My shortened reply to Vijay P Madhavan (FSl/5) is that from a Christian perspective, the Bible reveals answers, which require knowing and understanding the Creator and His Plan of Salvation for humanity.
Lucifer the archangel, now called Satan, rebelled in Heaven and was cast out with one third of the angels who believed in his lies.
Mankind was created to live forever and be the steward for planet earth.
But mankind sinned by choosing to disobey the Creator’s command and listening to the words of the fallen angel speaking through a serpent.
The curse of death followed.
The Creator made tunics for Adam and Eve from the skin of a slain innocent animal to cover their nakedness.
Animal sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin began, which ended at the cross of Calvary over 2000 years ago, when Christ, the Lamb of God, was crucified to redeem mankind.
The great controversy between good and evil continues and will get worse because Satan knows his time is running short.
Christ is the Creator’s answer to all the problems we are currently facing in the world today.
Amid all the chaos and problems in the world, those who are in-Christ will reflect His love and character and will stand fast doing God’s will though the heavens fall.
The Bible reveals that sin and sinners will be eradicated and the Creator will start all over again creating a new heaven and a new earth, and He will live here on earth with His redeemed.
