Wisdom: Far from laying the blame on man, Dede. If the storyhad ended with man losing his place as the regent of the earth, then there would be no need for this discussion.
There is more to the story. And for so long, many have been oblivious to the complete story about man. For this reason, men still live and teach a lie that the devil rules this world.
Dede and Adrenaline, when man sinned he lost his dominion over the earth. And so, he was subject to sin and death. For him to regain his dominion or rule over the earth he would have had to take it back from the devil.
He received his right over the earth on legal grounds, and lost it on the same. If he had to get it back, there would be noother way but to do so legally.
“For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.”
(Romans 5:19 KJV).
So if a man lost it, it would have taken another man to get it back.
Seeing his first man lose the sovereignty over the earth, God moved to retrieve what was lost. However, a man gave it away, and it would take only a man to reclaim it.
God is not a man. But God so loved the world, and “Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.
For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants. For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.” (Hebrews2:14-17,NIV)
So God became man in other to restore man back to his place and even more. The question is, “was God successful? Did he restore man to his place as regent over the earth?” The answers to these questions would declare man or the devil as the one WHO RUNS THE WORLD.
