* How does a person choose evil?

* A heart bent on sin calls evil good.

* His will (which is bent on sin) will convince the intellect that there is something good to be gained by giving in to the temptation.

* Like a person who steals money - they don’t see stealing as evil because it’s good to be rich, it’s good to give, it’s good to have money for my family.

* He has called evil good.

* Think about Eve - “when the woman saw that the tree was GOOD for food, and that it was a DELIGHT to the eyes, and it was DESIRABLE to make one WISE…”

* The only way she could sin was to convert the disobedience into something good.

* People do evil when they have converted the act into something good for them.

* Think about a time when you sinned (did evil).

* You first convinced yourself that what you were about to do was justifiable.

* Some greater need at the moment blocked the voice of your conscience and you called evil good.

* If this is unchecked for too long, you will then start to call good evil.

* This is when you become a God-hater.
