God has given everyone of us abilities, talents and motives. He intended humanity to rule over the world.

The problem is sin entered the picture, but the answer to that is Jesus Christ.


So instead of treating sin as the natural or common cause, treat it like an invader, a disease, an illegal alien into your mind, soul and spirit.


Those who find their life shall lose it, because sin is destruction.

But those who lose their life (or surrender their life) to Jesus shall recieve eternal life.


Do not let your fallen state be the dictator, it is invasive disease that once we are cleansed of, we will desire what is Good and Holy as we were meant to.


Too many see it as evil when surrendering to God, but its more akin to a factory reset to a rebellious ai or software that was corrupted.

What did Jesus mean when he said, "And Jesus called them to him and said to them, 'You know that those who are supposed to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them. But it shall not be so among you; but whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all.'"? That's in Mark 10. How can we rule the world if we're supposed to be servants and slaves?

The way Roman Catholic priests achieve this is by living a celibate life robbes of wife and family (I sympathise with them).


Idk if you wanted more examples. That is 1 example.

The US is a definitively secular nation, founded on complete separation of the State and religion. The Left Wing of US realise this but don't realise that pure freedom requires as low tax and free access to guns as possible. The Right Wing of US don't realise that secular pure freedom means the LGBTQ+ and abortion agendas both end up in line with US's liberty-first ethos.

It is left-wing to be pro-life. You are backing poor babies being born at the inconvenience of the already-born. Go figure.

Hmmmm.


As we know all too well, throughout history Roman Catholic priests and Popes have always found outlets for their GOD given endocrinal demands.


How many examples do you require?

The scriptures answer this. Those who are obedient are to be kings and priests with him in the regeneration (1000 years) as of now, satan is the god of this world because humanity is in sin, we are born and shaped into inquity.


So as of right now, there is no dominion over the world for the sake of Jesus Christ, yet there are those who serve him daily.


As for why we are commanded to be servants to each other, its referring to the example of Christ. For The Lord Jesus came from glory to serve and humbled himself in the man Christ Jesus for humanity's sake.


This world is not yet the kingdom of our Lord and his Christ, so we labor to preach the gospel and show the kingdom of God, so that whosoever will, they can see christ in us, and turn from darkness to light.

Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

Many billions of years ago the seeds of life were sown and we no not how or why, or if by chance, or purposefully.


Many billions of years later, a bunch of bearded Judeo-Arabic type dudes came up with the novel idea that it was a bloke with a beard what did it, and they wrote a variety of stories based upon said ideas.


Hmmmm.......How novel was that?

You trust in man to tell you the age of the earth, yet their measurements are flawed.

It takes more faith to believe in evolution than creation, for you must trust the claims of man.

What you are contending requires a direct refutation of the most general principles of most of our physical and biological sciences. As a unifying theory of biology, evolution holds true. Its mechanisms are by no means completely understood and it does not in any way eliminate the mystery of life, question the existence of God, or bring into doubt any of the basic tenets of Christianity.


But it is absolutely central to science.


The theory of evolution is the great unifying principle of biology, as powerful a model to biology as Newton's model was to physics. The conceptual framework of the theory of evolution makes sense of a profoundly wide range of scientific facts and it does it in a magnificent and comprehensive way. It provides a principle of unity, a framework by which science can attempt to explain, to unify, and to order, a vast amount of disparate data into a consistent whole providing tremendous coherence and clarity. To deny evolution you must bring into question the entire interwoven fabric of scientific research.


Flat out denial of the theory of Evolution requires the concomitant denial of an astounding range of scientific disciplines, not just the disciplines of geology, paleontology, archeology, radiometric dating, genetics, and zoology but also such fundamental disciplines as physics, astronomy, astrophysics, chemistry, biochemistry, geophysics, biology, botany, microbiology, and meteorology, and many others. Because of the interrelated aspect of the sciences, you can't really propose that the theory evolution is false without being fundamentally anti-scientific. You can contend that the theory of evolution is incomplete, nobody claims it is complete. If you could in fact, deny the theory of evolution, it would, in effect, unravel the world of science.


And I just don't see why anyone would want to do that. I simply do not see evolution challenging any of the basic tenets of Christianity; unfortunately, I can't say the same thing about your contention here. In order to support the belief that evolution is false, you accordingly have to postulate a deceptive God, don't you?


You would need to propose a God who would create Man with a rational mind, a sense of wonder, and seeking intellect, while creating a universe with the false appearance of tremendous age with the overwhelming evidence of "evolution" occurring in creation as a trick or something. This concept of a deceptive God is very hard to accept; it strikes me as a much greater challenge to Christianity than any damage the concept of evolution could ever hope to do.


In the end, it takes more faith to believe in your deceptive, trickster God than it does to believe in the science of evolution.

"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth" is a verse from the Sermon on the Mount in the Bible, specifically 

Matthew 5:5. The phrase does not mean weakness, but rather a disciplined strength; it describes a person who has great power but uses it with control and gentleness, without anger or a desire for vengeance. The promise that the meek will "inherit the earth" is a divine assurance that God will ultimately elevate the oppressed and humble, fulfilling his promise of peace and prosperity.

For me, it really is all a matter of logic.



A slow progressive development of basic matter.



Or, a magic bloke that has existed for ever, who rocked up a few thousand years ago and created everything within the space of a few days.


Said magic bloke then returned a few thousand years later and impregnated a virgin with a son who was sort of a clone of himself.



Notwithstanding that an inter-galactic seeding hypothesis is feasible.


Notwithstanding also, that all hypotheses including Christianity, relied upon material evolution to get us to where we are today.


And finally, let's not forget that all hypotheses have an unexplainable beginning, and magic men who have lived for ever, is too say the least, a poor explanation.


Though if magic men can defy the necessity of creation, then so can everything.

Trump proved it, you are blessed if you are rich.
