Man says:
I don't need God's provision, I have my money, a job, insurance, and/or I know people (or the government) who will help me. Science has made it easier for me to live longer and healthier. I'm educated and anything I don't know I can look up online, or if need be, go back to school. All types of media, recreational events, social gatherings, and such not keep me entertained and feeling good (at least for a time) about my life. What do I need an archaic, kill joy god for?
Mankind believes it can mitigate the results of the fall by the systems it has instituted.
I'm thinking this is one reason the Father says not to love the world (it's system of operation) and the
things of the world (what's produced by the world's system that helps us cope with our fall induced separattion).
We use the world to replace Him.
When we don't want to turn to the Father for our life, but prefer to make our own way in this world,
we HAVE to have some type of systems to help us cope - things are too difficult on this side of Eden.
Not only do the systems allow us to cope but also allow us to pursue our lusts (flesh, eye, pride of life) and build a world that accommodates and perpetuates those lusts.
I think this eases the pain/distracts us from pondering on our life-lessness.
And while this way of functioning is very obvious in industrialized countries, I believe that all of mankind, no matter how impoverished or technologically deprived, resorts to some type of 'world system' creation to help overcome/cope with the results of the fall.
Unrepentant man, just like Cain, is separated from God and goes off and "builds a city". Was he thinking 'Fine, God, I can do this without you!"
I'm not sure.
I do think the Father wants us all to come home though.
Thank you Yahshua for making a way. I love you.
