Is God the Author of Sin?

[freeatlast]

Well, I have my own thoughts on that, I am sure some will disagree.

How can God create anything absolutely perfect? Only he is absolutely perfect, and therefore anything he would create must be inferior to himself. It must be inferior simply because anything he would create would be a creation, and he is not a creation, he is the Creator, he has always existed and always will.

Now, I know that sounds terrible as though God could not create something good. He could and did, the angels and men were created sinless. But they could not be perfectly Holy, that would be equal with God himself which is impossible.

This is one reason I disagree with those who say God could have made man without the ability to sin. Only God has the quality of being perfectly Holy.

You said this. The angles could be perfectly holy. Then do you beieve that they are just holy?

Apparently it makes him stupid.


Why is this behavior tolerated?????????

If this keeps up all the bb members with manners will eventually leave the board and all that will be left is....well you know.

Thanks Amy, but I have no problem handling Luke and his cronies. I figure the more of them that attack me, the more convicted they must be. Not saying I am anything like Stephen in Acts 7. but boy, he got them all upset, they gnashed their teeth, stopped their ears, and all rushed upon him at once.

If I'm making them mad, I must be getting through a little bit. :thumbsup:

Why do you tolerate the absurd rudeness of people who agree with your position and then whine when people who do not agree with you answer back in kind?

In the 6 years I've been here I've tolerated a lot. I've been called a stupid woman who needs to stay in the kitchen, a heretic, ignorant, God hater...you name it. But your behavior is over the top. It needs to stop. You are a poor excuse for a pastor. Yes, I said that.

Perhaps you misunderstand me. It could very well be true that there are angels who have not sinned, but they all have the ability to sin as Satan and many other angels have.

But God cannot sin.

So how can God make anything equal to himself? He would cease to be God.
