Sorry, in the effort to heap all the causation on one part of the equation, another part is missed.
The devil has power only through perpetuating his con game, which is conditioned (by the grace of God) upon human acceptance of gospel; nonetheless he DOES have power.
To say otherwise is to disrespect God’s plan.
The picture is no disproof. What put the fabulousness into her abortion?
The devil has only the power he is allowed.....man has a will and choice...his ultimate choices are his responsibility...
Gen. 6:11-12 tells us ..... The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
Today we live in a world constantly threatened by terrorism, in our cities we have hate crimes, drive by shootings, mothers killing their own infant children, parents killing their children, children killing parents, inhuman behavior is becoming the norm, we have run a muck having no restraints. Why?...
.... Because there is no law, no real accountability, its lawlessness. The more tolerance today the less morals we have. There is a relationship between the two, no standard and anything goes. In Israels apostasy at the end of the Book of judges reads just as our society today,.... everyone did what was right in THEIR OWN EYES.
Over the years teachers have been asked to identify the top problems in America’s public schools. In 1940 teachers identified talking out of turn; chewing gum; making noise; running in halls; cutting in line; dress code infractions; and littering. When teachers were asked the same question in 1990, it was a completely different assessment they identified drug abuse; alcohol abuse; suicide; rape; pregnancy; robbery; and assault. In the last several years we can also add terroristic threatening, mass murder.
What does God say about violence? Psalms 11:5 tells us.... The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked, and his soul hates him that loves violence. It also says all those who love death hate me.
