Good Intentions

I believe that most intentions do matter. If you’re a good person and you have good intentions, but it goes bad, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the person was bad. I don’t think the preacher is bad; he just feels responsible for Thomas because he’s the one that baptized him, and now both his parents are dead so maybe their religion requires for an adult to take responsibility. I think the preacher should look at the whole situation and take precaution to how the boy is going to react.


I actually think actions are more important than intentions. The reason I think that is because actions are what affects other people. I know that sounds selfish, but most people react from other’s actions, not intentions.


“Man punishes the action, but God the intention.” I think that it’s saying that people only notice actions not intentions. God knows what is meant, and how it went wrong. (If it did) In the end I think it will be God’s call anyways.

I got to say honestly, that your right. People over all got see and react from outside of the box instead of getting dragged in to it. Now a days thats all we see, we don't take the time to relax from all this drama and stress. We need to take a look and act on what we really would do if this was our position.

This is good, i like the whole it's Gods call. Sometimes the outcome is bad but it shouldn't matter as long as you have a good intention.
