When you use the word “make“ it makes me wonder if you’re proposing some sort of genetic engineering? If so then you’re looking to play God. If not then I’m uncertain as to how you want to implement the idea of ‘making’ people avoid injuring one another. In my faith tradition all of us are born with a sin nature.

The secret to overcoming this tendency is to accept something called Grace. This is a supernatural fuel supply which permits us to overcome and transcend any injuries that occur. It’s a sort of secret, spiritual resource available to His followers. Grace is the power and desire to act according to God’s will, not our own.

His Son, Jesus said, “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:35

I can quietly assure you that I have already found peace with God. It’s encouraging to know that others can do the same. The result of the search is a confidence that transcends human analysis or understanding. Why? It begins with faith, a quality that defies reason and logic. Just
In this era man has rapidly transferred his allegiance and devotion away from God and toward himself. As in Babel, Sodom, ancient Israel, and ancient Greece, man has begun afresh to worship his own image. In a fit of narcissism, he has displaced the living God as the central focus
The Lord uses ten notable methods to communicate with His people, and we are wise to learn them all. We become increasingly mature as we “allow” God to speak on His terms, without demanding that He communicate in the ways we understand best. Admittedly, some of His methods are dramatic,
I did, although I would prefer to exchange the phrase “religious person” for “spiritual believer.” Religion is man’s attempt to prove himself to God. It separates and objectifies others. It controls adherents by requiring ritualized performance. Religion is a ‘Tower of Babel’ attempt to justify ourselves to God. But what
