  7. VictimizedChristians?

  8. Trial of the Century:Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb

  9. Trial of the Century:Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb

  10. Trial of the Century:Leopold and Loeb “Darrow appealed to the belief among evolutionists, reinforced by the then-popular psychiatric theories of Sigmund Freud, that a man's character is derived from many external influences. As the man cannot control those influences — most especially his genetic makeup — the man cannot be held responsible for his actions.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold_and_Loeb

  11. Trial of the Century:Leopold and Loeb “Is any blame attached because somebody took Nietzsche's philosophy seriously and fashioned his life upon it? … it is hardly fair to hang a 19-year-old boy for the philosophy that was taught him at the university.“ Clarence Darrow

  12. Victimization Victimization: Attachment of the status of victim 7 out of 10 people are self-identified as victims One study determined 109% of population are victims of some sort

  13. Great “Victims” of the Bible Adam: Then the man said, "The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.“ Genesis 3:12 She made me do it!

  14. Great “Victims” of the Bible Aaron: So Aaron said, "Do not let the anger of my lord become hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil.” Exodus 32:22 The people made me do it!

  15. Great “Victims” of the Bible Saul: And Saul said, "When I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered together at Michmash………I felt compelled, and offered a burnt offering." 1 Samuel 13:11-12 You and the people made me do it!

  16. Great “Victims” of the Bible Saul: Then Saul said to Samuel, "I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice.” 1 Samuel 15:24 The people made me do it!

  17. Great “Victims” of the Bible The One Talent Man: "Then he who had received the one talent came and said, 'Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed. Matthew 25:24 You (God) made me do it!

  18. Victimized Christians: Acknowledgment of sin No acknowledgment of guilt Not real repentance

  19. Victimized Christians: My parents, children or family My emotional condition My experiences My husband or wife My church or religious experiences

  20. Does God Excuse “Victims” Adam? Aaron? Saul? One talent man? Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires

  21. God’s Judgment Criteria Ezekiel 18:3-24

  22. Christians CANNOT Be Victims! So the LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.“ Genesis 4:6-7

  23. Christians CANNOT Be Victims! How can we: repent if it is not our fault? grow if we are not weak? “sin no more” if it’s uncontrollable? “Victims” can’t be forgiven!

  24. Christians CANNOT Be Victims! So David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the LORD." And Nathan said to David, "The LORD also has put away your sin; you shall not die.” 2 Samuel 12:13

  25. Christians CANNOT Be Victims! And David said to God, "Was it not I who commanded the people to be numbered? I am the one who has sinned and done evil indeed; but these sheep, what have they done? Let Your hand, I pray, O LORD my God, be against me and my father's house, but not against Your people that they should be plagued.“1 Chronicles 21:17

  26. Christians CANNOT Be Victims! Abraham: pagan heritage Ruth: a Moabite David: faithless children Josiah: a wicked father James and John: sons of thunder Peter: predisposed to rashness Timothy: an unfaithful father

  27. Taking Responsibility: 1 Kings 21:25-29 “Because he has humbled himself before Me, I will not bring the calamity in his days”

  28. Taking Responsibility: I am spiritually weak because…… I am morally weak because….. I have not stopped sinning because….. My family life suffers because….. My finances suffer because……

  29. Taking Responsibility: I have not yet obeyed the Gospel because And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.‘ Acts 22:16
