I can believe that everyone is born sinners but I can't wrap my head around that some are born full blown evil and they are destined for hell, when they can't help how they act.
I understand and experience that we humans can not help ourselves. 2 Corinthians 3:4-5
Psychopaths and sociopaths are more advanced in their sin ways than others. But in sin all humans are like clocks. The principles which make a wristwatch tick are the same as what make a grandfather clock tick. But our trick can be to make it seem like a serial habitual predator psycho is so different than we are in our selfish ways. But the basics are the same.
Therefore, I mean, if you get to understand your own ways of ego and sin, this can make you able to basically understand any evil person. And have compassion and hope for the person, since you have found how God has corrected you > if God has been successful in correcting you, then He is able to change any evil person to be and love like Jesus; from your own failures and sin problems, you can feel for any other person and have compassion, then, with hope for any person, at all >
"He can have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also subject to weakness." (Hebrews 5:2)
I think when someone engages in sinful behavior over a course of time, eventually they will sear their own conscience and finally is molded into the perfect image of a psychopath or sociopath.
2 Timothy 3:13
Could there be more to it than meets the eye, as we all know there is a spiritual reality and an ongoing war for man's souls.
Our Apostle Paul says there is
"the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience." (in Ephesians 2:2)
Christ died for everybody, even those who fall into the worst category.
Jesus suffered and died on the cross with hope for any evil person, at all. Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. He does not only take away the sins, but the sin in our nature which makes us all able to do the sins. The solution is the same for every one > take away the sin and cure the nature with God's love.
There are plenty of tickers who do not know how to love. But they all are not equally alarming. But what makes them tick to be selfish is basically the same.
But how can these damaged people ever come to salvation when their mindset is set on their own self destructive path?
People who argue in their marriages are self-destructive against how they could become in God's love, and their bad example is violating their children so it is possible that the children will not know how to love. This bad example of parents could be more deeply damaging than what a predator might do to a child. And staying busy with pointing at predators could be a way of being in denial about how they themselves have been hurting their own selves and children.
And there are people who violate themselves by means of food abuse.
And there are people who can get along only with their pets, instead of taking on the challenge of learning how to love and relate with people. This is very deeply destructive to how they could become in God's love which makes us strong enough and sensitive and sensible enough to relate in love with any and all people.
And there are excitement seekers who so keep going after yet another challenge, but they do not deal with the most worthwhile challenge of finding out how to submit to God and please Him and relate in His love as family with His children while also caring for any and all sinners. And, likewise, psychopaths can be trying to get excitement > they can consider what they do to be challenging and entertaining . . . but missing out on how interesting it is, and specially beneficial, to take on the challenge to learn how to love.
And there are people who are unforgiving. Their unforgiveness keeps them from enjoying God's love where God's forgiveness lives. While they feed on their unforgiveness, they miss out on how they could be in God's love; and, often enough, psychopaths are not being forgiving and this way is helping to keep them deeply degraded so they do not know how to love.
Are people truly born evil despite everyone having the image of God within them?
If babies were born angels, how come every one has gone into sin????? Ephesians 2:2
Supposedly these people are unreedemable and unreachable, is it because they are of the devil?
Whenever I have done wrong things, I often have thought I was being smart. And there is the ability of being in denial. But God is able to get through to us. Hebrews 12:4-11, I understand, encourages us all to actively seek our Father for His correction. There always is correction which He knows we need, and God is able to succeed in us. So, if I am failing, I likely am doing my own so-called effort which might even be designed to fail so I then can excuse myself to keep indulging in my selfish pleasures.
Or they are predestined to become this way?
I think Romans chapters nine through eleven, taken as is, can give you more than any human or group has been teaching about this. But do not limit yourself to the predestination issue. But, for one example, I feed on how God's ways are
"past finding out" > Romans 11:33 >
Our Apostle Paul says that predestination is connected to God's ways which are
"past finding out" (Romans 11:33). But from this I see how
"God is love" and so the ways of real love are
"past finding out" ! ! !
I can submit to how God's love has me becoming and loving, and rest and ride in His ways, even if I can't figure them out, in sharing and caring as family with my lady friend and other Jesus people.
But if I take things into my own hands and try to use charm and intimidation and intelligence and control to get others to do what I want . . . these are ways which also make a psychopath tick.
