People Are Born Evil

Born within man is the inherent nature to be mean and cruel. The Bible shows that, "man was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did our mother conceive us." We don't teach children to lie and steal: it is in the inherent nature of people. We as parents must teach our children to suppress this desire, and teach them how to become good law-abiding citizens. It is imperative that children understand that the Law of Liberty comes only when one is totally sold out to God and under submission to His authority. When one turns away from God or no longer represses the spirit of man then it is easy to revert to the monster living inside each of us. It was not originally so, but the fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden changed the entire complexion of what man was designed to be. Instead, it was at that moment that man became evil, causing Cain to kill Abel. If we are civilized it is only because we have learned to live that way from someone who has chosen to live a socially accepted lifestyle.
