There is no simple answer as it depends on various factors such as individual beliefs, cultural influences, and personal experiences.Some philosophical and religious perspectives suggest that humans are inherently good at their core, with the capacity for compassion, empathy, and altruism. They argue that negative behaviors and actions are often a result of external factors or societal influences.On the other hand, there are viewpoints that propose that humans have the potential for evil due to factors like greed, selfishness, and aggression. They argue that negative behaviors are an inherent part of human nature and need to be controlled or restrained by societal norms and moral codes.In this episode we explore the influence of culture and society on our understanding of morality, the role of religion in shaping our perceptions, and how these beliefs impact our interactions with others. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Bible does not offer any guideline on how to balance family and church. The Bible, however, establishes the order of importance between family and church. In 1 Timothy 3:4-5, says that the minister must, “Manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God’s church?”. The lesson here is that it is hard to care for God’s church if we are unable to learn caring for your home. It is hard to be successful doing church until we are successful caring for our homes. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
