:: Because freedom for a Christian is “the capacity to obey God.” We are free when are able to carry out what God says ::
But when we exchange the concept of “obey God” to “being equal to God”, there we have find sin and death.
Selfish Pride is the root of all sin! Satan fell because of it and he’s still peddling it.
Envy...
I remember reading an article several years ago about the cause of our human telomeres having been shortened. - It wasn’t a religious article either. - Our telomeres are shortened by a substance - a fruit acid sort of substance. -
Now, I do not remember the magazine or periodical, or if it was a scientific sort of publication. - That statement just sort of rang a bell to me. (I don’t understand a whole lot of stuff; but I did also read from another source that the length of telomeres is what determines when we’re programmed to kick the bucket.) - Reminded me of Adam & Eve & disobedience to God that certainly exposed them to a fruit acid of some sort.
Everyone since Adam and Eve have sinned and are in need of a Savior.
One word answer... REBELLION.
