Does this mean animals sin as well? Even uni-cellular organisms? Do plants sin? Because they all die as well, not just humans.
Why does an animal die if it doesn't know the moral difference between right and wrong?
Obviously, most people lack the spiritual understanding needed to "believe". The Holy Spirit will provide the answers. If one sincerely asks?
But no one cares to ask. It's easier to ignore any other purpose in life, but ones hedonism and pursuits of mockery and disdain for anything
or anyone with spritual aspirations.
How do mere, freewill, evil choosing humans become Divine and inherit the Kingdom of God?
*God the Father, Loves us that much! And, He would not let us go through anything that He (through the embodiment of Jesus) would not go through Himself.
Even though WE choose sin, He suffered the curse of death for it. This erases His original curse (that death was ONLY for those that sin). This act of Love opens the door again to eternal Life.... IF, we so choose to "believe" (there's that ugly word again!) in Jesus and His sacrifice for us.
His sacrifice only opens the door. It doesn't push us through it! That's still up to us to hear His word, live it and walk through....with our "wedding garments on". In other words, a clean soul.
That incredible, profound and unfathomable sacrifice is AMAZING! Thank you, Lord Jesus for dying for my sins and those of the whole world.
Amen
What ‘death’? When you’re an immortal being, getting nailed to some bits of wood and being up and about in three days isn’t much of a sacrifice. I’ve had head colds that lasted longer.
