We must contend with the gnashing question of why we are here? Not just on this Earth but for such a time as this very moment we confront in either frustration, obliviousness or joy.

It is particularly difficult to be a scientist and contend that Life, all Matter simply happened from the void of nothing to second later all of this. Even if that were possible which it isn’t it still begs to original a plan that would creating everything from nothing. NOTHING, NOTHING, BOOM, EVERYTHING.

Then there is the deeper question as to why we would want that to be the answer? Why would people be content with such foolish explanation? Wouldn’t that immediately provoke us to wonder from what we need to escape. What drive would be that complex that at all cost we would ignore the obvious to pack it with the sublimely unrealistic?

Are we responsible for the things that are being done on Earth? May I simply blame it on THEM and sit without blame for the hungry, poor, dying and innocent unsafe? May I look away from the things that I have done to get what I want at any cost? May I simply be so narcissistic that I remain impervious to any personal responsibility?

This leads us more closely to the answer. Only those who want to know will know and those who seek to avoid personal accountability will also keep themselves free from those things for which they CANNOT be held to account.

OUR SIN, is the answer. The LIFE we have been given so clearly not accidentally is to honor, avoid or account for the impact of our sin against that Life and its giver. Without sin, there is no conscience. Without its wages there is no reason to fear such gravity. Without Sin, life eternal perhaps may have been our intended creation, until that abruptly ended with EVE’S deception or ADAM’S disobedience.

Simply put the God who gave us life could have laid before us no prohibition, no command, no direction. He placed before man a choice of character and direction. That choice is Love. Thus all with which we struggle is about the Loving Choice of Life over Sin and Death.

Any character that influences to make that choice is not responsible for that choice except as God deems it, yet we seek to blame everyone but ourselves to escape that itchy feeling of guilt for our wrongdoing. Isn’t it odd that we know right from wrong enough to be guilty for our actions?

This world is in chaos for the same reasons. We choose Sin over the original obedience of Everlasting Life. We are stealing, killing and destroying those people, powers and things that stand in our way of Self Achievement. Like it or not Mankind as a Group is responsible individually and collectively for our predicament.

The Bible says this very fact yet we seek any alternate explanation other than the accountability be face before the Throne of God. Oddly, it said we would do that as well. There is no escaping the simplicity of Truth and the complexity of our lies. Or is there for we also hate repentance and surrender as the ONLY avenues to forgiveness. That is why we hate Christ Jesus’ because we always want this life to match our personal desires for it.
