Evil; A pure murderous raving lunatic that has no love in his or her heart whatsoever. At least, that's how I define it.

How do you suspect God defines evil?

Also, is pure evil only defined by how you define it or does that definition come from somewhere else?
 
Umm.. I don't know. Probably somewhat the same. I'm not God so I don't know and to be quite frank, I'm just stating what I believe, and I just found out that I'm not the only one who does either. I am a fraction of an inch a Christian universalist. I'm just not a complete one because I don't believe everyone is going to go to Heaven, but I do believe that Jesus came to earth and died for our sins a lot of people will even if they were brought up in different religions and belifes. So anyway, in the nicest way possible, I am done with this conversation. I have simply stated what I believe that's all and now I'm moving on.

If you don't come back to this thread, HeIsRisen2018, I'll just leave you with some food for thought. How do you reconcile what you wrote above with Matthew 7:13-14 NKJV? Particularly the part I put in bold text.

“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it."

Part of being a Christian is to study the Word of God because He wants us to know Him. Not just know about Him but know Him. Discussions like this that bring up hard questions for us to answer can be a good way to inspire us to dig deeper into the Scriptures to gain understanding and knowledge of Him. We have to take care not to let our inability to answer become a burden or discouragement but rather allow it to push us further toward spiritual maturity.
