According to Genesis, the world was created
from discord.
Human history is a history of discord. The first
woman was a product of the very first man’s discord with heaven and the devil
and he made her his wife. The serpent’s deception created discord with nature,
cursing mankind with the suffering of work and childbirth. Their discord with
life burdened them with death and their discord with god ultimately banished them
from paradise.
One of the man and woman’s children killed
his brother, splitting their life between civilization and farming. Finally,
mankind attempted to construct a tower to reach heaven, but they angered their
lord and were given the discord of separate cultures.
In all of history, conflict has never once vanished
from the world of man. No one lives their lives without sin. When a man is
born, he must cull millions of his brothers.
According to Genesis, the world of man will
never overcome that discord and obtain harmony.
But…
If some form of harmony does in fact
exist…
