The Truth About People -We are all sinners!

Perhaps you think it strange to have found an article which speaks the truth about people, but very few people truly understand THE TRUTH about people. Are we the descendants of aliens from another galaxy! No, but you certainly have to wonder what goes through some people's minds in light of the silly, evil and reckless things they sometimes do. The skull above was dug up in one of the recent mass graves uncovered in Iraq. Unfortunately, humanity is prone to war and killing. I could write a book on the subject, but I don't need to because a very good one has already been written...it's title is "the Bible." The Author has been on the best-selling list for ages, His name is God.

Much of the confusion in society is due to an unwillingness to accept THE TRUTH about people; namely, we are dirty, rotten sinners prone to evil and destruction. I realize this may come as an offense to many people, but it is the honest-to-God truth! I don't want to be labeled as a religious person for using the Bible here, because I don't like religion--at all! Read my section on "Religion" to find out why. I do however have a strong faith in God and His Word. I did not construct this website to impress anyone, but to proclaim the truth. Truth will offend many people, it always has. As the old saying goes, "If the shoe fits, wear it!"

The Bible describes humanity with impeccable accuracy, unbelievably so. If for no other reason, I would believe that the Bible is God's Word for this reason ALONE. People can be rotten, even monsters if they have not God in their life. By the way, many professed religious people do NOT have God in their life (they are living a lie, a game). My purpose of this article is not to condemn people, but rather to show that people are inherently evil. I say this in all sincerity and kindness. The truth is that we are all sinners, all possessing a sin-nature from birth. Of course, this is the exact opposite of humanism (which teaches that humanity has the potential to overcome his or her own dilemmas). Humanism is a lie! Mankind is not going to get better, only worse. There will always be war, nuclear weapons and crime. Why? Because there will always be pride, hate, jealousy, greed, lust and corruption. Why? Because it's in our very blood as human beings!

"Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."--Galatians 5:19-21)

These are the attributes common to humanity.

"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:"--Romans 3:10

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"--Romans 3:23

"All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all."--Isaiah 53:6

Did you read that? All we "LIKE SHEEP" have gone astray. People are just like sheep. Sheep are very vulnerable animals, easy prey for a cunning wolf. Every day on the news, we hear or read about people who have fallen victim one way or another because of this very fact. One simply has to look at the financial mess (debt) our government is in to realize that the American public has been deceived, lied to and defrauded by those whom we have voted into power. Yet, why do we continue to vote for only two political parties? Because people are like sheep and are EASILY swayed by the evil rich and powerful crooks who control government and media. I refuse to vote democrat or republican anymore because of too much corruption going on in both parties. But that's just one example, there are thousands more. People are like sheep, unaware of what is going on in this world.

The average psychologist/psychiatrist has little or no regard for the Bible; therefore, the basis of their counseling is flawed. They base their reasoning on humanism, evolution and secular opinion. The Word of God gives us the TRUTH concerning humanity; therefore, the Bible is absolutely essential in helping people learn to help themselves by facing THE TRUTH of reality. The first step to mental healing is to face the truth, to see who you really are in the mirror of God's Word. Only then can you begin to change (because now you see what needs to change). You must come to realize that we are living in a "fallen world." This simply means that because of the sin which Adam allowed into the world (Romans 5:12), we have a sin-nature passed on to us by birth. Though it may seem unfair, it is THE TRUTH. Understanding this truth will revolutionize your way of thinking. I'm not saying that we should hate people, but we must realize that even the best of people are still sinners! We must guard against placing ourselves in bad situations (because people are people). If the bankers and politicians of 1913 had believed this, they never would have created the ungodly federal reserve system which has done so much to destroy this nation (which, by the way, caused the Great Depression of the 1930's).

Realizing that people are sinful by nature would cause us to place Bible-reading and prayer back into the public-school system. Is it any wonder why so many children are growing up to be heathen citizens? I mean...is a little decent Bible and prayer time going to hurt the kids in school? No, it would be great for them! The kids are being brain-washed with evolution, why is the story of creation banned? Is not evolution the religious belief of atheists? By the way, atheism IS a religion (it is a belief is it not?). So who's fooling who? Everyone has beliefs, and those beliefs affect their frame-of-mind to make decisions. So when you think of it, there is no such thing as separation of religion and state. People think the terms "church" and "religion" are synonymous, they aren't. There are MANY religions today that have no church, no building, no organized meeting place (the New Age religion is a good example). Ironically, atheists meet in their various non-profit organizations but are not considered a church because they claim not to be religious. Here's THE TRUTH friend, atheists are VERY RELIGIOUS (that is--they have very strong beliefs). This great misnomer has given the atheists and other heathen organizations an unfair advantage over churches.

When I am mistreated by people, I often think of the following Scriptures:

"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."--2nd Timothy 3:1-7

That about says it all, this is THE TRUTH about people! Need I say more?

"For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple."--Romans 16:18

"Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)"--Philippians 3:19

Do you know someone "whose God is their belly?" That is to say, they are living for the pleasures of this life with little or no regard for God nor neighbor. You probably know many such people, I certainly do. We are living in perilous days as the Bible spoke of, where people have become "lovers of their own selves." People by nature are selfish, self-centered, self-conscious and self-righteous! The sooner you realize and accept this, the sooner you'll develop a TRUTHFUL perspective of the world today. Let me give you the Bible's perspective on the word:

"And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness."--1st John 5:19

The "whole world lieth in wickedness" because of the wickedness of mankind. There will always be war and suffering because of man's heart-disease (his unwillingness to repent and turn to God for salvation and regeneration). The day of judgment is coming!

"Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities."--Jude 1:7-8

"But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core."--Jude 1:10-11

"To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage. But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts."--Jude 1:15-18

This THE TRUTH about people! (murmurers and complainers, prone to disobedience and lust).

"Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others."--Ephesians 2:2-3

"Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen."

I sincerely hope this article has opened your eyes (if they weren't already opened). God loves people by the way, ALL of them! The greatest verse in all the Bible to me is John 3:16...

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

God loves you friend, more than you could possibly ever imagine. In this crazy and confusing world, it is often difficult to feel God's love, but the Bible proclaims God's love for humanity. Don't make the mistake of trying to recreating God in your own image, you can't...you were created in God's image. God does things His way and in His time, that is plain THE TRUTH! Let me leave you with one final Scripture:

"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."

If you don't know Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour, I sincerely plead with you as a caring friend to be saved. Let me share with you the plan of salvation as laid out in the Word of God.
