Why do we behave the way we do?

I have seen documentaries about animals and I see that when a mare gives birth, the foal (baby) comes out and stands within the hour pacing as if he had done it before, not so the human baby whom we have to teach having passed several months or even a year. How do animals know they have to attach to their mother’s breast to get fed, yet humans have to be taught?  And some human babies do not even want to suck hard to get the food out because it’s easier to feed automatically like in the womb, and that is why they rather drink from a bottle with somewhat a larger opening. They also have to be taught to suck. I may think we are lazy to do what we are supposed to. So, the answer to my question before is precisely that: We have to be taught for everything. Animals act by instinct (thank God) but children have to be taught in order to behave the way the parents want them to. We, parents, are also a role model for them and have to behave accordingly if we want them to follow our steps.

Sometimes we do not have an exemplary life for our child to learn by, or to follow our steps, but we can change that “renewing ourselves”. If we are loving parents we are going to teach them the right way and will look for the right model for them to follow; the wrong one would be a disaster. The right one is Jesus Himself who taught us how to conquer, not for this life but for the eternal one by believing in Him. I hope many would believe. Peter the apostle said: The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.(2Peter 3.9)

 I was never taught the DNA defeated “theory of evolution” because I always went to Christian schools, but that truth of being taught by reading dismisses any “smart theory point”: I’ve never heard an ape reading.  Some people who do not believe in God want to make us look like fools but what they do not know is that we have had an encounter with the Living God and that is why we can affirm that what the Bible says is 100% accurate. But we have to read it, on a daily basis and pray constantly to learn and not perish.

Once we start learning, when we are ready, the Lord will give us the precious gift of The Holy Spirit who comforts and guides us throughout our lives to help us see things wisely. The apostle Paul said it: “Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the spirit of God dwells in you?  If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him,  for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are. Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is “wise in this age”, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, ‘HE IS THE ONE WHO CATCHES the wise IN THEIR CRAFTINESS.’ and again ‘THE LORD KNOWS THE REASONINGS of the wise, THAT THEY ARE USELESS.’ So then let no one boast in men. For all things belong to you” (1 Corinthians 3. 16-21)

I would like to congratulate all the mothers, especially those who make an effort to teach their children well, in the “foolishness” of Christ so they can become wise. My three girls included. BLESSINGS!
