폭력의 시작, 전개 그리고 대안 = Violence: Its Beginning, Extending, and Control

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

It is difficult for us to accept the fact that violence is rampant, But the evidence for this prevalence of violence is overwhelming and scripture and human history repeatedly bear out this horrible fact. All humans are born not morally neutral but sinfully depraved and have the potential to violate and overpower the weak with behaviors and tongues. In addition to human depravity, another factor which makes violence predictable is the role of Satan and his demonic legions. If violence is widely distributed throughout all areas of society, we need to offer the possible measures. To work out a solution to violence, we try to consider anger and aggression linked closely with violence. These two factors are powerful energy that has destructive potential. While destructive anger and aggression move us toward dysfunction, creative anger and aggression move us toward wellbeing. Since our emotions and behaviors are tied to our hearts, helping involves targeting the root cause. Thus, it’s particularly important that we sketch out a spiritual way for healing. We stress the need of the spiritual necessity of healing including repentance and forgiveness as a integration of power and love. Repentance is an important part of the healing process and forgiveness is a essential mean to reconcile a offender to a victim.
