Does Right Preaching and Action Change Groups or Does it Just Change the Christians who Hear and Do the Righteousness
Do you think that the application of goodness to individuals in a group hardens that group to evil?
For instance, has the profession of soldiering been somewhat (more than natural) hardened against the corruption of evil by the generations of preaching and preaching's consequent action that 1) enemies should be treated with goodness in general, and 2) the authority with the sword should be obeyed, because he is God's servant to reward righteousness and punish evildoers?
Or is the only useful effect applied to those Christians who preach and believe the preaching to do it, for instance, to respect the soldier or police officer with an expectation that they will do right?
Are evil spirits that would affect the Worldlings in those positions or groups affected by the Christians' infusing of righteous action into those groups and positions, such that the groups are not as affected by those evil spirits as they would be without the Christians' acts, or do only we Christians benefit from our actions?
If both, then what kind of split is the benefit? 85/15? 3/2? 1/1?

Tell everyone what you think. Go on, it might be useful to someone; maybe even to a dear sibling in our same Master and Savior, Jesus, God's Christ. Huh? ..may-be .
