Featured Death before the age of accountability

That would be a sadistic god who, out of his own ego, caused physical defects for his own personal lime light.

In His sovereignty Jesus, who is God, didn't override this man's defects from birth so that He might heal his blindness as a witness that He was the Son of God.

Yes, they were fearfully and wonderfully made by God in Adam (Gen 2:7/Acts 17:26/Ps 139:13-16) God made Adam before sin entered the world. If God creates individuals, this side of the fall, then God is designing sinners . That would make Him the author of sin and death instead of Satan.

 

Here's what I said: "That would be a sadistic god who, out of his own ego, caused physical defects for his own personal lime light."

Note the small "g". I wasn't referring to the God I know in the Bible. I was referring to the god of your own making.

 

I believe that the subject of this thread has morphed into another....I'll start another topic. I'll simply call it "Job"

 

Bingo. God created mankind when He created Adam. Even Eve came from Adam. Adam was created in "the likeness of God". Since God is Spirit and Adam was flesh & blood this isn't speaking of Adam's form, but his likeness to God's righteousness. Adam was created immortal & sinless.

When Adam sinned the humanity within him was polluted with self-love. That is why David, in speaking his birth, said: 'Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me."

If God creates infants then God is creating sinners. That would make God responsible for sin & death, instead of Satan.

God has saved all men in One man, Christ. But not all will accept this truth.

 

Let's look at my quotes:

Gen 2:7 "Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being."

Act 17:26 "And he (God) made from one (Adam) every nation of men to live on all the face of the earth.

Ps 139:13-16 For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. 15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth; 16 Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Your book were all written The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them.

God created you and me when He created Adam. Adam fell and the only thing he could pass to his offspring was a life that had sinned and a life in slavery to sin. God doesn't create a life
every time a woman becomes pregnant. That biology was set into motion at the creation.

 

Please note Ps 51:15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth....

Just as Adam was made from the earth (i.e., the dust of the ground) our frame was also made then too. God created all men in one man, Adam. When God created Adam He created us.

In Adam we were made "in the likeness of God". In Adam we were holy and blameless. In Adam we were immortal and sinless, but Adam sinned and because of his sin we received his fallen life at birth. That life is sinful and in slavery to indwelling iniquity. This God did not create!

 

This concept can be seen elsewhere:

Gen 25:23 And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in your womb, and two manner of people shall be born of you; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.

Heb 7:9 We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes, 10 for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.

2 Cor 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that one died for all, therefore all died;

 

Heretical.

 

That statement goes against scripture:

Ps 51:5 "Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me."

Rom 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

1 Cor 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption....53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

 

I'll let Paul help you:

Rom 7:18 "For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh (sinful nature (NIV)); for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not."

Rom 7:22 For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man (i.e., the converted mind), 23 but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind (i.e., my converted mind/heart) and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members.

 

• God the Father didn't murder Christ. The Romans & Jews, through Satan, had Jesus placed on a wooden cross.
• God the Son didn't die. The Son of Man died the 2nd death.
