The Bible says humans are not designed to direct their own step. Jeremiah 10:23.
I find the ^ above ^ is why God will have Jesus 'step in', so to speak, to rid the Earth of the wicked - Psalms 145:20; Psalms 37:38
People when they look in a mirror I find see an image of their physical appearance.
Yup. I agree with you. What a wonderful thing to know!
Thank you for mentioning all that. Especially about Jesus' self-sacrificing love. And, of course, he fulfilled the commandment to love God with one's whole being.
That's just pessimism. So we all don't live up to "the better angels of our nature" (as Abraham Lincoln put it) or our calling as Divine emissaries and so damn humanity? I don't think so. We all fail at times, but many of us are trying to fix things and shine a light in the darkness, imperfect as we are.
Well no one's perfect and all things come to an end. Yeah I think he's looking down, chilling, thinking I did a pretty good job. Or I suppose he could be thinking maybe I should've made them like aliens With green skin and looking the same and that they only needed air to live.
Well we're evolving. Maybe the day will come when we will have evolved into perfection. who knows!
It could be argued that we are evolving in the wrong direction. When we lived in small clans of hunter-gatherers, everyone had to cooperate and share, to survive. Selfishness wasn't an option. To put your own well-being above that of the clan would have been both irrational, and counter-productive. But as we humans gained in understanding of our environment, and in our ability to exploit it to our own material advantage, hoarding and hedging against an unknown future became an option, and so did the idea of looking out for #1. It seems that the more we humans have, the less inclined we are to share it. To the point, now, where selfishness is a primary motive. Cooperation has turned into competition. And we have all become each other's enemy.
Mankind alone will not be able to fix things. Please read what is in the future, as foretold in the book of Revelation, chapter 11:18 -- New Living Translation
Yes that's a possibility too.
I didn't say that. I don't think God goes around "destroying" people, either. I actually don't think Revelation should be quoted much at all since no one really knows what the hell it means.
That is what the Bible says. That scripture is clear to those with eyes and heart to get it. It's also clear to many, including atheists or agnostics, that this world is doomed.
Mankind will not, cannot, solve its own problems, many of which are caused by men themselves.
I don't know why you keep repeating yourself. I said I didn't say humans will solve our problems by ourselves.
