Swindle

I was reading the Volunteer Blog at the Hilltop Rescue web site last night, and noticed that somebody's been adding comment spam to the postings.

I've also reflected on what happens when people deliberately hurt other people. Doesn't anybody ever wonder what happens when they create a victim? I've got a theory, and it shows an even uglier side to the already "as-ugly-as-sin" world that sin has created here on Earth.

Person A has the ability to help Person B.
Person C deliberately harms Person A.
The damage to Person A prevents Person A from helping Person B.
Person B has been denied help because of actions of Person C.

My conclusion? Person C has just harmed TWO PEOPLE.

Here's what I wonder: Would God hold Person C accountable for the indirect harm that has been caused to Person B by preventing Person A from helping Person B?

I leave you with this quote:

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." (James 1:27)
