Hi Darren,
I used these charts on another thread not long ago.
What this shows me is that the population has dramatically increased since the early 1900's and has been climbing sharply ever since.
-According to the U.S. Census Bureau as of April 2007 the world population is 6,590,527,998. We have passed the 6 1/2 billion mark.
-2,000 years ago the estimated human population was 150 million
-By 1850, the human population was one billion. By 1930, it was 2 billion.
-It took 10,000 generations to reach 2 billion.
-The human population is now growing at a rate of about 3 people/second or 260 thousand/day or 1.8 million per week or 93 million/year
I would have to think with so many people in this world that there would be a equal rise in sin to parallel the growing population. And as this population gets more dense, there would be more sin all around, as people interact.
I also would say that as much advances in technology for the good of the world, there has also been an equal advances not for good.
mercy, peace, and love

Hi Kat :)
I think you might have missed my point on quantitatively and qualitatively More of, does not mean more so
I will post again, some of what I wrote. :)
Gal 1:4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
God created evil, in the same manner as man creates a 12volt battery. If man then makes a 1,000 such batteries, there still be only ever 12 volts, but the amperage will increase (exluding cross wiring)
I believe that God made evil and evil hasn't become more evil in power, but rather in frequency.
God see's evil (in my mind) qualitatively; Evil = X
Man see's evil quantitatively, Evil = X times 1,000,000
God does not change. When he creates something, it stays created.
Rom 9:19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
God is the master potter and we are the clay, we cannot yet only see through spiritual eyes.
Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Are we not sinners :( still?
Love to you Kat,
Your brother in Christ,
Darren

Hi Darren,
I think I understand the point you are making;
--- Quote ---Is not evil, evil in the eys of God just like a sin is a sin, for no man is perfect.
--- End quote ---
But there is some difference in how much one sin, as Luke 12:48 says some will recieve more stripes, some few stripes.
--- Quote ---No man can be blinder than blind. No man can see the truth until it is given him to see.
--- End quote ---
This world is becoming worse as a whole and in individuals.
There is this scripture that indicates that evil will go from bad to worse.
2Ti 3:12 Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
v. 13 while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
And this scripture that Jesus says that the evil in someone can become worse.
Luk 11:24 "When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and finding none it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.'
v. 25 And when it comes, it finds the house swept and put in order.
v. 26 Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there. And the last state of that person is worse than the first."
Just what I see on this :)
mercy, peace, and love

When I see these growth charts I sometimes chuckle to think about "re incarnation". Where are all these NEW people coming from????
YellowStone:
No problem at all Kat.
I believe we are both on the same page.
I think I can explain it with the following:
Luke 24:26 Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there. And the last state of that person is worse than the first."
In other words, the final condition of the man will be worse than the start.
That the man is evil is unquestionable; however, my point is; how much more evil can a human become? Has not every atrocity known to man already been committed? Well let me answer this as best I can. Evil is evil as sin is sin, but how evil would the world be if we began watching TV shows where people were put to death for the fun of it? Shock, horror.....The Romans have already done this, and a great percentage of the populace were okay with it; or not willing to do anything about it. :(
I do not believe that the evil is any more evil than it was; just more wide spread.
A final question for you. Will God judge an evil man whom never received the spirit of truth the same as a not so evil (quantitive) man who had repeatedly been exposed to the truth and repeatedly turned away?
Thanks so much, :)
Your brother in Christ,
darren
