"Man cannot redeem mankind. Only God can" Truer words were never spoken! Since my teens ( I am 76 now), as a hobby I have studied history, ancient, modern, local and world history. I know I am weird, but it has shown me the truth of Judson"s words. I have not found humans, ancient or modern, from any area of the world to be be all that praise worthy as a whole. There are individuals that are exceptions, but by and large few are. In fact some of our heroes in the faith such as David had their moments. Paul admitted his own sinful and lamented " woe is me; who can save me"? But Paul continues to thank God that in and by Jesus he is saved ( probably again and again!).

Very true... and truer if we remember that "the victors write the history"!
Yes, a very good point!
