From a woman to women

   Worldly people who can be toxic to a Christian, If they aren't aware of their evil

Most people who intentionally harm others don't think of themselves as evil, tending to minimize or justify their actions--in crime and in war.


Exodus 32:12-- Why should the Egyptians say, ‘It was with evil intent that he brought them out, to kill them in the mountains and to wipe them off the face of the earth’? Turn from your fierce anger; relent and do not bring disaster on your people.


From genocide to malware and everything in between, it’s easy to feel demoralized about the moral fiber and caring of our fellow human beings. It can certainly seem that malice and evil are an endemic when it comes to human beings.
 
No matter if, they are worldly people or Christian people. Evil has no age, race or gender, it is what it is when it comes to another human being, you would think life seems worthless, when it comes to evil people; seems like who lives or who dies.


Judges 2:19-- But when the judge died, the people returned to ways even more corrupt than those of their ancestors, following other gods and serving and worshiping them. They refused to give up their evil practices and stubborn ways.


Why is there evil?’ But after reviewing what is known about the causes of aggression, violence, oppression, and other forms of evil, one is led to the opposite question: Why is there more evil than there is good?" A lot of the evil comes from their ancestors and up bringing as a child, the evil they have lived and seen for 18 years or longer. Some being brutally assaulted and molested as a child, things no child should never experience, the things not even grownups will talk about. Mental abuse is the worse when it comes to a human life, this is another reason why wordily people become evil.
 
These corrupted and evil people will most likely die violently, because that is all they know. They are so angry with the world for how their life turned out. These evil people do have stubborn ways, selfish only thinks of themselves. And no regards for human life.
 
“The myth of pure evil,” making the point that the factors driving people to do bad things to each other are highly complex. The notion of evil is a simplistic one. Let me express this as a factor; 
"There are four major root causes of evil or reasons that people act in ways that others will perceive as evil.
 
1.The simple desire for material gain:
Take an inventory of your life. What do you own right now? Whatever possessions you have are no accident, and not a product of mere happenstance. Worldly people put materialistic thing before GOD, examples: (lottery, gambling, robbery, and drugs) they will commit evil acts at any cost to keep their habits.
 
1st Timothy 6:7 -- After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can't take anything with us when we leave it.   vs.7--For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out.


1 Samuel 2:7-- All of our possessions are his, and he gives (and takes away) as he sees fit. God makes the poor and he makes the rich. 
 
2. Threatened Egotism:
People who do evil things generally don’t consider themselves evil, Low self-esteem has long been asserted to be one of the most important determinants of violent behavior. 
We support the notion that individuals with inflated self-opinions may be prone to violent or aggressive behavior, while committing evil deeds to another individual (s). 
Also, Narcissists people are pre-occupied with their own self; with plotting to do harm to a person vs Christian people.
 
Romans 12:19-21-- Dearly beloved, avenge not yourself, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written; Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore, if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirsts, give him drink; for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire in his head
 
Psalms 64:1
Hear me, my God, as I voice my complaint; protect my life from the threat of the enemy.
 
Conclusion: Bottom line is we live in a world where our lives are not worth much to the worldly and evil doers out here. As Christians we are bless to have God shield of protection over us. Human beings are motivated solely by the pursuit of pleasure and the avoidance of pain. The pursuit of pleasure, claim objectors, encourages individuals to commit unrighteous deeds, bring distress, carelessness, levity and suffering later in life to oneself or innocent people.
 
John 10:11--" I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep."
 
Jeremiah 23:4--" And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD,"
 
Ezek 34:22-24
"I will save my flock, and they will no longer be plundered. I will judge between one sheep and another. I will place over them one shepherd, my servant David, and he will tend them; he will tend them and be their shepherd. I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David will be prince among them."
 
Last: The power of the Flock is that we can create magic by working towards a common goal. We can all be powerful but we are even more powerful together. We are like a flock of birds: flying towards the same goal. GOD.
