>>Evil is evil no matter of degree. We learn from scripture that one sin, stealing a pencil, makes one guilty of breaking all the law. It's the same as if one murdered, though in our society of "man's reasoning" we would not place those two crimes on the same level. To God, evil is evil no matter the form. He even teaches in one part, "He who is faithful with a little, will be faithful with much. And he who is dishonest with a little, will be dishonest with much."

>>I do believe that it is evil to withhold digital content from people. I do not believe it is evil to offer to people a way to give donations if they so desire. And as God has done with Israel many times in scripture, He can place it within people's hearts to give abundantly.

>What I meant with my remark is, that in the context of this thread, those people that were mentioned in this group of "evil digital content hoarders" are in fact those who were the least to withheld digital content. I learned a lot from Tamar, Doug and other people that continuously presented at those conferences, without ever going to any of those events due to our small size company's funding. And never someone has sent us a bill. In fact, Ken Levy has visited us last year in Aruba, without charging for his time, and has spent a lot of his free time to help us understand the market and gave us lots of helpful tips and resources. I believe the Fox community is so much different because of these kind of people, who don't work foremost for money, but because of conviction. So I wanted to say that it would be unjust to label anyone as evil, when they are actually the ones who give the better example. That nobody is perfect, and that everybody is a sinner, that is on another level.


Understood.
