Dave Havir, focusing on the topic of recognizing evil, suggests that we should able to discern between good and evil, being able to categorize levels of evil, having the capability of making judgments. Everybody has sinned, but not all sin is equal. We should not become trapped into the notion of moral equivalency. If a man rapes a woman, and she responds with slander, the sins are not equivalent. The politician who wants to kill children is more despicable than the man who wants to raise taxes, even though both behaviors are despicable. Sin is not equal. Wrongs done on both sides, in business, in marriage, and in the family, do not make “even steven” or fifty-fifty. In divorce situations, one person is more wrong than the other person. All sin is not equal. Extenuating circumstances may factor in wrong- doing which make some crime worse than others. The existence of the death penalty and variation of sentences indicates that one sin is less tolerable than another sin. Eye for eye and tooth for tooth implies a measured reponse to sin. Adultery - Being fair - Both sides of the story - Christian door mat - David Fisher - Death penalty - Divorce - Dixon Cartwright - DNA evidence - Door mat - Even-steven - Extenuating circumstances - Eye for eye, tooth for tooth - Fifty-fifty - Gossip - Gun control - Human reasoning - Jury duty - Jury selection - Law of God - Memories - Moral equivalency - Mouth of two witnesses - Penalties for sin - Putting dirt on other peoples’ food - Resisting evil - Sexual activity - Sin not unto death - Skinning someone alive - Strong opinion - Thinking outside the box - Torture - Two or three witnesses - Women’s Rights |
