Curiosity - by Fp

These things I am about to discuss have been baffling me for the past few months. They never leave my head, which is why I want individual contributions and opinions. As individuals, we all believe — which I also believe — that a script has been written for humanity, meaning how each and every one of us is to live our life on Earth. Is that right? And I am sure we all believe that God is not evil and that everything under heaven and Earth which He created was for a greater cause — a good one. Now, my curiosity makes me ask, not that I don't believe, but I just want clarity on what is disturbing my mind. For those who choose evil over right deeds — herdsmen, kidnappers, oppressors, terrorists — can we plainly say they are living based on the script written for their cause? Or can we say God is evil? Which I believe God is not, because He created every human in His own image and likeness, and ordained a great purpose for them. But why do most people choose to become evil? Then my conclusion. I begin with: *1. Family history:* Many generations have passed and no one knows the kind of life they lived during their era, and the bad things they have done, which brings curses and generational patterns to the family that can rewrite one's script from what God has written. *2. Society:* What we believe from society and false doctrine might be polluting your mind, your thinking and your circle of influence, and can change what God says concerning your life. *3. Temptation:* The devil saw the future and has seen your glory before you were born. He knows what you will become. Then when he sees that you have come of age and are near your purpose, he brings temptation to tamper with that mandate. And once you forfeit it, small sin can change the whole story — your script can be rewritten by those who don't want you to fulfill destiny. *4. Disobedience to parents:* When you don't listen to your parents' discipline, disobedience can bring destruction due to misuse of horrible words towards such a child because of his/her insolent act. So I believe, God wants something great for humanity — that is the purpose why He created us. And for someone to mould us in His own image and likeness, is there any justification to be evil towards us? Despite our sinful acts, He forgives and forgets all our iniquities and transgressions, and gives us another chance to be His sons and daughters one more time. So I stop here. Let me hear your thoughts regarding my curiosity. Happy Sunday to y'all. I hope this helps someone who is having the same curiosity as mine. @FP
