BeenaBobba Posted July 18, 2004 Posted July 18, 2004 [quote name='JeffCR07' date='Jul 18 2004, 02:02 PM'] one could never claim that aiding sin is an act of charity. If you are not doing so, then the fallicy of the situation lies with you. [/quote] Which means that if Arnold donated the doors, willingly and knowingly, i.e., if he knew they symbolized a sort of religious pluralism, his act would not be an act of charity, right?

Guest JeffCR07 Posted July 18, 2004 Posted July 18, 2004 Just to clarify: An act that is materially good, but not meritoriously good, would be when, merely as an example, a person gives money to a beggar for the purpose of being perceived as a good person. Good deeds beget rewards, but as Christ has said, "They have received their reward" Thus, a charitable act can be either materially good, or both materially and meritoriously good. Aiding and Abetting Sin is neither of these things. - Your Brother In Christ, Jeff
BeenaBobba Posted July 18, 2004 Posted July 18, 2004 Hi Jeff, Gotcha. I see what you're saying. God bless, Jen
Donna Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 PedroX, of course you are right. The lesser of two evils isn't much comfort, just less evil.
Norseman82 Posted July 21, 2004 Posted July 21, 2004 Apparently the message has gotten through to convention leaders. Erika Harold (Miss America 2003), who is active in pro-life and abstinance speaking events, has been added to the list of speakers at the convention.
