God does create us through the acts of our parents, and we're all born with a soul.
But we're given free agency, a mind, and a heart. We have choices in life. There have been many testimonies about folks who have traveled the wrong road in life, figured it out, found God, and turned their lives around. There are also those who don't. They are brought up in unfortunate circumstances and even the worst of criminals have often said, "I knew there was a God, but He didn't help me."
That comes into free agency. Only the sickest of criminals deny God, and sometimes mental illness comes in and when the brain can't cope or compensate with drives and emotions, it can seem God condemns some to Hades.
Some commit suicide as well. If you're born with a mental issue, cannot cope, there are warning signs. Every serial killer, every murderer, rapist, ALL displayed warning signs at one point or another of abberant behavior, whether torturing animals, uncontrolled anger, unreported spousal abuse, any uncivilized behavior, even shoplifting, vandalizing, stealing a car for no reason, drug activity -- the list goes on.
That's why it's important we Christians watch. Be vigilant. If there is something amiss, report it to your local law enforcement agency. I know this for a fact; excercising our free agency in doing what's right could and does save lives.
One of my parent's friends was alarmed their son had killed the family dog. Mom called us. I was called to the scene and it was appalling. I notified our detective and upon further investigation on his computer, we found he had fantasies of killing people. Even a well-set-up-plan for a neighbor he didn't like. That poor dog was just the beginning. The juvenile was arrested immediately before he could wreak any more harm.
So we need to use our free agency to understand between right and wrong, and stop those who are mentally ill and please let us cops help.
See it, hear it, feel it, report it. Yes we are our brother's keeper. And sometimes when people like this can be helped before it goes further, congratulations! You may have saved someone's life and I'm very grateful.
Just my take on this.
