Mankind civilized?
“Not until the creation and maintenance of decent conditions of life for all men are recognized and accepted as a common obligation of all men and all countries—not until then shall we, with a certain degree of justification, be able to speak of mankind as civilized.” Albert Einstein.
I do not think mankind can do things on its own. Take a look at the world around you. There is violence in the streets of every major city. People are murdered daily. People rob, and cheat other people of money and belongings daily.
It doesn’t seem to matter how strict the laws are people still break them.
Around the world we can see terrorist who are killing people on an industrial scale without fear. Death means nothing to them. Fear of reprisal by governments mean nothing.
God in all of this is left out of the picture. Those who commit crimes be they terrorist or the average person on the street have no fear of God and eternal punishment.
In a previous post I quoted Ecclesiastes who said,
“Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.
For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.” Ecclesiastes12:13,14.
Today in 2016 many in our society have no fear of God. Society in general is slipping away from God’s absolute morals and setting their own standards.
The way I see it mankind, should it continue on its present course, is slipping toward a lake filled with brimstone from which it cannot escape.
We need to return to the moral absolutes of God.
Please think about it.
