It’s, as are the laws of physics. Evolution at its finest display. Touch fire, and one gets burned. Lie, cheat, steal, and one gets marked. So too is civilization and all of us degraded. The Bible is all about winnowing each individual through Christ Jesus. And the very first book of that Truth is painful. It foretells the reason for God’s acceptance of Abel’s gift. That is about flesh-sacrificed as the metaphor of humanity and salvation. No fruit nor seeds, nor anything of the field would suffice. Fast forward to the cross. There it is, a human for a human, a sacrifice of the flesh. Why? For the Spirit. For human life as eternal. And most importantly, for God to walk in companionship with mankind. That is the Plan. Good luck pagans.
