Hamas, KKK, or any other group should be examined for, not their works, but their motives. What are the motives behind their works of feeding, clothing the poor? Is it to feed and clothe or to convert, indocrinate and enslave? I suspect it is the latter, and that's what makes their "good works" evil. Any good work that is intended to sway people from truth is not a good work at all.
amen brutha, lol,dt

exactly. these are case studies we should be careful to examine.
we live in a dangerous world where groups "give" to the poor a lot. but what are they wanting in return?
tis a question we should ask.

In fact I think that the insinuation of "hateful" Pentecostals is coming mostly from the fertile imaginations of bitter, backslidden ex Apostolics who are constantly trying to find a way to justify their actions. ~ strait shooter

Pray for Selmer....that town has had enough sad stuff in the past couple of years; the Winkler Murder, the Car crash downtown that killed so many people, and now the KKK showing up....Lets pray that God heal our land!!!! ( I live 30 miles from there )
Any "good" the KKK has done is wiped away by the evil and vileness it has perpetuated. Those pictures are at the very best, the faces of true ignorance, at worst (knowing that God is able to clean the souls of these men) the faces of evil.

You've got that right, Brother. Everytime we turn around, McNairy County is in the news about something these days.

I'm just very impressed that this sort of dialogue can be had in this forum in a respectful and insightful way. I don't agree with everything said but I do like that you all can have such a conversation in this kind of spirit. I believe that that will be what will ultimately fix a lot of the issues we have.
