"Where sin abounded there did grace much more abound" There is far more goodness in the earth than evil."My Spirit shall not always strive with men" "Whom the Lord loves He chastens" Everyone is carefully and thoughtfully chastened by the Lord."None is righteous"People are basically good because of the Spirit of God striving with them through every means there is in life, including the conscience. The difference between a believer and unbeliever is just that, and nothing else.What would happen if the Spirit no longer strives to comfort people and make them half normal?Do people push themselves outside of God's guidance and protection? Yes. They even become possessed by the devil to commit the worst acts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
