No, Jesus sought out those possessed with devils and cast them out.More evil is done in the name of seeking out evil and destroying it than with any other motivation that I can think of.
I think it was the people possessed by demons that sought out Jesus not the other way around.No, Jesus sought out those possessed with devils and cast them out.
We identify evil, by educating ourselves as to what's going on in the world, AND IN OUR PERSOAL LIVES, then expose it, and see it for what it is, denounce it (repent), rebuke it and send it back to hell where it came from.
Man cannot be saved in ingnorance.

Friedrich Nietzsche said:Battle ye not with monsters, lest ye become a monster yourself
Jesus of Nazareth said:How can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove that splinter from your eye,' while the wooden beam is in your eye? You hypocrite, remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother's eye.
Jesus identified the evils and the evil people of his time, so that his followers would not be harmed, and they would know who and what to avoid.Fine, here's some evil for you: Darfur. Continuing violence in Iraq and Afghanistan. The North Koreans blasting off rockets capable of carrying nuclear warheads. Increased unemployment in the United States. The ratio of shelter beds to homeless people meaning that hundreds of thousands of people in the richest country in the world have to sleep in the cold and the rain. Children going without access to medical care in the same country. A decreasing supply of potable water in the world.
Pick any one of these to discuss and publicize, and I guarantee you that you will do more good than you would with a thousand "Is (public figure who caught my attention) the Antichrist?" threads.
For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in;
Feeding the hungry does just that, it feeds the hungry, but they still are not educated and cannot be saved in that condition.Yes, I do. Directly. And paying money to these things is fine, but it's the modern equivalent of paying indulgences. Get out there and work at it if you're worried about evil. Fight evil itself, not some personification that you've come up with through shoddy evidence and a paranoid mindset.
Focus on the belly and you'll get just that, an oversized belly.Way to focus on a single point and ignore every other word in the post.

It's better to feed their minds with the Fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, than to feed their bellys.
I've done both, I spent two years as a full time LDS missionary in Tokyo, Yokohama, Kawasaki and Fuji City, Japan, I've paid a percentage of ALL my income my whole life to the poor and needy, etc.
Doctrine and Covenants 131: 6
It is impossible for a man to be saved in ignorance.
Isaiah 49: 10
They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them.
Matthew 5: 6
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
John 6: 35
And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
I do all those other things Bryson, this is only one aspect of my life.Still missing the point.
I do that Bryson, more than you know.Good! Keep doing that. I have no problem with preaching with your mouth while your serve food with your hands. However, remember that you cannot eat a Bible or Book of Mormon, and while we're waiting to see what happens in the afterlife, it's probably a good idea to take care of each other to the best of our abilities.

Whoever actively fights against Christ and his principles, is an antichrist.No he didn't he talked smack about people he didn't like and paid for it. You do the same thing, you demonize and call thing you hate Satanic and people Anti-Christ....Get over yourself.
