Mankind:
Chance
or
Purpose?
What
"makes
mankind
so
special?
Why
does
the
group
of
creatures
with
a
cerebral
cortex.and
an
ability
to
know
and
know
that
they
know,
have
dominion
over
the
other
creatures
of
the
earth.
Five
things
can
be
said
about
man
(Used
here
interchangably
with
mankind).
1.
Man
is
a
created
being
(Genesis
2:7,21-23).
2.
Man
is
meant
to
obey
absolutes
(Exodus
20:1-17),
3.
Man
is
increasingly
complex
in
his
ways
of
thinking;
even
Mankind
cannot
understand
Mankind
by
itself;
not
through
empirical,
social,
astronomical,
or
reiigious
sciences.
(I
Corinthians
1:20,27).
The
fact
that
man
changes
over
time
through
acts
of
thinking
shows
that
man
strives
toward
the
Ultimate
Complexity
Aware
of
Itself,
the
answer,
Jesus
Christ!
4.
Man,
is
not
only
conscious
but
reflectively
conscious;
unlike
all
other
creatures
of
the
earth,
man
knows
and
knows
he
knows.
(Genesis
1:26,27).
"Then
God
said,
'Let
Us
(He
and
His
Son
Jesus
Christ)
make
man
in
Our
image,
according
to
Our
likeness;
and
let
them
rule
over
the
fish
of
the
sea
and
over
the
birds
of
the
sky,
and
over
every
creeping
thing
that
creeps
on
the
earth.'
God
created
man
in
His
own
image,
in
the
image
of
God
He
created
him;
male
and
female
He
created
them
(Genesis
1:26,27
NASV).
5.
Man
is
capable
of
agape,
or
selfless
love,
loving
others
because
of
their
need.
Only
Jesus
Christ
is
able
to
love
through
motives

other
than
selfish
ones
(John
3:16,
Luke
6:32,
John
15:9,10),
and
He
is
the
potential
that
man
has
for
agape
love
(I
John
4:7-10).
"Beloved,
let
us
love
one
another,
for
love
is
from
God
and
everyone
who
loves
is
born
of
God
and
knows
God.
The
one
who
does
not
love
does
not
know
God,
for
God
is
love.
By
this
the
love
of
God
was
manifested
in
us,
that
God
sent
His
only
Son
to
be
the
propitiation
for
our
sins".
(I
John
4:7-10,
NASV).
To
be
born
of
God
is
to
be
born
of
His
Son
Jesus
Christ,
to
recognize
and
accept
the
free
gift
of
life
eternal
through
the
God-man,
Jesus
who
paid
the
penalty
for
mankind's
refusal
to
obey
God.
Through
Jesus
Christ
man
can
a)
live
with
God
forever
(freedom
from
penalty),
b)
desire
what
God
desires
(agape
love),
and
c)
consequently
man
can
be
in
obedience
to
God.
Not
only
did
Jesus
conquer
death,
He
shattered
all
myths
about
man's
independence
from
God.
Jesus
Christ
shatters
the
myth
of
man
being
the
measure
of
all
things
(Humanism);
He
shatters
the
myth
of
man
being
able
to
have
worthwhile
values
and
to
exist
substantially
without
God
(Existentialism),
and
Jesus
shatters
the
myth
of
man-by-chance
(the
Big
Bang
Theory,
Evolution
from
meaninglessness
to
meaningfulness
by
accident,
or
increasing
consciousness
complexity
by
fortuitous
circumstances).
All
speculation
survives
or
dies
at

All
theories
and
mythology
are
proven
true
or
false
by
their
relationship
to
Jesus
Christ.

The
followers
of
the
Baha'i
Faith
learn8
through
the
teachings
of
its
founder,
Baha'u'llah,
that
these
Manifestations
are;
the
Prophets
of
the
great
religions
of
the
world.
Bahai's
believe
that
Moses,
Christ,
tj
Buddha
and
others
have
come
to
mankind
as;
Messengers
of
God,
to
help
advance
us
to
at
higher
degree
of
spiritual
development.
They
i
have
been
called
Primal
Mirrors
because
they
v
reflect
the
attributes
of
God,
who
s
unknowable
to
mankind.
These
Prophets"
have
appeared
at
different
times
and
inll
different
parts
of
the
world.
However,
anyone
J
wno
studies
tne
religions
of
the
world
canf
discover
that
their
teachings
are
basically
U
similar:
love,
truth,
etc.
Bahai
s
believe
that
J
there
is
only
one
God,
and
therefore
only
one
religion,
the
religion
of
God.
fc
Just
as
one
grade
in
school
gives
us
the';
necessary
knowledge
and
skills
to
handle
;W
the
next,
so
each
Manifestation
of
God'
brings
mankind
a
step
further
in
itsll
development.
However,
with
the
passage
of
fA
time
these
Divine
teachings
become
clouded
r
by
the
interpretation
of
man,
and
religions
reach
a
spiritual
winter.
For
Bahai's
this
is
a,
very
exciting
time
in
which
we
live,
because

Baha'u'llah
(The
Glory
of
God),
who
was
born
in
Persia
inM
1817.
f.
Although
the
events
of
the
world
seenn
pretty
shaky,
there
are
Bahai's
in
almost
every
country
in
the
world,
and
they
are
trying
to
build
a
New
World
Order.
Baha
u
Hah
has;
told
us
that
this
is
the
aae
of
maturity
and
unity
for
mankind.
Many
people
follow
a
religion
in
a
cultural
sense;
that
is,
a
Jew
is
a
Jew
because
their
parents
were.
An
important
principle
of
the
Baha'i
Faith
is
the
individual
investigation
of
truth.
Each
Individual
must
seek
and
discern
truth
fori
themselves.
