"O, best of beings, of a subtle mind, propitious hear to holy pray'rs inclin'd; The sacred rites benevolent attend, and grant a blameless life, a blessed end." -Orpheus, addressing Time
People who are naïve and have never experienced the pain of being backstabbed tend to approach life with a sunny disposition even though human history is rife with bloodshed and horror. I think we should operate with courtesy as a default value while also bearing in mind the capacity for evil.
It astonishes me that this even needs to be said. I had thought such a thing was self-evident. Humanity is inherently predisposed to evil and has to be taught to be good. Whenever you look at someone misbehaving, no matter how petty or egregious, whether it's a murderer or someone simply being an asshole to the cashier at the store, we all know the reason why, and we always remark on it. "There's someone who has never been told 'no' before," "there's someone who never got disciplined as a child," "that person had no authority figures growing up." If you don't discipline and teach a child to be good, he will naturally gravitate towards evil. This is the whole reason we have law enforcement, why we punish misbehaving children, and why even the best, most disciplined, most well-behaved person will _still_ commit evil in his life. Evil is in our nature. To believe otherwise is pure insanity.
I think the problem that we are facing its the opposite of that. people had lived so much arround good behaving and order ruling people, that they are forgetting our true nature. A lot of recent ideas has a lot to be with it. Let it be the idea of banning guns or the feminism, or the tolerance towards mass migration in europe, seem to have forgotten this fundamental fact. and they are simply not ready to face reality when it hits them back. They tend to believe that the order and prosperity we live now is the natural order of things, and thus, something like the homicides, are caused in something turning people evil. From that perspective, feminism e.g. makes a lot of sense. Thats why a vast majority of good natured people tend to propose pottentially harmful theories. Its not their values that are wrong, its their assumpssions that are mistaken
There is no "sin" as we understand it. We are born to behave as we do. But we have to find a way to transcend our human thoughts and feelings because they separate us from the protection of "God" and bring us our sicknesses and miseries. When we have learnt how to transcend the selfhood/personality (humanhood) we will create Heaven on Earth. What is born and nurtured in the distorted mind eventually takes on form in the physical world. This is NOT punishment from "God" as religious teachers may teach us. It is, a SCIENTIFIC FACT OF EXISTENCE. Therefore, there is no "punishment" from on high! There is no such thing as "punishment from "God"-because no such individualized "human thinking" God exists. This is a myth which should be erased from people's minds. Humankind, through the willful and harmful exercise of the selfhood/personality (humanhood), draw to themselves their own punishment. All that man does which man calls "sin" is only of this world and is only punished within this world - because it is the Law of Earthly Existence, as you know, that whatever you sow you will reap as a like harvest. Because man draws LIFE and MIND from "God," man himself is creative in thoughts, words and deeds. Whatever man thinks, says, does and believes, returns to him in like form. Therefore, there is no punishment from "God"-whatever ills come to humankind is of their own making entirely. "SIN" is the direct result of the interplay of the Bonding-Rejection Impulses within human nature. The Bonding-Rejection Impulses constituted the emotional/mental mask worn by all created individual entities, including birds and animals. You see these impulses at work within all of nature-even within plant life. The Bonding-Rejection Impulses directed/directs the behavior towards survival of all entities in creation. There is no escaping the Bonding-Rejection Impulses. These Twin Impulses are the ephemeral source of all "worldly" comfort, pleasure, "happiness"-and also the source of all sicknesses, miseries and deprivations in the world. "SIN" is an artificial concept expediently devised by men to describe any human activity causing pain to others. Because of their natural make-up of "grabbing" from other people, and of rudely repelling them, in order to get what they want from life, it was inevitable that all human beings will, at some time, cause other human beings some form of distress or suffering. This human propensity to hurt others in no way caused "offense" to UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS (what many call "God," "Allah," "Jehovah"-etc)-as affirmed by the Jewish and "Christian" religion. Only humankind understood the meaning of the word "sin" since only humankind and all of "creation subject to humankind," "will ever know the pain, deprivation and misery caused by the two fundamental IMPULSES of INDIVIDUALITY/PERSONALITY-Bonding-Rejection active within the humanhood. Therefore, it was man's inbuilt impulse to protect his own individuality/personality (humanhood) that made him set up rules and laws for human society. The "Universal Creative Power"-UNCONDITIONAL LOVE-had absolutely NOTHING to do with the setting up of human restrictions, limitations, laws and judgement. While INFINITE UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS is NOT the mythical "God" as depicted in the Old Testament, IT is the Infinitely Powerful Reality everywhere present, manifesting ITS own designing, intelligent, evolutionary, loving caring for all that IT has brought into being.
What we do to farmed animals alone is indicative of how evil we are. Indifference is evil. Failing to care about how your actions caused suffering to others IS evil. And this is just one example that most people are guilty of.
@pmscalisi when we look at creation, we see death and suffering. Lions killing zebras to satisfy their hunger, children dying of hunger etc. This is not how God originally created the world. There was no death or suffering in The Garden of Eden. But when mankind sinned everything changed. Death, suffering, evil is everywhere. But we who believe in Jesus' atoning work for us on Calvary's cross have this hope: one day there will be a new heaven and earth and the Bible tells us the lion will lie down with the lamb.No more death and suffering. Regarding whether or not plants have feelings, I look to the Bible for answers. Before mankind's fall from grace, God told Adam and Eve that they could eat of every plant they wanted except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. So in Eden, which was perfect, God said it was fine to eat plants. I don't believe God would've given mankind permission to eat plants if they had feelings, if they suffered.
Yes indeed, the way we treat animals intended for consumption is evil. God gave us dominion over nature, but that came with the responsibility to be good stewards of it. As with all things, we have fallen short of the mark.

I don't know if I am getting you right...but if you mean than evil is a come and go behaviour, hence is not a nature, then we might say the same of goodness. This pattern proves on the contrary that we are evil rather than refuting
@@japhetkong4088 Behavior can be evil. But you are not evil by nature. If you were, you could not choose otherwise. He did not claim you are good by nature either. You are a clean slate. You can choose good or evil. You can behave good today and evil tomorrow. You can never defy your nature.
@@benvoiles9166 the problem is that, the evil you do, wipes out any good you do. if you were good, you'd be good ALL the time. but none of us are, or can. we may be Free to do it, but we don't choose it all the time. which makes us worse, because we know we should do good, but still do evil. we seem to have this idea that we have some set of scales and if we do enough good, that it means we are good, but thats an incorrect view. true goodness, is never doing any evil at all, ever. in our actions, in our thoughts. but we can't do that, we are free to do it, no one is stopping us, but we don't do it. we choose to do evil, and the fact that we do any evil, is evil. we are not a clean slate, it just seems like we are.
@@justinm4497you make one of the best points I have ever heard. It is a false equivalence between the statements “We can choose and choose evil sometimes. Therefore we are inherently evil.” and “We can choose and choose good sometimes. Therefore we are inherently good.” The fact that we can choose and choose evil at all makes us inherently evil, because if we were inherently good, we would know better. That would make us even more evil to know better, yet still choose evil. But, we are claiming that we don’t know better, because we are claiming we are not inherently good. Would not the statement that “we are inherently evil, yet choose to do good.” then constitute the exact opposite and argue that if we were inherently evil, choosing to do good at all would be so amazing that it would make us inherently good? How do we consolidate these?
True! And we'll never win because we are battling our self, 'evil is like a cancer that has festured all throughout the body'. The cure can only come from outside, and need to bring a total not a partial change. Christianity only, offers this
Why is it that the comment section of every Jordan Peterson video has a bunch of people spouting pseudo-philosophical nonsense that often doesn't even relate to the topic of the video itself?
😂 Am joking... Apart from self proclaimed phylosopher u'v pointed, peterson comment section to me are the best, for you'll find people with different and usually contradicting opinion. Which shows the mans influence

What is evil? One who does wrong...suggesting that we are imperfect prove u know and sense there is a perfection that u and I drift from and aught not to be. And that is what is called evil. So man is evil
@@japhetkong4088 So, misspelling is evil? You’ve written it down incorrectly… is that evil? No. That’s imperfection. As a disciple of Christ, only God is good (Mark 10:18). The definition of evil is: profound immorality. The term, “profound” means: Very great or intense. Was Jesus good or, evil when he died on the cross? When he’d died, he was severed from God and all of the sins of the world was within Him. No. He was still doing as His Father had wished and His sacrifice made everyone have a chance at salvation. Would God do this if all humanity was evil- no. Because, if he did; Satan would be saved as well and, none of what Jesus said or did would matter. Jesus coming to Earth would have no meaning. We are flawed but, not evil. In God’s eyes, we are worth saving. If you don’t believe in God, I’d say that; the fact that so many flock towards kindness, empathy, and supportiveness disproves your statement. We love, we protect, we save others. We still have enough of that in us (as a majority). So, that proves you wrong as well.
@@japhetkong4088 I think you need to reassess your definition of evil. You are suggesting evil is simply imperfection. I doubt anyone else agrees with this definition.
Selfishness is the root of all evil. And humanity is selfish by default. Therefore, humanity is evil by default. It is easier to be selfish than it is to sacrifice self in order to be of service. That takes effort and practice.

Human beings have the capacity for both good and evil. And each one of us battles the temptation to do evil each day within our own souls. I think that's true, and I'm an atheist.
You are right...but there is also another thing that happen, it is a consious telling us we ought to do the right thing, which we go against at times. Now this proves that we are evil, for we do what is against a law in us.The scale for good and evil in a human is not neutral at default, but tilted fully at good. Then humans cause we are evil, tilt the scale against our conscious on the evil side
@@laaaliiiluuuI think we're talking about our conscience. That voice inside us that tells us not to do something, yet we do it anyway. That comes from God. If it's consciousness we're talking about, our self awareness that enables us to reflect on the human condition, again: that comes from God. Edit: it doesn't come from our conditioning or social brainwashing as you call it. There is a God shaped vacuum inside us all which only God can fill. There are natural wonders in the world that could not have originated from impersonal matter plus time plus chance. Only a personal intelligent designer (God!) could have bought such a complex universe into being, and sustain it.
Don't speak for everyone haha, I certainly don't battle the temptation to do evil each day... Occasionally, when pushed to my limit, but how often does that really happen?
The revelatory human authority is to become a god among men. If you read the sappy odes written to these human gods it truly was worship. I would rather have been with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace than listen to such obsequious bilge. Within the authoritarian structure, the most sociopathic monster gets to the top: Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Castro, Che Guevara, and Hitler. Yes, Hitler belongs to the same class of monsters that climbed to the top of a totalitarian system. The variations of ideologies that build totalitarian systems are irrelevant because they end up in the same place: sociopathic indulgence of murdering masses of people.
The start of the video had me questioning when the guy lived in the Transvaal (Zuid Afrika), but I guess he’s not really referring to the truly best country to have ever existed
Humans Animals Plsnts Minerals The things people are digging up are the remains of offspring born of humans copulating with animals. None of those creatures survived. All the bloodlines are pure human.
What's your definition of evil? Is it closer to having any negative thoughts or emotions? Or, a willful intent to harm, destroy, steal or control others in a meaningful way. If you want to make the definition evil so vague as to assign any negative thought as evil, then the word evil has no meaning. There are definitely people who have never acted to harm, destroy, steal or control others in a meaningful way. I hope you have not gone through life without meeting one. of@@smelltheglove2038
I'm from Oklahoma and I vouch for where Jack mentions people being ready to talk in truth. When I post on my facebook feed to non-church going folks the echo chamber dissappears; however when posting to a Christian group conversation many people are ready to talk, question or conflict my points!
Anyone contemplating the ultimate selfishness, either never had an inkling of unconditional love, or lost the ideology. Don’t expect love from those who don’t need it. The healthy find faith a most pressing need for life. Through this they find a purpose for hell.
@@japhetkong4088 Ending one’s own life. Sorry, I’m changing angles. Based on the blessing/prophecy,Abraham gave Isaac. If the main purpose for a church is not offering an escape from guilt, regret and shame that occurs through natural instinct, (youth). And support for the family that comes from this blessing. With this vision being there for the great, great, grands of current children, then they will most certainly be subjected to the prophecies written by nomadic men, who never committed their lives to love, to and from women. Seeing the sacrifices and love the mother gave the children they shared.
True , true!! It goes further to say that man inherently chooses evil even though this is going against the law inside them. This hence proving man to be evil
Obey the Laws of Moses, to Perfection.... we cant.... because we are evil. Free to choose between good or evil... do good All the time... every day, every thought you have, everything you do. always, every day... can't do it can you?? even if you do more good than evil, thats not good enough, actually it makes you worse, because by doing any good at all, you show you have knowledge, the knowledge that you ought to do good, but still do evil, so we are even more guilty. we may be free to choose good or evil, but we choose evil.. you're understanding of good and evil is flawed. but I can't fault you, its been taught that way for a long time, seems to be a cycle the church goes through. a good 2000 yrs of church history and it isn't taught anywhere. the good or the bad. that should scare you deeply. and anyone who reads this.
One of the greatest story's told on screen is the Star Was saga, and it wouldn't count as a chapter title comparable to the story told in the Bible. The story of God's love makes everything else meaningless.
GOD THE FATHER CANNOT DIE; JESUS DIED FOR US: God cannot die. Everyone who was created by God will go through an exchange from death to eternal life or from death to eternal damnation. Jesus died for the sins of the world and was raised by God's power and spirit alone. Those who say Jesus is God are blaspheming against the Father who gave Jesus life (John 5:26). No man has seen God the Father; his Son hath declared him (John 1:18). The Son speaks on behalf of the Father (John 7:17), for he is the image of the invisible God and the *firstbegotten from the dead* (Col 1:15-19). He gave his Son all power in heaven and earth, for everything that the Son has was given to him by his Father and his God (John 20:17). And he also gave his Son so that we may learn of Him, the glory of the one true God (John 17:3). For without the Father, there would be no means of salvation in Jesus Christ (John 8:28-29). Repent, and God will forgive.
1 Timothy 4:10 - The New International Version (NIV) 10 That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe. 1 Cor 15:22 for even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all shall be made alive
This guy has some interesting points but he falls short Claiming atheism is “an idiotic belief system” while simultaneously saying that we can’t go from “chaos” to “order”, while not understanding that those are subjective and meaningless terms. The order that is our universe is no less chaotic than what a universe with no “guidance” would look like. This also reveals he doesn’t understand what atheism actually is. Atheism is not a “belief system”, just like not believing in the leprechaun at the end of a rainbow isn’t a “belief system”. He then explains how he reached his faulty conclusion that god is the creator: we don’t know -> therefore god.
Idiotic is not kind, but I believe he is trying to prove how atheism is not true. One of those fact is the one he stated of human being evil. So human cannot be evil if there is no universal law in us that raises this truth. And if there is a law, then there is a law giver , hence showing that atheism might not be in accordance with reality. Check Tim keller or John lennox or more so CS Lewis for he was atheist and i believe you'll get your answers if you really want them
You misinterpreted Marx. Marx simply intended to reteach the old communal values which Masculinity lost during the first British Industrial Revolution. Immanuel Kant opposed the devaluation of much of this, Karl Marx inherited much of these views. Inalienable rights promoted by Marx has nothing to do with Religion. Why then do those who believe in Islam of Muhammad embrace much of Marxist Philosophy? Ho Chi Ming was brilliant but naïve, his thought overcoming the sickness of Marxist Leninist deception. How is it that many Christians or those others who believe in the power of a god find solace in the works of Marxist inception? The works of Karl Marx, as so many claim, is not the antidote to the still prevailing British Imperialist power which has been promoted through American Eugenics in the past and the Scientific Racism that influenced American Politics before the Second World War? How then do we explain American Despotism? The American bane of the world that hurts the African countries, exploits the rich and desensitizes the Poor of the World into individualist cruelty through their Globalist Imperialism. Mr. Peterson, you are a fellow Canadian who should know these truths for they are dangers, and always will be since the 1930s, to our Canadian Sovereignty and Ontario's legacy.
Compare and contrast the dominions of Adam, Cain, and Jesus. Compare the story of the Tower of Babel with Jesus in Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians. See what Paul says about human nature, law-breaking, and departure from God - and then, Jesus's redemption of mankind. Jesus is called King, Master, and Reconciler (a political term in the Greco-Roman world).

I'm still a deist and don't have a conflict with Jesus because I believe he taught that. Through the ages all the manifestations of the Melchizedek have endured persecution.
You either believe he is God or he is a lunetic. Jesus offers no other options, not even that of a good teacher. So no, you cannot be a deist and believe in Jesus
We are all being fooled by religion and science. We have been fooled to believe in Faith and evidence based beliefs. All beliefs are personal. Beliefs help us answer life's mysteries and sufferings. For me, I believe in a creator (s), but I don't believe in the gods taught by Christianity and other religions. No one has ever seen God or heard any supreme beings, so why are we fooling ourselves with all the religions on this planet. It is our nature to believe in something better, bigger and wiser than us to give us an edge to our competitors. For example, Christianity believes they are the true religion like what other religions are saying to Christianity. Finally, all religion is a form of control and power like government systems.
How do u kow something is wrong? U test it. And in this case you test it with reality. So put to the test any gods u may believe with reality to see if they are true...
Start by testing the god you believe in with evil...what does your god say about it, does it accord with reality, and how does he deal with the reality of evil. This man believes in christianity for it a accords with reality better that any beliefs he has encountered
He mentioned “with no closed second” to the Bible being the most read book. Which I do agree. However, there are people that believe that the Book of Mormon is as important and needs to be read as much as the bible by every person because is a second testament of Jesus Christ. @jordanbpeterson have you ever read the Book of Mormon just out of curiosity and if you have would you make a video on your thoughts about it?

If you don't discipline and teach a child to be good, he will naturally gravitate towards evil. This is the whole reason we have law enforcement, why we punish misbehaving children, and why even the best, most disciplined, most well-behaved person will _still_ commit evil in his life. Evil is in our nature. To believe otherwise is pure insanity.

These Twin Impulses are the ephemeral source of all "worldly" comfort, pleasure, "happiness"-and also the source of all sicknesses, miseries and deprivations in the world.
"SIN" is an artificial concept expediently devised by men to describe any human activity causing pain to others. Because of their natural make-up of "grabbing" from other people, and of rudely repelling them, in order to get what they want from life, it was inevitable that all human beings will, at some time, cause other human beings some form of distress or suffering. This human propensity to hurt others in no way caused "offense" to UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS (what many call "God," "Allah," "Jehovah"-etc)-as affirmed by the Jewish and "Christian" religion.
Only humankind understood the meaning of the word "sin" since only humankind and all of "creation subject to humankind," "will ever know the pain, deprivation and misery caused by the two fundamental IMPULSES of INDIVIDUALITY/PERSONALITY-Bonding-Rejection active within the humanhood.
Therefore, it was man's inbuilt impulse to protect his own individuality/personality (humanhood) that made him set up rules and laws for human society. The "Universal Creative Power"-UNCONDITIONAL LOVE-had absolutely NOTHING to do with the setting up of human restrictions, limitations, laws and judgement.
While INFINITE UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS is NOT the mythical "God" as depicted in the Old Testament, IT is the Infinitely Powerful Reality everywhere present, manifesting ITS own designing, intelligent, evolutionary, loving caring for all that IT has brought into being.
What we do to farmed animals alone is indicative of how evil we are. Indifference is evil. Failing to care about how your actions caused suffering to others IS evil. And this is just one example that most people are guilty of.
Plants have feelings, also and look what we do to them.
@pmscalisi when we look at creation, we see death and suffering. Lions killing zebras to satisfy their hunger, children dying of hunger etc. This is not how God originally created the world. There was no death or suffering in The Garden of Eden. But when mankind sinned everything changed. Death, suffering, evil is everywhere. But we who believe in Jesus' atoning work for us on Calvary's cross have this hope: one day there will be a new heaven and earth and the Bible tells us the lion will lie down with the lamb.No more death and suffering.
Regarding whether or not plants have feelings, I look to the Bible for answers. Before mankind's fall from grace, God told Adam and Eve that they could eat of every plant they wanted except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. So in Eden, which was perfect, God said it was fine to eat plants. I don't believe God would've given mankind permission to eat plants if they had feelings, if they suffered.
Yes indeed, the way we treat animals intended for consumption is evil. God gave us dominion over nature, but that came with the responsibility to be good stewards of it. As with all things, we have fallen short of the mark.

Capacity for evil behaviour is universal
Evil in & of itself is not.
I don't know if I am getting you right...but if you mean than evil is a come and go behaviour, hence is not a nature, then we might say the same of goodness. This pattern proves on the contrary that we are evil rather than refuting

@@benvoiles9166 the problem is that, the evil you do, wipes out any good you do. if you were good, you'd be good ALL the time. but none of us are, or can. we may be Free to do it, but we don't choose it all the time. which makes us worse, because we know we should do good, but still do evil. we seem to have this idea that we have some set of scales and if we do enough good, that it means we are good, but thats an incorrect view. true goodness, is never doing any evil at all, ever. in our actions, in our thoughts. but we can't do that, we are free to do it, no one is stopping us, but we don't do it. we choose to do evil, and the fact that we do any evil, is evil. we are not a clean slate, it just seems like we are.
@@justinm4497you make one of the best points I have ever heard. It is a false equivalence between the statements “We can choose and choose evil sometimes. Therefore we are inherently evil.” and “We can choose and choose good sometimes. Therefore we are inherently good.” The fact that we can choose and choose evil at all makes us inherently evil, because if we were inherently good, we would know better. That would make us even more evil to know better, yet still choose evil. But, we are claiming that we don’t know better, because we are claiming we are not inherently good. Would not the statement that “we are inherently evil, yet choose to do good.” then constitute the exact opposite and argue that if we were inherently evil, choosing to do good at all would be so amazing that it would make us inherently good? How do we consolidate these?
That's a given, we have fight against evil within our soul and in life.
True! And we'll never win because we are battling our self, 'evil is like a cancer that has festured all throughout the body'. The cure can only come from outside, and need to bring a total not a partial change. Christianity only, offers this

Humanity is not evil by default… we are imperfect by default.
What is evil? One who does wrong...suggesting that we are imperfect prove u know and sense there is a perfection that u and I drift from and aught not to be. And that is what is called evil. So man is evil
@@japhetkong4088 So, misspelling is evil? You’ve written it down incorrectly… is that evil? No. That’s imperfection. As a disciple of Christ, only God is good (Mark 10:18). The definition of evil is: profound immorality. The term, “profound” means: Very great or intense. Was Jesus good or, evil when he died on the cross? When he’d died, he was severed from God and all of the sins of the world was within Him. No. He was still doing as His Father had wished and His sacrifice made everyone have a chance at salvation. Would God do this if all humanity was evil- no. Because, if he did; Satan would be saved as well and, none of what Jesus said or did would matter. Jesus coming to Earth would have no meaning. We are flawed but, not evil. In God’s eyes, we are worth saving. If you don’t believe in God, I’d say that; the fact that so many flock towards kindness, empathy, and supportiveness disproves your statement. We love, we protect, we save others. We still have enough of that in us (as a majority). So, that proves you wrong as well.
@@japhetkong4088 I think you need to reassess your definition of evil. You are suggesting evil is simply imperfection. I doubt anyone else agrees with this definition.
And one could say we're imperfect because we're capable of evil. That is free will.
Selfishness is the root of all evil. And humanity is selfish by default. Therefore, humanity is evil by default. It is easier to be selfish than it is to sacrifice self in order to be of service. That takes effort and practice.

It’s called Sin “the heart of man is deceitfully wicked, who can know it?”
There is no sin as we understand it. We are born to behave as we do. But we have to find a way to transcend our human thoughts and feelings because they separate us from the protection of God and bring us our sicknesses and miseries. When we have learnt how to transcend the selfhood/personality (humanhood) the Kingdom of Heaven will descend on Earth.
What is born and nurtured in the diseased mind eventually takes on form in the physical world. This is NOT punishment from God as religious teachers may teach us. It is, a SCIENTIFIC FACT OF EXISTENCE.
Therefore, there is no punishment from God!
There is no such thing as punishment from God-because no such individualized human thinking God exists. This is a myth which should be erased from people's minds.
Humankind, through the willful and harmful exercise of the selfhood/personality (humanhood), draw to themselves their own punishment.
All that man does which man calls sin is only of this world and is only punished within this world-because it is the Law of Earthly Existence, as you know, that whatever you sow you will reap as a like harvest. Because man draws LIFE and MIND from God, man himself is creative in thoughts, words and deeds. Whatever man thinks, says, does and believes, returns to him in like form. Therefore, there is no punishment from God-whatever ills come to humankind is of their own making entirely.
SIN is the direct result of the interplay of the Bonding-Rejection Impulses within human nature.
The Bonding-Rejection Impulses constituted the emotional/mental mask worn by all created individual entities, including birds and animals. You see these impulses at work within all of nature-even within plant life.
The Bonding-Rejection Impulses directed/directs the behavior towards survival of all entities in creation.

Human beings have the capacity for both good and evil. And each one of us battles the temptation to do evil each day within our own souls. I think that's true, and I'm an atheist.
You are right...but there is also another thing that happen, it is a consious telling us we ought to do the right thing, which we go against at times. Now this proves that we are evil, for we do what is against a law in us.The scale for good and evil in a human is not neutral at default, but tilted fully at good. Then humans cause we are evil, tilt the scale against our conscious on the evil side
@@japhetkong4088but where does that conscious calling come from? Social brainwashing.
@@laaaliiiluuuI think we're talking about our conscience. That voice inside us that tells us not to do something, yet we do it anyway.
That comes from God.
If it's consciousness we're talking about, our self awareness that enables us to reflect on the human condition, again: that comes from God.
Edit: it doesn't come from our conditioning or social brainwashing as you call it. There is a God shaped vacuum inside us all which only God can fill. There are natural wonders in the world that could not have originated from impersonal matter plus time plus chance. Only a personal intelligent designer (God!) could have bought such a complex universe into being, and sustain it.
Don't speak for everyone haha, I certainly don't battle the temptation to do evil each day... Occasionally, when pushed to my limit, but how often does that really happen?

Based on the blessing/prophecy,Abraham gave Isaac. If the main purpose for a church is not offering an escape from guilt, regret and shame that occurs through natural instinct, (youth). And support for the family that comes from this blessing. With this vision being there for the great, great, grands of current children, then they will most certainly be subjected to the prophecies written by nomadic men, who never committed their lives to love, to and from women. Seeing the sacrifices and love the mother gave the children they shared.

I thought this was about feminism 😂
No, that’s not true. And it also makes no sense in the Christian conception of humankind. Man is by default free. Free to chose between good and evil.
Then why historically (unless he was in some way cursed) would he ever decide to choose evil? (James 1:15)
True , true!! It goes further to say that man inherently chooses evil even though this is going against the law inside them. This hence proving man to be evil
Obey the Laws of Moses, to Perfection.... we cant.... because we are evil. Free to choose between good or evil... do good All the time... every day, every thought you have, everything you do. always, every day... can't do it can you?? even if you do more good than evil, thats not good enough, actually it makes you worse, because by doing any good at all, you show you have knowledge, the knowledge that you ought to do good, but still do evil, so we are even more guilty. we may be free to choose good or evil, but we choose evil.. you're understanding of good and evil is flawed. but I can't fault you, its been taught that way for a long time, seems to be a cycle the church goes through. a good 2000 yrs of church history and it isn't taught anywhere. the good or the bad. that should scare you deeply. and anyone who reads this.

GOD THE FATHER CANNOT DIE; JESUS DIED FOR US:
God cannot die. Everyone who was created by God will go through an exchange from death to eternal life or from death to eternal damnation. Jesus died for the sins of the world and was raised by God's power and spirit alone. Those who say Jesus is God are blaspheming against the Father who gave Jesus life (John 5:26).
No man has seen God the Father; his Son hath declared him (John 1:18). The Son speaks on behalf of the Father (John 7:17), for he is the image of the invisible God and the *firstbegotten from the dead* (Col 1:15-19). He gave his Son all power in heaven and earth, for everything that the Son has was given to him by his Father and his God (John 20:17). And he also gave his Son so that we may learn of Him, the glory of the one true God (John 17:3). For without the Father, there would be no means of salvation in Jesus Christ (John 8:28-29).
Repent, and God will forgive.

This guy has some interesting points but he falls short Claiming atheism is “an idiotic belief system” while simultaneously saying that we can’t go from “chaos” to “order”, while not understanding that those are subjective and meaningless terms. The order that is our universe is no less chaotic than what a universe with no “guidance” would look like.
This also reveals he doesn’t understand what atheism actually is. Atheism is not a “belief system”, just like not believing in the leprechaun at the end of a rainbow isn’t a “belief system”.
He then explains how he reached his faulty conclusion that god is the creator: we don’t know -> therefore god.
Idiotic is not kind, but I believe he is trying to prove how atheism is not true. One of those fact is the one he stated of human being evil. So human cannot be evil if there is no universal law in us that raises this truth. And if there is a law, then there is a law giver , hence showing that atheism might not be in accordance with reality. Check Tim keller or John lennox or more so CS Lewis for he was atheist and i believe you'll get your answers if you really want them
Atheists will believe what ever the doctors , science and media of the day are pushing.
You misinterpreted Marx. Marx simply intended to reteach the old communal values which Masculinity lost during the first British Industrial Revolution. Immanuel Kant opposed the devaluation of much of this, Karl Marx inherited much of these views. Inalienable rights promoted by Marx has nothing to do with Religion. Why then do those who believe in Islam of Muhammad embrace much of Marxist Philosophy? Ho Chi Ming was brilliant but naïve, his thought overcoming the sickness of Marxist Leninist deception. How is it that many Christians or those others who believe in the power of a god find solace in the works of Marxist inception? The works of Karl Marx, as so many claim, is not the antidote to the still prevailing British Imperialist power which has been promoted through American Eugenics in the past and the Scientific Racism that influenced American Politics before the Second World War? How then do we explain American Despotism? The American bane of the world that hurts the African countries, exploits the rich and desensitizes the Poor of the World into individualist cruelty through their Globalist Imperialism.

Compare and contrast the dominions of Adam, Cain, and Jesus. Compare the story of the Tower of Babel with Jesus in Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians. See what Paul says about human nature, law-breaking, and departure from God - and then, Jesus's redemption of mankind.

For me, I believe in a creator (s), but I don't believe in the gods taught by Christianity and other religions.

It is our nature to believe in something better, bigger and wiser than us to give us an edge to our competitors. For example, Christianity believes they are the true religion like what other religions are saying to Christianity. Finally, all religion is a form of control and power like government systems.
