Thanks, Elder Yong. Obedience to God's Word is what is lacking in me and i believe some Christians today. Sometimes, the most profound knowledge we can gain are often the most basics..
Yup, how about man-eaters in the past? There is the case where people used to eat people in the past, i.e. during the cave man period, right?
That is for sure, not ethnical. How can we then say that man is better in the past if we says that man is deteriotating in character as in now?
My own understanding is that caveman ate man in the past is because they do not study and have no education to guide them as to what is right or wrong ( or do we need this in the first place?) .. they do all things in order to survive.
Now, however, people are mostly highly educated, but as can be seen, the more educated people are, it is definitely NOT the case that crime rates or bad character is decreasing in numbers. In fact, increased due to the thirst for power or status.
It's like knowing the law and breaking it and not knowing the law but breaks it. There is a verse in Romans that says this, right?
Like to hear you views regarding this. Thanks.
God Bless,
