God has supplied man with all he needs for salvation. It's just that man listens better to things of this world, and it's not in these things where man will find salvation. Due to the first sin of mankind, we are unable to perceive and know God. We suffer from the defects of a basically rebellious nature. /* ---------- */ Indeed. So why were we created so as to have a basically rebellious nature? God could have saved everybody a whole lot of trouble, including Himself. James Jones
