Why So Much Killing? - A Biblical Answer
Many people taunt Christianity as being useless in stopping violence and killing. But if one looks closely at God's word they will find that God will not stop the inevitability of man seeking his own demise.
An example of God letting man carry out his own destruction is depicted in the very first killing in the bible where Cain kills his brother Abel. God tries to stop Cain but it is useless. Cain murders his brother Abel. Cain is then exiled and forced to flee. Eventually Cain did suffer the consequences for his act by having all of his decedents carry out the punishment due Cain by killing all of each other instead.
When Cain was allowed to live he thought God was a pushover and enjoyed the freedom from any retribution. But God doesn't see just the immediate, but also the infinite, meaning that while Cain is set free and allowed to flee, all of his descendants will carry out the sentence due Cain by killing each other. Again, Cain's descendants inherited the consequences of Cain's murderous sin which they carry out against each other.
Another example is Noah's son Ham who violated his father's privacy and performed some unspeakable sin while Noah was unconscious. The same sin was repeated when both of Lot's daughters, who were fleeing the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah along with their father, had sex with their father while he was unconscious. In both cases the punishment for these sins was death. But like in the case of Cain murdering his brother Abel, the sentence against Ham and both of Lot's daughters was deferred to all of their decedents where they will eventually seek to kill each other.
It is interesting that the descendants of Lot's daughters today represent the Shiite and Sunni Muslims respectively. And the punishment due Lot's daughters for their sin against their father is carried out by their descendants seeking judgment against each other, as well as against one another.
As a belief in Jesus Christ wanes throughout the world the violence caused by inherited ancestral sins will only increase.
Notice that those inhabitants who sinned during Noah's time, and during Lot's involvement in Sodom and Gomorrah, would not produce any offspring. Therefore there would not be any descendants that could carry out any retribution for egregious sins by exacting it from each other.....so God initiated complete and instant judgment against those people. God let Cain, Ham, and both of Lot's daughters flee after their sin, in order to give their decedents a chance for redemption through a belief in God's son Jesus Christ!
The only way to for those under the cloud of death caused by an ancestor's unspeakable sin is to believe in the death and resurrection of God's son Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ paid the price for all of our sins on the cross AND there is no longer any condemnation when we believe in God's son Jesus Christ!
Believe in the death and resurrection of God's son Jesus Christ and rest assured you'll find peace in your soul (hint: though the indwelling Holy Spirit) that will defy explanation, and all the rage and anger of a murderous condemnation will disappear!
God Bless
