	Benevolence Article
		Benevolence is defined as the disposition to do good; good will; charitableness; love of mankind accompanied with the desire to promote man's happiness.

		In times past the word and especially church benevolence were meant to include the good things a church (as a body of believers in one location) could do to help those in their community and surrounding areas.

	The Virtues of Benevolence and Tolerance - Objectivist Living Forum
		In a society so bad that we are not justified in extending considerable benevolence to unknown or insufficiently known people and holding a tolerant view of ideas until we have carefully examined them, we should become hermits and retire from the society.
		Without such a benevolent approach, it will in fact be much more difficult to get to know them, since they will reasonably be loath to entertain our company and unwilling to confide their thoughts to us.
		Because benevolence allows us to maximize the benefits of interactions with other good people and because most of the value of people is the result of their having good ideas, benevolence and toleration are closely tied together.

	Benevolence: Relationship to The Church (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		A home is the tool by which benevolence is enacted (the purchase of goods and services), whereas a missionary society is an association of churches which through its central governing body dictates to member churches.
		The way in which benevolence is to be administered is no more specified in Scripture than does Scripture specify where a congregation is to meet for worship (unless one believes the saints are obligated to meet in an upper room, Acts 20:7-12).
		If it be objected that the church may exhaust it funds through benevolence and therefore the Christian individual should practice benevolence, the same irrational objection would apply to individual Christians--who in turn would be destitute themselves and unable to contribute to the church.

	Introduction to Unrugged Individualism
		Rand wrote an essay on one aspect of benevolence, the help one should give to strangers in an emergency, but neither she nor any of her followers and interpreters produced a systematic philosophical analysis of benevolence in general, as an everyday attitude toward living with other people in society.
		Chapter 2 examines the relationship between benevolence and altruism, contrasting Ayn Rand's view with that of conventional morality and posing the question whether benevolence is a major or a minor virtue.

	THE BENEVOLENCE OF GOD by Charles G. Finney
		God was benevolent from eternity, but He has not acted in execution of his benevolent designs from eternity--He has not eternally put forth creative power, for if He had done so, there would be created things as old as Himself, which is impossible.
		But being a benevolent being, He always has one intention, and that a benevolent one; and He is always guided by the same infinite wisdom, therefore his virtue is always one and the same; it is never diminished and can never be increased.
		The fact that God is a benevolent being, appears to me to be a most cogent argument in favor of the doctrine of a temporal millenium, the result of which will be the conversion of the majority of men.

	David Padfield / Mac Deaver Debate On Limited Benevolence
		The propositions were: "The Scriptures teach that a local church may grant benevolent aid to alien sinners." Mac Deaver affirmed that this is a true statement.

	The Thrasher-Jackson Debate on Church Benevolence
		Jackson was vague about whether benevolence was a "peculiarly religious act" but he argued that the KKK did other things so the church could not give to it.
		Thrasher argued that Jackson believed in limited benevolence, but the difference was Thrasher limited it to what the Spirit says to the churches.
		Thrasher asked where does the Bible say benevolence is to "honest people only," or "poor only," or "workers only" or "non-enemies only." Thrasher vigorously argued that Matthew 5:43-48 includes enemies, the just and unjust and sinners under God's law of love, but that Jackson's misapplication of the passage to church benevolence excluded them.
