Why is Everyone in the Bible such Evil Beings???

[Dave24]

id agree with that, its also getting to the heart of where our blessings come from and what really is "good"

after the ordeal Job knew that only God is good, and that we can do no good without God. Thats why when Satan came in the forms that he came Job never saw them coming because his assumption about his status of being good was that he himself did the good rather than God doing the good through him.

its like folks who OD on the "made in Gods image after his likeness" without really considering "What is God's image and likeness?" If we are told to not judge after sight, then what is God's likeness? Is it a visual thing or a quality thing?

@MMS when you read through Job it's pretty interesting that Job 38 - Job 41 is God's longest speech/dialogue throughout the entire Bible.

To justify the act and punishment god dealt out to the humans who he gave free will to... hypocritical b*stard from beginning to end...

Then again we are the ones responsible for all the wars, weapons of mass destruction, weather altering devices, insane amounts of pollution, we’ve killed our own people in the billions through only a few millennia. Idk breh, we’re way more violent and destructive than God. Like at this very moment, it’s governments and corporations signing deals to make you food that’ll keep you fat and addicted while also spraying chemicals on them, all Yah wants is your acknowledgment that he’s almighty,

But your fellow man wants you to be an all consuming slave, and raises your rent every year

It was written at a time of savagery. People tend to forget that the commandments helped save people's lives.

People stopped killing each other over theft once they believed a third party would judge them.

People stopped spreading STDs like syphilis(which used to kill people in horrible ways. Seriously read about that shyt if you trying to vomit) once they believed they'd be judged for adultery. Also stopped husbands murdering men and their wives.

Killing itself went down and alternative forms of conflict resolution had to be developed once people believed that a third party would judge them if they took a life.

Even then the killings and cruelty didn't stop, but it did go down. People were discouraged from doing what they once did. Religion is something that inevitably shows up as a glue that ties a society together under a common belief. Religion in the 21st century these days has been replaced by politics, economics, and science.
