The Truth Project lesson three was about Anthropology: Who is Man? I guess this lesson was interesting and less confusing compared to the previous lesson that we watched. When I heard who is man? I thought I knew the answer because it is quite obvious. However it wasn't as simple as I thought it would be. The Bible teaches that man consists of both Body and Spirit and is created in the image of God. The Bible also says that man has rebelled against God and fallen from his original state of innocence. He mentioned two types of MAN by two perspectives. One from the Biblical view which is His essence – made in the image of God; dualistic: both flesh and spirit. His moral state – a fallen nature. His need – redemption. And another one is from the evolution theory which was No free will. No life after death. No ultimate meaning in life. The evolutionary theory of man sounds sad. No meaning in life is quite depressing. One of the first things that were mentioned in this tour was EVIL. What is evil? When I hear evil I think it is anything morally bad or wrong. It is maybe something unjust. Some obvious examples might be murder, stealing, lying, and cheating. And if this is the definition of evil then it is happening every single day in the world. In the Bible I guess evil is defined as sin and sin is evil. Hg everyday however a question that comes up is if evil is sin and it is happening every day in the world. Why doesn’t he stop it? I know he has the power to. Does this come to freewill where he gave us the freedom to think for your self and act for what each think is right? Or do we not sin by choice because we were born sinful with a sin nature?
