For your consideration:
I wonder if man’s continuous struggles in his political and social life are bound to his own vain and futile efforts to throw off the shackles of mortal life, those fruits of the fall from the original first garden in Genesis, to live as though original sin had never existed, in a perfect man-made paradise? We are public and private beings however, in our faith in Christ, who though should will the good of others, should know that man still is held to God’s divine accountability and graces and our own will as they determine our salvation, giving to God what is God’s and giving to Caesar what is Caesar’s.
Man desires that there is not God or to create God in his own image.
Man desires the pleasures of the flesh without a bond to another person.
Man desires a beneficent state, which requires little work from him.
Man desires women, and the pleasures of women with marriage.
Man refuses to he fruitful with women and denies the fruits of sexual.
Man thus covets, fornicates, commits adultery, contracepts, aborts and divorces.
Man desires to abolish God and to create his own rules for living.
The entire state of man seems to be either an acceptance of God’s Love, Word, Truth and hope of redemption after the fall in the Garden in Genesis or one that denies that state of being a fallen creation, a mere man of flesh, a sentient being created in the image and likeness of God and yet mortal and failing, impermanent and momentary.
Our story begins in the Garden, with our fall from grace and ends either with Christ, who by his Father’s perfect will, gives His Son on the Cross in suffering and victory over death or ends with our denial of God and Christ and the Cross.
It shall never be a perfect world. We have a perfect offer for a perfect eternity however.
Do not all our problems and graces as man come from the acceptance of truth versus the embracing of a cold non-reality?
