Ham: You have [[access]] to [[knowledge]] that others may not have and thus the [[temptation]] to show off this knowledge is even greater. It is [[human]] to want others to look up to you, to want [[flattery]] and even to wow or [[awe]] others with your knowledge. But this is not [[the Father]]'s way. The Father's way always thinks of the other person first. The Father's way takes into account that person's [[limitations]] and their limited [[exposure]] to higher [[truth]] and the Father seeks to love first and with that love comes [[understanding]]. The human way is to [[understand]] first, as much as it is possible in a [[limited]] way, and then decide whether that person is [[worthy]] of your love. The human way puts the [[self]] first, the [[divine]] way puts the self last. So even though you know more and [[understand]] the greater things of [[the kingdom]], you first love and understand, then you begin with the small things, imparting [[truth]] that fits that person's needs and denies or subjugates your own need to show off what you know or exalt yourself by overawing another's [[mind]].

Q: If all [[points of view]] are comprehensible or understandable and not to be [[condemned]], where is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitler Hitler]'s point of view or a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_killer serial killer]'s point of view fit into the [[picture]]?

Ham: Yes, the human mind of [[Jesus]] did not hesitate to point out the [[errors]] to other's thinking. But the [[divine]] mind of [[Jesus]] looks upon each child, the erring as well as the upright, as [[potentially]] great [[souls]] and the erring, if they are brought to [[understand]] their errors and to [[condemn]] those errors, in effect to [[repent]] and rehabilitate, those souls are [[inherently]] of [[equal]] [[value]] to those who are always upright and always seeking the Father's will. [[The Father]] also sees in these erring mortals all the [[causes]] for those errors, all the human [[frailty]] which brings about such colossal [[evil]]. The Father [[judges]] each [[soul]] on its [[intention]] and that is very different from judging on the [[consequences]] of [[actions]]. It is difficult, from a human [[standpoint]], to understand how the Father can [[forgive]] such colossal [[sin]], and yet the Father does so if that sinner is willing to [[repent]] of his sins. The human [[Free will|will]] is always [[supreme]] in deciding the [[ultimate]] fate of each human being. Is this helping your understanding.
