#9 A Recreational Climb

In this DLC like sub-series I'd like to tackle more popular questions about Jesus' existence influencing or pertaining to politics.

Before going into full poltics I want to establish today's subject, which I wanted to research the popular question, "How could Jesus die, but bad things still happen today?"

The Research

“Twisted morals are a breeding ground for chaos”

Frank Turek says it best when he says "If God were to get rid of all of the bad things in this world, he'd probably start with you and me." God created a perfect world; All of the animals were in a mode of peace rather a mode of predator and prey, Humans had no shame, and there were no natural disasters. Unfortunately because we decided to go against God, we cursed the earth, gave birth to the horrendous food chain of animals, and simultaneously became the most evil, wretched creatures on the planet.

Just sit and think for a second. Do you really think hate, dishonesty, and the continued yearn for sexual pleasure are your best, most admirable traits? Why do our parents have to "correct our behavior"? "Well... were born that way". EXACTLY. That's my point. If a family that inbred for centuries all of a sudden just started having genetically normal children and failed to create any abominations, would you not bat an eye? So is the sad nature of humanity.

Sin, our nature, will never dissipate from our species. It will fail to be dealt with through the corrupt governments, imperfect justice systems, and our heavily divided culture. In summary, we are the most vile creatures on this planet. Republican or Democrat, Liberal or Conservative. If God were to rid this world of evil, he'd start with You.

“Motive runs the world”

So when Jesus died for the sins of the world. He didn't get rid of sin because we are sinful or "Full of sin". God gave us a free will to choose between him and sin. As we've learned he won't force us to choose him. He wants genuineness from everyone. When we get to heaven, he'll be able to remove our sins and the yearn for sin without violating our free will because choosing to follow him on earth proved that we understood the severity and dark implications of it, which of course we did not want. Therefore, in simpler terms, not wanting sin now will lead you to be in a place without sin. Giving no care in the world about sin and God will lead you to a place where God isn't and there is all of the sin you want, but with a catch.

God controls light... I mean, he made it. In Hell, because God will remove his presence (2 Thessalonians 1:9) from there, that means light will go too. So does, the nice or "in our standards" bad air, life, good temperatures, food, water, fun, etc. The only thing in Hell will be your memories of Earth, and the flesh on your body burning at max sensitivity. Hell is described more harshly in the Bible, but that's just a glimpse of what it's like. (Revelation 21:8, Mark 9:43, Revelation 14:11, Matthew 13:50)

Carole Hawkins says "That’s the reason God tells us to seek him “while he may be found,” which is while we are here on earth. People wonder why God doesn’t prove himself. He doesn’t have to. He owes no justification to man. It is for man’s own benefit to believe without seeing. He has said that his followers will be “blessed” because we will “see him.” He has not lost anything because someone refuses to believe. Jesus says that God is able to create children of Abraham from the stones. So, God places our decision to follow him in our own hands."

God leaves sin around to allow us to have free will and choose the right thing to do.

The Process

Today was tough. I spent about an hour looking for information,I watched this video, and went to crossexamined.org a lot to research. It was tiring!
