The world lost this at the first compromise, way back in the Garden.

Yes, on the one hand that is true. But the fact that we can choose right from wrong is what leaves us continually guilty. We choose wrong most of the time unless it is self-serving to choose right.

Some people use their theology to claim that no one can help doing wrong. I disagree with that perspective. We can help it but we choose not to most of the time. If we were 100% evil 100% of the time the argument could be made that we are not guilty because we can’t help it. We can help it. Sometimes we choose right, even if from selfish motives. We are guilty.

As for this subject, you would think the self interest of raising a wholesome son would motivate parents to do something about this. But people have ceased caring or they have inverted the definition of right from wrong: Good is evil and evil is good.

We could turn things around by humbling ourselves and repenting before God. More likely than not it will take judgment. Sad. Remember after 9/11 how churches suddenly filled up and everyone seemed to remember their accountability toward God and were calling on Him for help? We humans are stupid in that way. We have to be slapped in the face with the consequences before we turn around.
