this has been on my mind too and would like to share my thoughts. hope people reply. Jn 3:17-19
ALTHOUGH i SUGGEST THE WHOLE CHAPTER BE READ because it does relate so well about being born again
Joh 3:17 For God has not sent his Son into the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him.
Joh 3:18 He that believes on him is not judged: but he that believes not has been already judged, because he has not believed on the name of the only-begotten Son of God.
Joh 3:19 And this is the judgment, that light is come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light; for their works were evil.
I was looking at this verse " that light is come into the World" our world is dark and light separates the dark. if you have a problem like an infection in your body and it comes out on your skin "boil" pimple the best way to treat it is to allow it to surfaces and leave the body. your body is throwing off the problem. now I am not saying we sin and allow it. what I am saying is if we try to work salvation ourselves it is the work of the flesh. Chris through His Holy Spirit and it is His desired to mature us is at work. The problems are there the opportunities are there to grow and we are. Ray talked about this in his paper on are we chosen and how we must fall first.
this Light that came into the World it is such a contrast to darkness. pure and holy Gods Son on earth. it makes me think it is causing the sin to surface up and be done way with. Jesus has brought about the Will of the Father in this earth and sin is being destroyed by the light. that my thinking simple but i believe that Light has set in motion the wrong to surface more or be seen and the hope and glory is that He Jesus Christ disolve conquer that death and sin that dwells ino ur being.

one more thing here there are sooo many opinons love it but also brotherly love. I have been in a lot of prayer late and not been on the forum nice to be back :D
Shawn Fainn:
Interesting responses. As evil only seems to increase in the world, it's difficult to resist acting at times and be patient.. I'm sure we still have a ways to go, but I'm looking forward to when all the wickedness is done away with.

There will be no peace on the earth. Yes, evil only seems to increase in the world, but we have to endure it to the last.
"....Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" Luk 18:8"

The key word her is "seems". As bad as the world is, it is good compared to past history. I have spent my free time in the last couple years studying some history, it has always interested me. History proves that evil has been much worse in the past. The difference now is the advent of news, internet and the population explosion. A flea farts on the other side of the world and we hear about it. In the past something happening in another state or county would harldy make the local news. Now all news is local.
Actually we live in a relatively good time. If evil really hit everyone hard, most would fold like a stack of newspapers.
