Why do most people expect the world to be perfect?

Question

God tells us in His word that because of sin, we would have many disasters, famines, diseases etc.....this is all because of the fall of man. (See Genesis 2-4)

So why do many still think we should have a perfect world? We dont' even deserve a perfect world! It is clear why the world is the way it is....the Bible explains this perfectly!

Answer 1

In John chapter 14 it says that in this world we will have trouble, but take heart, God has overcome the world.

For the Christian, this is indeed comfort and hope.

It is because of Adam and Eve's sin that sin was brought into the world, and we are all born with a sinful nature. Therefore, we have all had part of this, but there is a remedy for sin, and that is through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We can be forgiven when we come to God in repentance for our sin.

Answer 2

1. 'Most' people do not expect the world to be perfect. I have no idea what kind of people you're hanging out with, but most of the rest of the planet knows that the world is as it is, and that's imperfect.

2. We have disasters because nature is random and not in control. There are storms because of weather patterns. Earthquakes because of plate tectonics, and volcanoes because the earth's core is molten. Become educated.

3. Yes, it IS clear why the world is the way it is, and you don't need a bible to tell you. The truth is available to anyone who is willing to crack a 5th grade level textbook.

Answer 3

Jesus said the world would be corrupt to the end.
Matt 24-25
Rev 18-22
1 & 2 Thes
We should still pray for this world and leaders.
2 Tim 2
Still preach the gospel to a lost and dying world.
Mark 16:15-20
Romans 10

Answer 4

I don't.
But I also don't believe it is not perfect because of the man sins. And I don't believe we deserve all that suffering.
I just know it is like this because it is the way that this stage of the Man life on earth have to go with.
This is just as a test and we will travel to the other life which is different than this on the earth.
So, it is just a stage!!!

Answer 5

Sin derives from the Greek word 'amartia' the meaning of which is loosing/missing the target.
What was mankind's original target?
What was the original divine blue print pertaining to human DNA\RNA coding?
Humans were/are created perfect with the gift of free will - along with the gift of death - able to create things of our own device.
However the human creations can not fall far from the Universal Laws and in order for us to create we must be aware of how things work in the universe.
God is a willing Teacher as far as Universal Laws are concerned but to be taught by God one must maintain constant and clear communication line with God (clear mind of harmful thoughts and clear heart from sinful desires).
When we took it up on us to decide as to what's good and what's bad we violated the Prime Directive, we ignored God. (Arrogance)
Consequently we severed the communication line btw our Teacher and our True Selves.
That resulted to locking our selves out of God's "classroom", the perfect state of being-ness, and initiated the process of death.
Never the less perfection is still coded with in our genes and the choice is yet before each and every one of us.
We have to choose not to pay attention to the baffled noise of human knowledge and give head to the clear inner voice, within our own consciousness.
God's love for His/Her children is alive. His/Her arms are waiting to embrace us and welcome us home.
After all, He/She IS the Perfecting Factor.

What's keeping us away from our Creator other than our own subliminal guilt?

Answer 6

The only condition of the Abrahamic covenant was: "walk before me and be ye perfect". Law demands perfection, but it cannot deliver it, because it is faulty (wrongful convictions), accusation-all (John 5:45) and condemning (John 8:3-11): IMPerfect. On the contrary part, Grace is perfect = merciful.

God is not just love, but "perfect love": 1John 1.
Perfect love(God) is "also merciful": Luke 6:36.
The edification is: be ye perfect: Matthew 5:48
The exhortation is: go on unto perfection: Heb 6:1
Going on unto Heb 13:25: Grace with you all. Amen.

Perfection is notably "all grace", which is no law at all.
The God of "all grace" make you perfect: 1Peter 5:10.
Such is notably the "after" part of before/after (ye/you).
Such is also the "us-ward" part of (them vs them) vs us.
The Lord is longsuffering to "us-ward", so none perish.

X-ians often say we're not perfect, just saved.
Bible says we're not just saved, but perfected.

God our Saviour will have all men saved AND aware.
Saved can also mean graced, and also "delivered".
The saved part is global. The awareness also global.

Prayer: Our Father, deliver us from "evil": Matthew 6:13
Answer: We are delivered from the "law": Romans 7:6
What remaineth is global awareness the "law" = "evil".
The law is good, yes; But law is "both good and evil".
"Both good and evil" ends badly: "evil concupiscence".
His Grace is good only, never evil. So the conclusion is:

The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ WITH YOU ALL. AMEN.

Answer 7

I think it's easy for most of us to talk about problems in the world because they don't directly affect us as often as people in third world countries. I bet most of us would see things much differently if we had no home or went to bed hungry every night.

Answer 8

The word deserve is stupid. We live like we do because we created it. We pollute, war, argue, kill, abuse, and every other thing you can think of. There is no perfect world because people chose to be the way they are.

Answer 9

The reason the Jews rejected Jesus is because they were looking for someone to free them from the tyranny of the Roman Empire. Jesus told them "My kingdom is not of this world". He warned us of what was to come. We should not be surprised at what we see happening around us. These things must happen so that all can be fulfilled. Our focus should not be on the evil of this world and attempting to fix it but on preparing ourselves for the world to come.

Answer 10

Do they really think we should have a perfect world, when in fact perfection starts with the person themselves. Each one get one.
