1. God created the world, all of it.

2. Therefore, everything in the world - good or bad - is also created by God. In addition to the Isaiah quote above, see:

Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it?

3. God gives us the set of proper rules to follow, therefore God decides what is a good deed and what is a sin.

4. It is God who decides who will sin and how:

2 Thessalonians 2:11-12
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Ezekiel 20:25-26
25 Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live;
26 And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the Lord.

5. Therefore, God creates sin, by: a) defining what sin is, and b) deluding some people into following sinful ways/rules.

Do you understand it now, or should I try to dumb it down further for ya, sweetie?

Do you think that I would be praying for you if I hated you, sweetie?

1 Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, 2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. 3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed? 4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing? 5 Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all? 6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?


3:3–6 This series of rhetorical questions illustrates the seriousness, certainty, and righteousness of God’s impending action against Israel. Each question is framed so as to require a resounding "no" as its answer.

Robby, do you think you're some kind of modern day Christian Socrates or something?

So...



Does that mean that you finally agree with me, that God creates sin?

Because you seem to understand that it is exactly what it says in Amos 3:6, yet your statement lacks such an affirmation.

The poor thing is clearly retarded. The sad thing is that not only he cannot understand what other people write, but apparently he cannot comprehend the Word of God either.

Thankfully, there is hope for our sweet Billy:



I will continue to pray for the poor fellow. Maybe God will decide to have mercy for him after all!

There are no homophobes here, friend! Why would anyone be afraid of a sissy girly-man?

The Universe is very old. Of this we are well aware. It is now over 6,000 years old. Your foolish theories are ridiculous. I believe you are likely a Democrat and a homosexual. Of course, all Democrats are homosexuals, but I am trying to be clear.

DemonicRedneck666, if you believe in the devil, then you obviously believe in his nemesis and captain of our team, Jesus Christ. You're just on the wrong side of the playing field.

And try not to confuse demons flying around in spaceships for "aliens".

There are thousands of religions and beliefs, many before Christianity even showed signs of occurring. How do you know yours is correct? Over religions state how the universe came to be and why we are here, does that mean there correct?

Young lady, believe it or not but this very question is the first step to knowing Jesus.

Glory!

The answer is in God's holy word: the BIble(KJV1611)

2nd Timothy 3:16 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness"
Deuteronomy 4:2 "Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you."
Revelation 22:18-19 "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."
Psalm 12:6-7 "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever."

Jesus, the creator of all things tells us of the inerrancy of the Bible(KJV1611).

God bless you.

So? The Bible says that Satan will mislead many, and only a few will reach Heaven.

Matthew 7:14 "Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."

...before Christianity even showed signs of occurring....

Appeal to antiquity. That's a fallacy. And the Bible says Jesus has been here forever:

John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

... How do you know yours is correct?...

They have faith. That's all God asks for in the Bible.

... Over religions state how the universe came to be and why we are here, does that mean there correct?

That's ridiculous. There can be only one truth.

[NeverCross]

So what if the bible says it is right, over religions have books that say its religion is correct. Anything becomes a religion these days, even Star Wars is a religion. There were religions before Christianity that said an evil power will mislead them, now prove to me that your religion is correct. If someone can actually make me believe in God without just saying its in the bible or some crap I will go Christian, lets see if you can.

[Didymus Much]

Of course, they do. What kind of idiot would write a book saying the other guy's religion is correct?

...There were religions before Christianity that said an evil power will mislead them...

See, there's one difference for you. Christianity says that God will mislead them.

2 Thessalonians 2:11 "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:"

...now prove to me that your religion is correct...

How about you go learn the difference between faith and proof? If you have one, you have no need of the other.

...its in the bible or some crap...

Hey, another fallacy! That one's called "poisoning the well". And you didn't think you'd learn anything here, did you?

...I will go Christian, lets see if you can.

Guess what? This forum isn't about you. Go to hell, see if I care.

[NeverCross]

Not very Christian now is it, not helping your fellow man save his soul. The bible says help your fellow Samaritan, you didn't so does that mean you are going to hell. I think it is because you cant prove god, so good job.
