The cyclical flow of history leads to believe that some force (whomever it may be that does it) encourages sin the most in times of overpopulation. I believe this is because God designed this system for balance and choice. I mean too many people is a potentially world breaking problem (we eat all the fish in the ocean for example) and so sin is the lesser evil to potential extinction of many forms of life.

I feel as if I need to make some internal philosophy to Christianity based on this. I mean we cannot continue to live as we have. I hope Christ returns soon and sets out a final testament, the world needs one last one before it's too late.

What are your thoughts?

That sounds like a purely outward form of faith with no personal relationship.

Well I like to examine the creation you could say, I'm less sure about the creator. This is just an examination of the world, not the character of it's creator.

We are required to be in personal relationship and then He will guide us in ALL truth.

The force you refer to is Satan. Sin is never a lesser evil. This world was only intended to be temporary. There will be a new heavens and a new earth. God created man in order to deal with Satan, God's adversary. Instead, man disobeyed God and the mess is what we see every day. God did not design sin. It is sin that is the threat to life on earth, as we can see from the potential Russia/Ukraine conflict.

The testament that the Lord Jesus introduced is final. We have not seen the total fulfillment but it's coming. The earth is still God's and He decides what will will happen.

He created man because it pleased Him to do so.
He created Hell to place satan and the fallen angels.
Man was originally never intended to end up there.

AGAIN with the yin-yang stuff?

Sin is doing life wrong. Sin harms us and those around us. God designated some things as sin to warn us to avoid them.

Sin is like never changing the oil in my car, or slashing the tires. I am deliberately running the vehicle in a manner Mazda never intended and actively recommends against.

And have you SEEN how big the ocean is? We'd never be able to eat everything in it.

Overpopulation is a false theory. It is simply an arm of government corruption based on eugenics, abortion, the cry for reproduction rights, and climate change alarmism.

We do not have a people problem in themselves, we have a heart problem. There is enough money and food in the world to make sure no one goes hungry but due to corruption, war, poor government policies, we see hunger even in the wealthiest countries.

Did not our Father instruct mankind to go out, be fruitful and fill the earth? What do you suppose is to occur when it has reached its filling? The answer should be glaringly obvious. Come Lord Jesus Yeshua , come. amen

My thoughts are that you are a very strange person with what appears to be very strange ideologies...........deluisonal comes to mind. Have you ever sought or received professional help? Seriously. Not putting you down, just saying what I believe when I read your comments. There seems to be an obvious lack of Christ in your comments. And, given that this is a Christian Site, that makes it even more strange IMO.

My own theory is that sin is not what does, but the way one is. If you take the seven deadly sins (avarice, gluttony, pride, sloth, wrath, envy and sloth) these are all ways of being that lead one to wrongful acts. In other words, it's a matter of character flaws, rather than activities.

Best wishes, 2RM.

Fortunately, as we grow older and wiser, we find that sin doesn't work well for us, and discover the bliss of a quiet conscience.
