This evidences that knowledge DOES NOT guarantee morality because it lacks any power to make one choose the good over the evil. You can know right from wrong (and the Nazi's did) but this knowledge and any level of knowledge is void of any power to make one embrace good/morality.
This is a good point, which people are missing.
Also, I thought those others who tried to show Hitler as Christian
--> was a pretty pathetic thing. A lot of Christians still think the Jews are God's people - including me. Hitler's political babble can in no way show a christian doctrine.
Willowtree is I think, trying to show that we cannot ever get back to the garden without God. Read
Hosea to see examples of the God forsaken.
Even people who are not mad can murder - infact, very sane people DO murder. People here are against WT, and they are missing the good points s/he makes because of this. I disagree about pointing the finger at people, but I think there are some very valid points WT makes. Did Dahmer know the difference between right and wrong? - Did Bundy? Did Hitler? Do psychopaths? - Surely we can agree that the knowledge of good and evil is not a solver of problems. Loving your neighbour and enemy --> Now that would solve some problems.
If s/he is saying that morality and choosing "good" comes from a relationship with God - then I agree. This is the meat of the topic to me. I will refrain from pointing the finger at professors though, as I am too ignorant of that seperate matter.
However, I also know of people who are moral and atheist - many infact, yet they lack the doctrine and recipe for a good world, because they disregard God's teachings on how to get right with God, and not be forsaken. The fact is - God's way is the only way, and it will always be the moral winner. Faith in itself is rigteoussness, and was acceptable to God with Abraham. You cannot have the moral victory over believers, because you will always put self-righteoussness before the righteoussness of God. Singular opinions versus christian doctrine doesn't win. Love fulfills the law of God. Faith in Christ is the only way for our sinful bodies to be reconciled. How can we shake the dirt from the root of iniquity? We can only make our house without blemish and perfect, with the house that is without blemish and perfect. A house built on singular opinion will fall - and it has in the past. A good example of people failing in their own righteoussness - is the nazis, and the evil thereof they sought after. If those Hitlers were to actually read the bible, they would see how far from God their regime was.
The lone path leads to destruction, the past has proven this. Hatred and prejudice are also singular opinion=self-righteouss.
