Well for one thing, The Word of God says, that all men & women are born into sin. Thus making all men women & children evil. Psalms 53: 1-3 The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity, there is none that does good. God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God. This is talking about the real God of heaven and earth not an idol. 3. Every one of them is gone back: they're altogether become filthy: there is (NONE) that does good, (NO, NOT ON). Then, another scripture, which is found in Romans 3: 10 As it is written/ there is (NONE) righteous no, not one. 11. There is none that understands, there is none that seeks after God. (That is the true God) 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable, there is (NONE) that does good, no, (NOT ONE).
Now Is the Time for All Good Men was created in 1967.
