Life Before...

[RV]

I was thinking about what life was like before the fall of man. In our weekly Bible study, we're reading and studying our way through the book of Genesis. I was going about my regular duties and a thought suddenly occurred to me.

I started thinking about all of the terrible things that mankind has to deal with on an almost daily basis. Certainly in some places there are more of these, in certain places there are less but, some of these exist in virtually every place.

Just imagine what life would be like if there were no illnesses to deal with. No doctors, no nurses, no hospitals, no ambulances, no emergency rooms, no hospice care, no nursing homes and no mortuaries either. Side affects of drugs would not exist and in fact drugs themselves would not exist. No sorrow, no loss, no grief, no pain and no deathbeds ever. Caskets, funeral services, memorial services, Cemetaries and urns would not be needed.

There would be no colds, no viruses, no physical or mental decline, no dementia, no Cancers of any kind and no aging either. No Pollution of any kind, no crime of any kind, no assaults, no murders, no baby's aborted, no thefts, no carjackings, no protests, no riots, no injustices of any kind, no discrimination of any kind, no covert activity of any kind, no hidden anything and no lies either.

Casual sexual encounters would not exist. Promiscuity would not exist. There would be no accidents, no misjudgments and no daredevil antics. As a matter of fact, there would be no taxes, no government regulations and in fact no human government of any kind. This would also mean that there were no politicians and no need for "representation" by the power hungry elites either.

Natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, storms, torrential rains, dam brakes, droughts, famines, sewage backups, etc. would never happen. Homelessness and starvation would not even be thought of.

All of the things I have listed and more are the result of the fall of humans. As the Bible says, "all we have went astray...". If anyone says that they have no sin, they are lying and greatly misled. Christians are in the world but, not of the world.

Great point.
Whenever the naysayers try to pull the whole, "What kind of God sends earthquakes that kill people?"
We have to point out that God didnt create earthquakes, they are the fault of humans sinning, which reverberates thru all of creation.
WE ARE TO BLAME for all the death and suffering, not God. Well I suppose the devil holds ultimate responsibility since he is the one who brought about the sinning of man, but we still did it.

No, not really.
