What does it mean to be an 


evil person? 



Evil is not always synonymous with secularism,


heathenism, or the belief that God does not exist.


Evil is acting as if God does not exist. It does not


 exclude God, but it never considers God; it does 


not expect God to be present, involved, and 


active at all times.


According to On September 28, 1862, a commission of military officers, established by Henry Sibley, began unfairly trying Dakota men accused of participating in the war. 

On December, 26, 38 Dakota prisoners were led to a scaffold specially constructed for their execution. An estimated 4,000 spectators crammed the streets of Mankato and surrounded the land. As the men took their assigned places on the scaffold, they sang a Dakota song as white muslin coverings were pulled over their faces. Drumbeats signalled the start of the execution. The men grasped each others’ hands. With a single blow from an ax, the rope that held the platform was cut. After dangling from the scaffold for a half hour, the men’s bodies were cut down and hauled to a shallow mass grave. Before morning, most of the bodies had been dug up and taken by physicians for use as medical cadavers. 

Letter from Hdainyanka to Chief Wabasha written shortly before his execution:

 

"You have deceived me.  You told me that if we followed the advice of General Sibley, and gave ourselves up to the whites, all would be well; no innocent man would be injured.  I have not killed, wounded or injured a white man, or any white persons.  I have not participated in the plunder of their property; and yet to-day I am set apart for execution, and must die in a few days, while men who are guilty will remain in prison.  My wife is your daughter, my children are your grandchildren.  I leave them all in your care and under your protection.  Do not let them suffer; and when my children are grown up, let them know that their father died because he followed the advice of his chief, and without having the blood of a white man to answer for to the Great Spirit."

We live in a world where God's truth is 


blossoming all around us, but some people 


are busy covering it up, hiding it, suppressing


 it, and keeping it from being prominent and 


dominant in our thinking. 



Life has become tragic in so many cases 


because the world has been deprived of the 


truth that is necessary for life, liberty, freedom,


 and godliness, and it has been hidden and


 suppressed by men. The nature of the 


suppressed truth is the existence of a God


 of eternal power and majesty.



Unrighteousness and/or wickedness, selfish 


and hurtful acts of men toward one another 


result from godlessness. 


Why do we behave so selfishly? Why do we 


cause each other harm? Because we ignore God 


and expect there to be no consequences. That is 


Paul's assessment.


God knows that certain individuals will attempt 


to suppress the truth about Him, despite the


 fact that He clearly discloses His existence.


 Why would someone do 


such a thing?



People suppress the truth because


 they do not like revelation in 


their sin. 


If revelation reveals the existence of God, then 


truth is objective, eternal, and apart from them..




God's wrath is being revealed from heaven 


against the godlessness and wickedness of 


humans who, through their evilness, attempt 


to suppress the truth. Everything they need 


to know about God is evident to them 


because God has made it plain to them. 



God's wrath is caused by "godlessness and


 wickedness of mankind who conceals the 


truth by their wickedness." 



The tragic aspects of existence are caused by


 men's beliefs and subsequent actions. Take 


note of the order: godlessness comes first, 


then wickedness.



Because evil behaviors are the result of a 


godless mindset, God's wrath is constantly 


expressed from heaven towards man.


People act unjustly, unrighteously, 


maliciously, hurtfully, cruelly, wickedly, 


evil and hateful toward one another... 


as a result of godlessness. 


Moral decay, intolerance, spiritually 


corrupting influences, forces of darkness, 


ravages, turbulent, destructive energies 


and behaviors are 


not of God. 



Some people are just devilishly malicious 


beings who hurt others for reasons other


 than merely perceived threats. 


Why are people so evil?



Some people are desperate for connections, 


even if they are hateful ones. Many lonely, 


unfulfilled people join hate groups to satisfy 


their need for belonging. As a result, they


 share their hatred for others as a way to fit 


in and strengthen their ties. 



Common moods and psychological demands 


bring out the worst behavior in certain people, 


pushing them to spew out hateful remarks 


about others. 



There is no stronger temporary connection


 than two people who hate the same people.

Some people feel that putting others 


down and seeing who agrees is a better 


way to establish connections than proving 


to others that they are interesting and 


worthwhile companions. They don't need


 to be accomplished... do anything or be 


about anything special; all they have to 


do is be hateful towards other people, 


outside of their clan. 



People have been found to form 


relationships based on how they can 


spew their hatred for someone outside 


of their group, according to our findings.



Humans are the earth's pride as well as its 


filth. Humans do things in order to get 


pleasure or avoid pain. Some individuals 


make horrifyingly cruel judgments out of 


desperation, insecurities, lack of self-


esteem, fear of the unknown, and


spinelessness.



Misinformed fear can sometimes 


trigger hateful and malicious actions 


from someone else who is 


unreasonably convinced that their 


venom and hostility are warranted


 and/or required.


People are looking for a scapegoat... 


someone to blame and point the 


finger at. Some people choose to


 channel their negative energy into 


blaming others rather than confronting


 their own participation in their messy 


issues. Hating anyone, let alone 


someone you hardly know... is insane.


 It derails normal perception and 


behavior. It is a degenerative state 


of mind.



According to studies, some people 


form deeper ties through mutual 


animosity than through favorable 


sentiments for someone. Hatred 


breaches social barriers and exposes 


vulnerability, which can satisfy 


others' need for connection. While 


this may aid in establishing 


relationships, it is a dangerous 


approach to actively seeking out 


sincere friendships.

When people's consciences are shattered, 


they begin to normalize disobedience to God, 


anticipating no consequences.


Their heinous and self-serving actions bury



 the reality of God and truth.



The Bible discusses a burned conscience 


in 1 Timothy 4:2. The conscience is the moral 


awareness that God has given to everyone of us.


Romans 2:15


If the conscience is rendered indifferent, 


""Cauterized"... as if "spiritual scar tissue" 


existed... because the awareness of good and 


evil has been diminished... such a conscience 


does not function properly. The human heart with 


a burnt conscience grows desensitized to moral 


pains, just as the skin of an animal seared with


11 a branding iron becomes numb to even more misery.

The world is deprived of the truth that is vital for 


life, liberty, freedom, and godliness, and it is 


concealed and suppressed by men, which is why 


life has turned sad in so many situations.


According to the Bible, God has revealed Himself 


to man. Truth is not a vague, obscure, or a 


challenging concept to understand; it is clear to 


see. That has been promised by God himself. 


God is seen in everything which is made, the 


Scriptures say, alluding to creation. It has been 


seen since the beginning of time, i.e., it has 


constantly, just about everywhere, been present. 


There is no one who is excluded from reading


 God's truth, if they so want. 



This argument from the design and order of 


creation has never been refuted. Those who 


reject God are unable to explain it since truth 


about God is blossoming all around us.



People are so without excuse, according to the


 Scriptures. Nobody needs to overlook God 


if they truly desire to seek God.


It is evident that Truth is being suppressed


 openly in the public square. What about our 


own personal lives? Is it possible that we are 


suppressing God's Truth by failing to understand


 and obey the revelation of Truth in His Word?

 We can see structural racism almost everywhere


 in this fallen world. Structural racism has given


 birth to structural pride and entitlement. Many 


Whites have been forced into a role of keeping


 generational lies on the hush. This curse was 


handed down from their forefathers. 



Many are quick to remove themselves from the 


uncomfortable conversations about our history. 


They are quick to shut the conversations down


 stating they are not guilty of the crimes that 


were committed against Black people by their 


forefathers. This may be true in one sense, but 


if the whole truth be told, they have greatly


 benefited from the crimes and the desperately


 wicked deeds of their forefathers. 



Your forefathers, held human beings as property.


They left a bloody trail of tears and lies as a 


legacy. Their true legacy had a worldwide stench; 


yet, they still attempted to call themselves devout 


Christians... ???!!! 



Yes, you are a product of privilege built by


 slavery. Your slave-owning forefathers put 


you in your privileged position by committing 


some of the worst atrocities known to mankind.



When they gave their accounts of historical events, 


they lied and attempted to make themselves appear


 as heroes, and the lies were printed in the text books


 and woven into the fabric of our society. That was 


pure evil.



There is an old saying, 


"If it doesn't come out in the wash... 


it will come out in the rinse". 


Now that the chickens have come home to roost, 


the responsibility falls on us all to assist in 


cleaning up the horrors, violent crimes, theft, 


rape, sodomy, senseless murders, and 


fatherless children the evil slave-holders 


and promoters created and left behind.
