Goodness cannot create evil. If we apply what we know of physical light to Gen 1:3 and following verses we get mired pretty fast if we see it as only physical light...so I suggest we understand it as alluding to something else. Genesis 1:3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was...

One of the attributes of divinity is the eternal nature of the divine attributes so any interpretation they are 'received' must be rethought...

Deut 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is One [echad]. Genesis 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one [echad] flesh. Echad can refer to the word one and to the word unity, as Gen 2:4 indicates. We...

I presented scripture that animals were considered to be evil. To prod a discussion I suggested that that may imply a free will. I asked if their free will descent into sin might not imply they can be redeemed. If you don't want to think about scripture most people hide their eyes from so be...

Please consider that IF the reason we live here on earth with the weeds until we are holy enough for the weeds to be gathered and burnt without harm to us, Matthew 13:27-30: 27 The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come...

I also love my dogs but sinners can be loved, right? Are animals sinful? 1. The serpent was said to be cunning in evil ABOVE the rest of the animals which implies they are sinful lite so to speak. 2. The serpent was cursed ABOVE the other animals which implies they got a lighter curse for...

INDEED! But the logistics of that provision and its implementation would seem to need more scrutiny... The doctrine of our being created on earth as sinners liable to the judgement upon sinners of suffering and death obviously contradicts the loving character of GOD who is righteous and just...

GOD's sovereignty serves HIS loving, righteous and just nature. That is, HE cannot do anything that is NOT loving, righteous and just just because HE can because HE is sovereign! Sovereignty means that if HE wants to express HIS holiness into HIS creation HE can and will - HE is...

Perhaps they were some of the sons of GOD who sang HIS praise when HE gave proof of HIS divinity and eternal power by the creation of the physical universe as per Job 38:7 and Romans 1:18-20 and before conception He discussed with them some things about the lives they would have once they were...

YHWH said her distress was because the twins were fighting hard to kill each other, to crush each other to pieces, because, HE implied, they each wanted to be first born... Strong's Concordance: 7533. ratsats, to crush to pieces, NT to jostle for room.... Original Word: רָצַץ Transliteration...

Thank you, this is very interesting...but such interpretations do not avoid basing conclusions upon past decisions... The step further in the connection between Israel and in the beginning before the foundation of the word, could be that Israel [ALL the Sons of GOD: Job 38:7] was actually there...

...nor torture.

GOD is not waiting for GOD to do anything...GOD has given HIS sinful but legitimate children perfect lives to bring them to redemption and sanctification ACCORDING TO OUR NEEDS AS STUBBORN AND REBELLIOUS in our fragility. Becoming holy and only choosing righteousness is a prerequisite for the...

Calvinism seems to be the newest voice for the 'God who creates evil'...The Gnostics taught the first Christian version of the idea that God creates evil while the Eastern mystical and pagan religions have always worshipped God as the creator of evil. Most Christians of course repudiate the God...

It seems like I wrote that on Nov 7, 2021. It also seems that the contradiction in what I wrote was probably because I quoted the wrong post for some reason. Thanks for the heads up!

And here I thought the lie was fully discussed in Romans 1.

This answer is a waaaay to complicated for him... He is an shallow opportunist who sees his chance to curry the favour of those who accept a useless but possible answer to their frear.

YES...but not by magic but by the help of the Holy Spirit, Heb 12:5-11. The word saved has little meaning because it covers a long time process with different stages and catch points during it being worked out.

While I'm not Calvinist, I have been told often enough that though they understand the use of election to seperate people out, it is the cross they depend upon for their salvation, the fulfillment of the salvation promised by election.

Yes, when we try to understand a different pov it is always a struggle to decide if they are worshipping a false god correctly (according to his lies, Rom 1) or if they are worshiping the True GOD falsely, ie, making a mistake about HIS true revelation.
