>>>There is sin. God told Adam and Eve not to eat the
>>>fruit of The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and evil.
>>>They disobeyed. That is sin.
>>>
>>>There was an enemy there enticing them. But ultimately,
>>>it was their choice. Their decision. And so sin
>>>was introduced into the world.
>>>
>>>All the wars. All the hate. All the harm. All the
>>>enslavement. All the deception. Everything evil.
>>>That one sin made it all possible for an enemy
>>>of God to sew continuous discord amongst all
>>>flesh, preying on feelings, emotions, thoughts,
>>>wants, wishes, and desires.
>>>
>>>The enemy has influence upon us through sin.
>>>He (Satan) encourages all manner of destructive
>>>behavior in men and women. He plants well

>>>Jesus died on the cross voluntarily to take away
>>>our sin. Mine, yours, everybody. To simplify it,
>>>Jesus undid completely the work of His enemy.

>>>Jesus now holds the keys to death as well as
>>>eternity. And He offers eternity freely, and without
>>>reservation, for all those who will hear His voice
>>>(hear The Truth).
>>>
>>>Discord among men exists for one reason: sin.
>>>Men pursue matters of the flesh ALL of which lead
>>>to eternal death. God is spirit, and those willing to
