I was talking to someone yesterday from church. They had mentioned that because I have a wicked sinful heart, that any and all external acts of benevolence to others was for nothing, and that I was still a terrible person at heart. The idea is that I am over compensating for being a terrible person by appearing to be nice. Essentially, his argument was that even though I had to be nice to him, I should never assume that the generosity will be recognized or awarded. This made me think, clearly me helping others is falling on deaf ears, which then makes me think why should I bother?

Well, this is an online forum, I didn't mean to be flippant, I was just saying "whatever," I won't be able to change your mind. (I know how strongly everyone feels about jews, and once something is connected to that it's hard to discuss things because it sometimes seems to unduly prejudice the thinking.)

My mind was changed back when I was 24 when God intervened in my self destruction.

As for the jews, they've appropriated a lot of stuff to themselves, it doesn't make it fundamentally wrong. I'm sure we agree on many things, I have to rush out the door, would be good to talk again.
