Dear Mark,
Please consider that Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King and Ghandi all resisted the oppression coming against innocent people. This is the sin we battle against and Jesus taught to resist as well. Martin Luther especially broke through allot of evil by his strength and resistence of oppression. Paul the major author of the New Testament shares his personal struggles with sin in Romans 7. He says he wants to do what he should do but does not do it and relates this as the struggle each of us goes through every day. In all honesty every day we should be like Jesus and live a totally sacrificial life to all people we encounter. Obviously we do not always hit the mark and that is the nature at war within us IMO. God does expect that to be our standard for it is His standard as seen in His perfect image Jesus. So what can we say before Him for a failure? As Abraham told Isaac God Himself will provide the lamb, and He has. All our mistakes and errors have been atoned for by the Messiah. The original sin is still there or we would not die and we surely will die physically and I have never seen another explanation for death. I have heard the idea that we move onward through our death but why is that death necessary in the first place if it is not for some kind of purefication?
God always chooses to rehabilitate but men resist it. No change can be accomplished without acceptance and desire to grow. If men desire strongly to continue to hurt others and not accept Gods love it is not Gods rejection but theirs. What do you think would happen if a person that stood before God and spit at Him and continued to resist the love He is offering? God is all knowledge and knows the thoughts of all people and there seems to be a desire in us to resist His love.
I have always said I am grateful to know I face God in the end instead of men for His mercy is huge and His compassion great and that God to me is Yeshua they are one and the same.
Thank you as always for your wisdom and gentleness,
May the Lord bless you and give you peace,
Nancy
