The free will that God gave us allows to sin.

How many people are killed each day around the world?

Adultery sex with someone else’s spouse or a spouse cheating on their partner. Fornication, which is sex between unmarried people, prostitution, ****ography, group sex, rape, incest, pedophilia, bestiality, and necrophilia.

Stealing someone else’s property. Cheating people of their money or property, depriving workers of their just wage, or not giving employers a full day’s work for a full day’s pay. Embezzlement, fraud, tax evasion, vandalism etc.

Honor and truth. To not to lie. Intentionally deceive another by speaking a falsehood.


Do you know the true meaning as to why Jesus died on the cross?

You don't have to be Catholic or Christian to know! I know atheist who studied Theology and knows!

Nope TJ highway,
The "Free Will" that God gave to us did Not allow us to Sin... (Genesis chapter 2)

The Free Will that God gave to us allowed to experience all of God's creations completely untainted by Sin, as God originally intended for us to live...

Originally, we had the Free Will to fully enjoy Life without restraint, save for 1 commandment...

(Our innocence was similar to the animals that don't know Good from Evil... After our physical death and subsequent Resurrection, we will be restored, no longer having the capacity to Sin.)

Don't eat the Fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil... In the day that you do, you shall surely die...

Man chose to defy God and do the one thing that God warned us not to do, Eating the forbidden fruit of the knowledge of Good and Evil...(Genesis chapter 3)

It like being warned not to jump off a cliff, then complaining that you're all busted up as consequence...
Now we are Dust to Dust...

We were warned and now we suffer the consequences...
The byproduct of these consequences are some of the Wicked things you've mentioned...

But God is not the one to introduce Sin into our lives, or the capacity to Sin in our lives, that would be Lucifer, Satan the Devil himself...

The Reason Christ came into the World and was crucified on the Cross, is no mystery...

Jesus Is Love and Jesus Loves us, warts and all... Jesus came into the world to become the One Perfect Sacrifice for our Sins...
He came into the World to defeat Satan and his fellow fallen angels, the Demons...

Because of this Sacrifice, (Romans 10:9) whosoever puts their faith in Jesus shall be saved... Those who reject Jesus reject the Salvation that comes with Christ...

Man made a conscientious decision to defy God and accepted the Death that came with it...

Now Man has to make the conscientious decision to except God through the Sacrifice made by Jesus Christ in atonement for our sins...

It's as simple as that...

As for those who have no access to Christ, the Law (Romans 2:15,16) of God is written in all of our hearts, and God Alone will Judge them accordingly...
It is our job to spread the Gospel, the Holy Spirit will water the seads...

St Augustine's approach to the "free choice of the will" assumes that "there can be no denying that we have a will." Instead, Augustine defines "good will" as "a will by which we seek to live a good and upright life and to attain unto perfect wisdom" which, of course, assumes that it is free.

This is worth meditating on while considering the literal Latin translation of the first two are not meant for "stuff," but rather for God. The Catechism of the Catholic Church echoes this, saying, "Endowed with a spiritual soul, with intellect and with free will, the human person is from his very conception ordered to God and destined for eternal beatitude."

Why would we choose evil? Humans always choose to do good, it's just a matter of whether one chooses a lesser "good." This occurs when one chooses to allow passions and desires rule the soul, which tend toward things of this world.

Augustine answer's question why man chooses to do evil by clarifying that what makes humans distinct from animals is the fact that humans have the capability of reasoning and animals do not.

Augustine points out that some things that men possess uniquely as opposed to animals, such as the "power to jest and laugh" and "the love of praise and glory," are "of a lower order." Therefore, when reason rules the soul, "the more perfect [reason] is made subject to the less perfect [desire and passion]."
