Spiritual/Religious Tool Kit to Help You Deal with Evil
"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully
as when they do it from religious conviction."
Blaise Pascal
Dear Members:
In the 10 years that I have managed forums, I have noted that people with strong faith heal faster. So I encourage you to find or renew your faith in the God of your understanding of your faith. It is very empowering to feel God's strength and the strength of your religion supporting and guiding you as you encounter and turn away from evil.
femfree
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast.
It is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.
It is not easily angered.
It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
First Corinthians 13:4
1 Corinthians 5:11 (NLT)"...you are not to associate with anyone who claims to be a believer yet indulges in sexual sin, or is greedy, or worships idols or is abusive, or is a drunkard, or cheats people. Don't even eat with such people."
"When I cry for help"...
states that “As pastors of the Catholic Church in the United States, we state as clearly and strongly as we can that violence against women, inside or outside the home, is never justified. Violence in any form"—physical, sexual, psychological, or verbal"—is sinful; often, it is a crime as well.”
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
http://www.usccb.org/laity/help.shtml
Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
From Pastor Rick of Runboard
"The conclusion of the illustration Jesus was giving was that we could know a false teacher, or professor of the faith by the results of their own works. While it is true that a person who does not believe in Jesus can learn the Bible and pretend to be a child of God it is also true that their own works will reveal their true nature and purpose."
Jesus (John 21:17) says to his disciple John "feed my sheep." In this parable Jesus means "teach my people." Thus, 'sheep' are people on earth. The wolves appear in sheep's clothing - IOW they appear just like everybody.
Ephesians 6:10-16 NLT "The Whole Armour of God. Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against might powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on every piece of God's armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground...
The Babylonian Talmud describes something called geneivat da’at (literally, theft of one’s mind, thoughts, wisdom, or knowledge), i.e., fooling someone and thereby causing him or her to have a mistaken assumption, belief, and/or impression. The sages believed that there are seven types of thieves and, of these, the most egregious is the one who “steals the minds” of people. (mentioned at Lovefraud.com)
quote:
Revelations 12:12 But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short."
Refuse to be manipulated into confrontation over the trivial. Stay focussed and calm. You'll be stronger for it. "In quietness and confidence shall be your strength."
Isaiah 30:15
Luke 8:35 (NLT) Jesus Heals a Demon-Possessed Man -- People rushed out to see what had happened. A crowd soon gathered around Jesus, and they saw the man who had been freed from the demons. He was sitting at Jesus' feet, fully clothed and perfectly sane...
Note that the link of demons and sanity is mentioned.
"Wisdom of Solomon 2:24 "Through envy of the devil came death into the world
Psalm 10 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
http://www.carm.org/kjv/Psalms/Psalm_10.htm
Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good
Acts 4:29-30 Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform miraculous signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.
Recommended scripture reading: Galatians 5:16-26
Thessalonians 5:22 (NLT) Don't stifle the Holy Spirit. Do not scoff at prophecies, but test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good. Stay away from every kind of evil.
2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 (NLT) Events prior to the Lord's Second Coming
Now dear brothers and sisters let us clarify some things about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and how we will be gathered to meet him. Don't be so easily shaken or alarmed by those who say that the day of the Lord has already begun. Don't believe them even if they claim to have had a spiritual vision, a revelation, or a letter supposedly from us. Don't be fooled by what they say for that day will not come until there is a great rebellion against God and the man of lawlessness is revealed - the one who brings destruction. He will exalt himself and defy everything that people call god and every object of worship.
He will even sit in the temple of God, claiming that he himself is God.
(Indicates strong trait of Narcissistic Personality Disorder)
Don't you remember that I told you about all this when I was with you? And you know what is holding him back, for he can be revealed only when the time comes. For this lawlessness is already at work secretly, and it will remain secret until the one who is holding it back steps out of the way. Then the man of lawlessness will be revealed, but the Lord Jesus will kill him with the breath of his mouth and destroy him by the splendor of his coming.
This man will come to do the work of Satan with counterfeit power and signs of miracles. He will use every kind of evil deception to fool those on their way to destruction because they refuse to love and accept the truth that would save them. So God will cause them to be greatly deceived, and they will believe these lies. Then they will be condemned for enjoying evil rather than believing the truth.
from Proverbs 16 - The LORD detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished.
1 Corinthians 5:13 God will judge those on the outside but as the Scriptures say "You must remove the evil person from among you."
1 Corinthians 7 - Instruction on Marriage v. 14 (NLT) (But if the husband or wife who isn't a believer insists on leaving, let them go. In such cases the Christian husband or wife is no longer bound to the other for God has called you to live in peace.) V21 (NLT) Are you a slave? Don't let that worry you - but if you get a chance to be free, take it.
John 8:44 He (the devil) was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies.
1 Corinthians 10:12-13 (NLT) If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall. The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience and God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted He will show you a way out so that you can endure.
2 Corinthians 6:14-18 NLT. Don't team up with those who are are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness? What harmoney can there be between Christ and the devil? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever? And what union can there be between God's temple and idols? For we are the temple of the living God.
(The Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle 2 Timothy 3:1-9) courtesy Dr. Sam Vaknin
"1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jan'nes and Jam'bres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; 9 but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was."
Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV) 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
(A reward for finally leaving evil people.)

Re: Religious/Spiritual Guidance

For some the question, "Does evil exist?" is philosophical. But for those who've been victimized, there is no question at all.
The Difference Between "Sick" and "Evil" By Andrew Vachss
http://www.vachss.com/av_dispatches/parade_071402.html
Medieval theologian Thomas Aquinas said of Pride "inordinate self-love is the cause of every sin ... the root of pride is found to consist in man not being, in some way, subject to God and His rule."
 Our Father, which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory,
For ever and ever. Amen
Matthew 7:6 (NLT) Don't waste what is holy on people who are unholy. Don't throw your pearls to pigs. They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you.
Matthew 9:13 (NLT) "I have come to call not on those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners."
Matthew 18:6 (NLT) But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
Matthew 18:15-17 (NLT) If another believer sins against you go privately and point out the offense. If the other person listens and confesses it you have won that person back. But if you are unsuccessful take one or two others with you and go back again so that everything you say may be confirmed by two or three witnesses. If the person still refuses to listen take your case to the church. Then if he or she won't accept the church's decision, treat that person as a pagan or a corrupt tax collector.
Matthew 18:21-22 (NLT) Then Peter came to and asked, "Lord how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven Times? No, not seven times," Jesus replies, "but seventy times seven!"
1 Corinthians 10:20-21 (NLT) And I don't want you to participate with demons. You cannot drink from the cup of the Lord and from the cup of demons too. You cannot eat at the Lord's Table and at the table of demons too.
Romans 2:21-23...you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal? 22You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? 23You who brag about the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?
Matthew 24:11 (NLT) And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many .
Matthew 24:24 (NLT) For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Luke 20 45-47 (NLT) Then, with the crowds listening, he (Jesus) turned to his disciples and said "Beware of these teachers of religious law! For they like to parade around in flowing robes and love to receive respectful greetings as they walk in the marketplaces. And how they love the seats of honor in the synagogues and the head table at banquets. Yet they shamlessly cheat widows out of their property and then pretend to be pious by making long prayers in public. Because of this they will be severely punished."

Conclusion
“Narcissists”, “Sociopaths”, “Personality Disorders”; by whatever name we use, there are people, even in our congregations, who are evil. We have become accustomed to thinking of the evil as the Hannibal Lectors, the Hitlers, the Darth Vaders of the world. Not so. Satan does not always appear as the roaring lion, but sometimes as the angel of light.* It behooves the pastor to understand those who may have relational disorders, and to know of what they are capable. The pastor should be aware of how to deal with them: openness, a hug, and a listening ear will not be effective in these cases. Only the Law of God can break through their disorders, and only as God wills. In the meantime, the pastor must protect the flock from potential harm. Sometimes there is no solution but the one Paul presents in 1 Corinthians 5:11-13:
I have written you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat."
What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked man from among you."
“But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? God judges those outside. ‘Purge the evil person from among you.’”
A Christian Approach to Severe Relational Personality Disorders (excellent read for religious guidance)
http://stonge.intheway.org/documents/The%20Evil%20Personality.pdf
One of my favorites, which the Bible also teaches in numerous scriptures, is “The best way to protect yourself from a sociopath is to avoid him, to refuse any kind of contact or communication.” The author explains that, “Psychologists do not usually like to recommend avoidance, but in this case, I make a very deliberate exception. The only truly effective method for dealing with a sociopath you have identified is to disallow him from your life altogether. Sociopaths live completely outside the social contract, and therefore to include them in relationships or other social arrangements is perilous…..You will not hurt anyone’s feelings. Strange as it seems, and though they may try to pretend otherwise, sociopaths do not have any such feelings to hurt. You may never be able to make your family and friends understand why you are avoiding a particular individual….Avoid him anyway.”
http://www.luke173ministries.org/templates/System/details.asp?id=39548&PID=466855&Style=
Matthew 7 Judging Others
1"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

1 Timothy 6:4-5 (NLT) (Teach the wholesome teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ) 4Anyone who teaches something different is arrogant and lacks understanding. Such a person has an unhealthy desire to quibble over the meaning of words. This stirs up arguments ending in jealousy, division, slander, and evil suspicions. These people always cause trouble. Their minds are corrupt and they have turned their back on the truth. To them, a show of godliness is just a way to become wealthy."
1 Peter 5:8-9 (NLT) Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him and be strong in your faith. Remember that your Christian brothers and sisters all over the world are going through the same kind of suffering you are.
2 Peter 2:2-3 (NLT) The Danger of False Teachers. Many will follow their evil teaching and shameful immorality. And because of these teachers the way of truth will be slandered. In their greed they will make up clever lies to get hold of your money. But God condemned them long ago, and their destruction will not be delayed.
Proverbs 20:22 Judgement is God's Job: Wait for the Lord and He will make things right.
(Heb 10:30) "Vengance is mine" God declared. "I will repay."
For interest - what the bible says about the origin of the evil ones? Revelations 12:7-9 (NLT)There was a war in heaven, Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels. And the dragon lost the battle and he and his angels were forced out of heaven. This great dragon - the ancient serpent called the devil or Satan, the one deceiving the whole world - was thrown down to the earth with all his angels."
Romans 5 1:4 (Rewards of our suffering) Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.
2 Corinthians 4:8-10 (NLT) We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.
Matthew 7-24:27 (NIV) "Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."
Romans 12:17-21 (NLT) Never pay back evil with more evil. Do things insuch a way that everyone can see you are honorable. Do all that you can to live in peacewith everyone. Dear Friends, never take revenge, Leave thatto the righteous anger of God

ABORTION
I'm pregnant but don't agree with abortion, I feel guilt that it's against God's words but maybe I'm not right?
Here's some of Jesus's words that may help. A pastor explained this to me as he advises women who have been raped by psychopaths or find out their partners have mental disorders.
A Tree and Its Fruit (Matthew 7)
15"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

It has sometimes been remarked that the door in the painting has no handle, and can therefore only be opened from the inside.

Re: Religious/Spiritual Guidance
Psalms 109
1 Do not keep silent,
O God of my praise!
2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful
Have opened against me;
They have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
3 They have also surrounded me with words of hatred,
And fought against me without a cause.
4 In return for my love they are my accusers,
But I give myself to prayer.
5 Thus they have rewarded me evil for good,
And hatred for my love.
21 But You, O GOD the Lord,
Deal with me for Your name’s sake;
Because Your mercy is good, deliver me.
22 For I am poor and needy,
And my heart is wounded within me.
23 I am gone like a shadow when it lengthens;
I am shaken off like a locust.
24 My knees are weak through fasting,
And my flesh is feeble from lack of fatness.
25 I also have become a reproach to them;
When they look at me, they shake their heads
26 Help me, O LORD my God!
Oh, save me according to Your mercy,
27 That they may know that this is Your hand—
That You, LORD, have done it!
28 Let them curse, but You bless;
When they arise, let them be ashamed,
But let Your servant rejoice.
29 Let my accusers be clothed with shame,
And let them cover themselves with their own disgrace as with a mantle.
30 I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth;
Yes, I will praise Him among the multitude.
31 For He shall stand at the right hand of the poor,
To save him from those who condemn him.
Psalms 140
1 Deliver me, O LORD, from evil men;
Preserve me from violent men,
2 Who plan evil things in their hearts;
They continually gather together for war.
3 They sharpen their tongues like a serpent;
The poison of asps is under their lips. Selah
4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked;
Preserve me from violent men,
Who have purposed to make my steps stumble.
5 The proud have hidden a snare for me, and cords;
They have spread a net by the wayside;
They have set traps for me. Selah
6 I said to the LORD: “You are my God;
Hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.
7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation,
You have covered my head in the day of battle.
8 Do not grant, O LORD, the desires of the wicked;
Do not further his wicked scheme,
Lest they be exalted. Selah
12 I know that the LORD will maintain
The cause of the afflicted,
And justice for the poor.
13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks to Your name;
The upright shall dwell in Your presence.

Re: Religious/Spiritual Guidance
Hi Femfree,
Thank you so much for this great forum. So many Christians are suffering needlessly, burdened with unjustified guilt and/or laboring under the mistaken belief that God requires them to tolerate endless abuse without ever standing up for themselves or ending it.
If I may add a couple of my favorite scriptures-
We are taught to stand up and speak out:
"Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you will surely die,' and you do not speak out to dissuade him from his ways, that wicked man will die for his sin and I will hold you accountable for his blood. But if you do warn the wicked man to turn from his ways and he does not do so, he will die for his sin, but you will have saved yourself"....Ezekiel 33:7-9 NIV.
But after we have rebuked, our job is done. We are not told to stick around forever trying to get an evil person to stop. If he will not listen, we have no further obligation to him:
"Warn a divisive person once, and then warn him a second time. After that, have nothing to do with him. You may be sure that such a man is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned"...Titus 3:10-11 NIV.
"Do not speak to a fool, for he will scorn the wisdom of your words"...Proverbs 23:9 NIV.
"Drive out the mocker, and out goes strife; Quarrels and insults are ended"...Proverbs 22:19 NIV.
But we should always expose evil to the light and not protect evil with our silence:
"Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them"...Ephesians 5: 11 NIV.
Thanks again and God bless you for all you do!

Re: Religious/Spiritual Guidance
I think there's a lot of empowerment that comes from feeling God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit with us as we move away from evil into the light. Having validation that this is God's wish allows us to give ourselves permission to 'move away'.
