Since when was a point a requirement of a thread?

Thanks for saying this, CS. It amazes me that people have no fear when it comes to criticizing God's people.

So, if a person lies, it isn't because he chose to lie but because the devil made him do it? Since Jesus said "there is none good but God," how can any unsaved person have a "good" spirit? Are we humans not born with a sinful nature and with a heart (seat of emotions, core of one's being) that is "deceitful" above all things "and desperately wicked"?
When are we going to stop removing from humans their responsibility for their own words, actions, attitudes, and beliefs? When are we going to stop placing the blame anywhere except in the wickedness of our own nature?

Some are quick to do it, because they feel they know that those they critisize are not God's people.
And therin lies the problem.
God help them if they are wrong.

You're right. Folks justify their criticism by assuring themselves inwardly that those they are criticizing are actually ungodly, Pharisees, or the like.

Chan ... I could not agree more. It's time we are held accountable.

It is my belief that folk give the devil far more credit for things than he deserves. Most of our problems stem from our own stinking flesh.

Sin is a human condition. It always amazes me when people blame the devil for everything. The devil may tempt us, but ultimately we choose sin of our own accord.
Sometimes I think its easier for folks to blame the devil than to take responsibility for their own actions. e.g., "The Devil made me do it!"
