The fact that we each have free will gives rise to an inescapable truth: we're obliged to make decisions.
The fact that we're all made in the image of God is not and could never be intended to mean "individual" but "male and female" is our image. This gives rise to the truth that I am humanly 'me'only because of humanly 'you'.
The stamp of God, the seal of God, the breath of God in 'me' causes this individual obligation to make decisons, therefore, which are good, beneficial, worthy of esteem and approval of "you".
We know that some decisons made do not fit into the human arena of 'good, beneficial, etc etc'. Why? What causes us to make decisons and follow thru with words and actions that are not for the common good or turn even against the individual's good?
The church calls it original sin.
there is a fundamental flaw which affects our natural need to be good.
Trying to look at my world compassionately!
