“If God were to eradicate all evil from this planet, He would have to eradicate all evil men. Who would be exempt? “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” [Romans 3:23 NIV].

“Today we see social evil, terrorism, and gross immorality throughout the world. Someone has said, “A wrong deed is right if the majority of people declare it not to be wrong.”
By this principle we can see our standards shifting

This new permissiveness is condoned by intelligent men and women,
many of whom are found in the churches.”

“If evil were not made to appear attractive, there would be no such thing as temptation.
