And certainly recent headlines — from terrorist attacks perpetrated by radical Islamists in Paris and San Bernardino to the strange brew of warped Christian fundamentalism that appeared to motivate alleged shooter Robert Dear at the Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs — feeds the idea that religion is a force for ill in the world. But in “The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason,” Sam Harris not only asserts that the “greatest problem confronting civilization” is religious extremism, he further waxes that it’s also “the larger set of cultural and intellectual accommodations we have made to faith itself.”
Taken together with the assessment of social scientists — the high priests of our contemporary culture — the message, increasingly, is clear. Just last month, a new University of Chicago study conducted by psychologist Jean Decety posited that religious children are less altruistic than children from more secular families. He went so far as to contend that his results reveal “how religion negatively influences children’s altruism. They challenge the view that religiosity facilitates prosocial behavior, and call into question whether religion is vital for moral development — suggesting the secularization of moral discourse does not reduce human kindness. In fact, it does just the opposite.”

Believe the Holy Bible literally. God is literally Love. Holy Love.

It’s all literal. The Devil attacks the family. Literally the Devil.

God loves with Holy Love literally. Infinite Love. The Devil hates what is Holy. The whole world lies in wickedness. The Scripture calls the Devil the “god of this world.”

2 Corinthians 4:4
And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 5For we do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bond-servants for Jesus’ sake.…

1 John 3:1
See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. 2Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is

Believe the Holy Bible literally

1 John 5:19
We know that no one who is born of God sins; but He who was born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him. 19We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. 20And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.…

1 John 3:8
7Little children, make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; 8the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. 9No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.…

Literally. Believe literally. The Devil is the “god of this world.” The whole world lies in wickedness.

The Scripture says “practices sin.” We all sin, but not all of us sin WILLFULLY. There is a difference.

Please help Father I plea the precious Blood of your Son Jesus Christ please help in Jesus Name I pray. Amen
 
Whether you are selfless because God wants you to be, or just because, the end result is the same. Social ‘Science’ is a real load of fertilizer!

“[The Holy Spirit] will convict the World
of sin, of righteousness and of judg-
ment, of sin b/c men do not believe in
Me(the World), of righteousness b/c
I’m going to the Father and you will see
Me no more(the flesh) and of Judgment
b/c the prince of this world is now cond-
emned (the devil)” John 16:8-11
