Do you think it is possible

[Jazzy]

Do you think it is possible for humanity to eventually erase all forms of discrimination (racism, sexism, ageism, etc.) from human civilization? If yes, how do you think it will be achieved?

We are a wicked species full of hatred for man and God. Fat chance it won't get worse before the Lord returns.

We are a species who is inherently good, but very susceptive to being influenced by temptation and we live in a world filled with temptation and supernatural entities who diligently work to corrupt us. Human beings always act according to what we believe to be the "good" but being human also means that we can be very much mistaken in our judgements and decisions.

 

[Lamb]

No, because people from birth might not like seeing things that are different from them. There was a study on babies where the babies didn't care for the puppets that had a different color than their parent's skin. They laughed when those puppets got punished.

Do you have locks on your doors and windows?

Do you have locks on your doors and windows?

Yes, for the reasons I mentioned above.

Take away all temptation and all evil entities from this world, and the desire to sin would gradually decrease towards zero in a matter of years.

But babies die in the womb, never having sinned. Because they are a sinful species. The wages of sin are death and all ills related to it.

I said that humans would likely sin a lot less if they didn't live in a world of temptations with evil entities whose agenda is to corrupt them. Not that people wouldn't die. Death is a punishment applied to the entire human species for Adam and Eve's original sin, from what I gather.

“And he [Jesus] said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.” Mark 7:20–23 (KJV 1900)

That's completely taken out of context. All those things come from within because that's where the cognition centers are. That's where those things are formed. But they are formed there predominantly because men is tempted by evil entities.

Also, if we consider the previous verse and the recent scientific research on human microbiome, Jesus seems to have been wrong on the matter. Apparently, human microbiome seems to be linked to mental health problems, such as bipolar disorder, Alzheimer's, depression, OCD, anxiety and who knows what other diseases. Some of these diseases make a person behave in a sinful manner (such as being irritable, moody in their interaction with other people), which would mean that human microbiome is, at least partially, responsible for some of our sinful behavior. Human microbiome is known to be altered by what we consume (the types of food we eat). So, if modern scientific research is true, Jesus' teaching that it's not what goes into a man that defiles him is partially wrong. It's quite possible that modern scientific research is false, case in which I stand corrected.

Okay.

But they are formed there predominantly because men is tempted by evil entities.

I guess that "predominantly" was the key word here.

While the prince of this world goes about tempting men, we begin life with a fallen nature, thanks to Adam and Eve.

You speak of 'cognition centers,' etc., so we should realize also that we are given to vanity, jealousy, and etc. by virtue of being human, even without some evil entity whispering suggestions in our ears.

Jesus is God, he cannot be wrong. I'm no longer interested in your comments. See ya!
