A citizen for instance has freedom of movement. But this does not mean that he should drive his car right into President’s bedroom. That is a ride to prison.

So you can see that there are limits to human freedom -- those rights have to operate within confines of rule of law.

A man who disobeys laws of State is in effect challenging authority of that State -- sovereignty, which means right to rule. Now, when Adam and Eve decided to eat forbidden fruit in exercise of their free will after being deceived to do so by Satan, they were in effect challenging God’s legal right to rule. They were effectively saying to God: “We can tell good from bad. It is better for us to be independent of you. We can rule ourselves without you.”

That was an affront -- a rebellion against their Creator. So God has allowed man past 6,000 years to see if he can do without his creator. In those years, man has tried every political and economic system. And result?

Helmut Schmidt, former German Chancellor tells us: “We humans . . . have always only partially governed world, and most of time very badly . . . . We have never governed it in total peace”. Do you agree with him? With all man’s best efforts, do we have peace or pieces of peace? (I am not playing with words.)

But how are we children of Adam and Eve who didn’t have a bite at this fruit, concerned in this matter?

It is because of law of genetics. When our first parents disobeyed, they became sinners -- imperfect people. And imperfect parents cannot give birth to perfect children. So we have all inherited result of sin -- suffering and death from Adam and Eve.

Here comes questions: why did God plant a forbidden tree in garden? Did he know or not that Adam and Eve would eat fruit? Why did he allow Satan to deceive them? Why did he not destroy sinning trio? And who made Satan Devil in first place? Questions. Questions. Questions.

The answers to these questions in next installment will surprise you as we consider consequences of rebellion. (To be continued)

“Ask not for whom bell tolls/It tolls for thee.” -- John Donne.

“Pale Death, with impartial step, knocks at poor man’s cottage and palaces of kings.” -- Horace.

“Time goes you stay? Ah no! Time stays, we go.” -- Austin Dobson.

“Life is not worth living. Existence is only a burden.” -- Mark Twain.

“When gods want to punish us, they answer our prayer.” -- Oscar Wilde.

“We men are wretched things, and gods, who have no cares themselves, have woven sorrow into very pattern of our lives.” -- Homer.

“Solomon Grundy/Born on a Monday/. . .Died on Saturday /Buried on Sunday/This is end /Of Solomon Grundy.” -- J.D. Halliwell.

The story of Solomon Grundy is story of us all. Somebody was once asked to define man; and he simply said: “He was born, he suffered, he died.”

The account of human suffering have elicited different reactions from various victims. Some believe that God is responsible for wickedness and human suffering. As an example , one whose house was shattered by an earthquake in a South American country said :” God, see what you have done to us! ”.

Yet, others feel that there is no God, or if he exists, he doesn’t really care about us. Asked a World War I victim: “Where was God when we needed him?”

The depth of pain that is caused by wickedness and suffering in this world cannot be fathomed. Said a Nazi holocaust victim: “If you could lick my wound, it would poison you”.

Now question remains: Why does God permit wickedness and suffering? Does he really exist? When would wickedness and suffering end?

But first, what is origin of wickedness?
