What about judging the person walking into the designer store? Maybe they themselves are near penniless, and are only going eye shopping.

Maybe. Appearances can be deceiving, I agree. Okay, so for more clarification, the people going in with other designer shopping bags from the other designer store next door, coming out with even more shopping bags stepping around the homeless person by the doorway.
Regardless, not saying hello, acting like they're not there, is an evil way to behave, imo. And it happens all the time.
Even that I wouldn't necessarily say is evil. For example, as someone called to serve the people of a particular neighborhood in Toronto, I concentrate my financial helping within that neighborhood. If I'm in another part of town, I'm likely to walk around homeless people, and I feel there's nothing wrong with that.
Sort of like being a bum walking into a church (of those pre-disposed to not thinking/anti-knowledge able) appearances cam make them think the bum is po' in a nasty way ... while E knows what heh needs ... some one who cares?
If you don't know any better would you car about what is wise in oppression ... Freud said such things could explode ... a repeat of Marx Philosophy as jotted down ... thus some believes it lies there ... it does if you don't crack the spine ... open de sƥooks given the ghost of the past speaks there ...
It is a sign of something unreal ... an abstraction?

Why the inconstistency? Why show Christ's love in your own backyard but not when you're visiting someone else's?
Called distance ... some use it for protection in others the greater Job is beyond their mortal abilities (as limited by haute orders from on high) ... the entire conception leads to reverse psyche or an upset sole ... reciprocal cognizance as up ended? Cunning linguistics ... much corrupted by rules on deisms ... deit -ism? Allows pseudonyms and metaphors in the process of hidden wisdom ...
I consistently help the people in the neighborhood I've been called to serve. I trust that others will help the people in their neighborhoods.
I disagree. We can't trust that. We should act when we can where we are. It doesn't cost anything to say hello, either, even if one can't afford to give money.
Any money I give to help in another neighborhood is money I won't be able to direct to help people in my neighborhood with. Thing is, I've been called to serve a particular neighborhood. I do agree that saying hello is good.
I understand having very limited resources to share. I can't give spare change to every homeless person who asks. Once, I did, then realized I'd given away my bus fare - and luckily the bus driver let me on for free (I had to "beg" for a ride) so it worked out. But lately I can't afford to give any money away. There are other ways to help, also. However, most of the time people appreciate if you just stop and chat for a minute and they know you see them and you care. But some just stare right past them. It's kind of cruel. Not kind of, it is.
After all religiously ... knowledge, in the unchosen, is considered a sin as it puts the numinous on the other end (chosen to rise) of the scales as disadvantaged ... thus the soil falls as star dust ... light particles from the effigy (ephi Je) or Christ's torch?
Sort of close to the Icarious legend ... more light into the pool ... a lo' end storage place with Moor Rheum for wisdom than in the peak experience ... did you know the upright is ET in Hebrew? It can be used substitutionary ally ... the back way as sneaking in a chitty shaft ... many of the powerful follow this trend ... consider negative polity. Sometimes these people need their donkeys cain 'd/canned ... thus corned beef? It is well contained and oppressed ... what do you think Moses carried a rod for? He beat into those people a rule of 10's nature without thought ... a powerful/Julian/jude'n thing eh?
Thus the depth of the myth is untested ... something we just don't know ... how to think things out! next step deire gi Zues ...

yes I see what you mean I was trying to point out no matter good we are we still commit evil
The good still commit evil. Do the evil ever do good? If so, what makes a person good blackbelt?

I'm evil but for the most part I do good , we'll strive for it anyhow , and when my strength fails me to do good regardless the situation I look to the cross to inspire me to continue I when I fail have a grace
Can an evil knowledge sometimes sprout something good considering that some stoics believe all knowledge evil ... that's one of god's quirks and quarks ... alas the opposite is sometimes good and thus some where in deep fundamentals there has to be something to learn ... a penetrated thought?

What a strange way to describe oneself. I'd be inclined to identify as basically good, with evil tendencies. And when I've indulged in them, I look for the path of forgiveness.

Same thing as mine as everyone else's heart we are a mixture of good and evil like st paul said ,the things I don't want to do, I do ,but the things I desire to do I don't do, all wretched man that I am. Our nature's double standard all of us
"Same thing as mine as everyone else's heart"!
Only god can see what's in a mortal heart ... it is limited to those beyond human as myth ... out there according to Pauli exclusion ... thus outlanders and fringe people as visionaries ... Prophets?
Allows severe turns ...

Greetings of peace be unto you dear family of believers,
Indeed you are a very special set of people... I have been looking at this thread and am deeply moved by how you guys (without anyone coercing you to do this) have taken it upon yourself to learn about another despite all the negative 'press' to say the least that they have been given. This bears testimony to your intrinsic goodness and your commitment to being upright people. I can say more... but will stop for brevity.
Yes actually my name is Jihad. Jihad comes from the root جهد (jahada) which literally means to exert effort.
(See Edward Lane lexicon: http://ejtaal.net/aa/#hw4=h181,ll=5...6,mht=136,msb=50,tla=39,amj=126,ens=1,mis=348)
In itself, it has no moral value. One can exert effort for the good or for the bad. In Islam, took this idea and has been cultivated and developed it into a belief that a Muslim (meaning one who is surrendered or at peace with God - for the root سلم - salama) is one that is one committed to stand against evil wherever it is found; and first within themselves yet never in isolation from their surrounding. Or said differently, a Muslim is one who is committed to spreading good in the widest possible circles. So is a true Christian as is my belief.
The use of armed confrontation is a matter of last resort and should be governed by godly leadership, far from being a political game for the pursuit of power. This being said, 'jihad' in the sense of taking arms against an undeterred oppressor or tyrant (ex. Hitler) is conditionally considered a holy act of courage, so long as it is in keeping with an number of specific constraints, all of which revolve around the pursuit of proximity to God and service to humanity. This is the essence of the matter. How human beings have practiced this needs another discussion.
I want to give a note of caution. There will always be those who for whatever reason fail to see the spirit of things and they will interpret and coerce other to interpret the religious texts in a manner that befits their understanding. This does not mean that the truth is lost. It just means that we are responsible to be active travelers in our own journey to the truth. Given, that we are amongst a family of faith, we can say that we believe that if we keep journeying we always arrive closer and closer with God's help. What is more, ultimately we will converge with other spectacular individuals who have been (struggling or doing inner jihad) in order to arrive also.
