.

Now, let's jump back into World War II, for a few minutes.

I've studied the Nazi's and The Shoah intensely, because of my being given the Gift of Messiah by a Jewish person.

These men that ran the death camps, who were Officers, some of them had a rather "decent" home life, and loved their wives and children whom they went home to at night, while during the day they fed The House of Israel into the gas chambers, to the point that smoke belched 24/7 from some places like Auschwitz and Dachau.

Almost all of them that survived to the Nuremburg Trials said that "We were only obeying orders".

I would put it to you that that at the dark heart of the National Socialist Movement, lurked major players (demons) for satan.

I would also put to you that that evil begins a sort "staining process" of the human soul that the longer these men cooperated with it, the easier that it became to do this heinous and barbaric stuff.

Before long, they could go home and act as though nothing was happening, and that they really had no hand in this horrendous evil at all. They played with their own kids while torturing and murdering Jewish children by the hundreds, and finally by the thousands.

At what point does the evil complete it's "staining process" to where it's irrevocable and unchangable?

At what point does a man BECOME EVIL?

I respect that we differ on this question, but the sad fact is that we are at another watershed in history RIGHT NOW, just like we were in 1937 and 1938. With Iran.

The Assyrian Christian FBI Agent who watched over and interrogated Saddam Hussein for MONTHS finally asked him about using WMD's against his own Kurdish population, and Saddam answered that these Kurdish people "Were collateral damage", and in the course of everything, it just really mean't NOTHING.

I respectfully say that you are WRONG about there NOT being evil people in our world.

I have more stories from my life that are too personal to share here in public, but one must EXPERIENCE evil to actually understand it. And I'm NOT speaking about my internet situation, here either.

I was actually blown away when you said that thing about "no evil people" last night.

It reminded me of my wife's Anglican Pastor who is a Universalist.....everyone will be SAVED in the end.

But that's NOT what Rabbi Yeshua taught, IS IT?

Yeshua spent A LOT of time telling us about Gehenna and how to avoid ending up in this place of terrors.

But my bottom line is that human beings can become so "stained" by evil that they lose their very humaness (their LIFE) to the enemy (satan) forever.

But if we look at our recent human history it is pretty bleak, when we choose to live WITHOUT a Saviour, without Our Messiah.

I think that we see examples from the Gospels of demon possessed people that Yeshua freed, these were people who had BECOME EVIL.

But sadly, I don't see the 'Church', or the Yahad, acting in the power that it had in the First Century.

I'm NOT saying that it could not live that Way again, but the chances seem pretty slim to me at this rather late date.

Your own people the Assyrians, have had a Holocaust at the hands of the Turks, and Kurds acting on behalf of the Turks.

I'm sorry my Friend, but on this one, we gotta agree to disagree.

I DO believe that people can become SO FILLED WITH EVIL, as to become completely LOST to ever gaining any REAL hope of spiritual freedom.

Shlama, Your Brother, Albion
