None are without sin, meaning the our population of Heaven will be all Sinners. The people who will be sent to Hell are unrepentant in their sin. That's an important distinction. The population of Heaven and hell will have people who have commited the act same acts all their lives. The only difference the population of Hell turned from God and the atonement He offers.
Quote:so " paul starts in romans 1 identifying what Evil is and How God deals with Evil people. " - how a just and fair and loving God should "deal with evil people" is to apologize for the suffering that he created for humanity and spending the rest of eternity making up for it - not sending his confused innocent creations to eternal tortureWhy? Evil is the absence of innocence. Even from your pop morality world view, you can identify evil (more evil than you anyway.) Say for example, Jihadie John, (the isis guy with a british accent cutting hostages heads off with a dull knife.) Even the most morally watered down person in the united states can see the evil this man has in himself. So you just because you live to a different standard make eternal reperations to him and people like Him? meaning you must let him have full access to you and those you love if he so chooses.. Or should this 'man' be seperated from you and your community?
The problem of Evil is not the acts themselves Because given enough time (say eternity future) everyone's 'morality' will degrade to the level of jihadie john or worse if the have the seed of evil in their hearts. We can look at our own history to see this 'moral decay' just with in a few generations. Imagine what we would be like if evil were left unchecked for millions of years.
Quote:so the god of your bible created evil put his innocent creations in a world he allowed to be corrupted by evil and allowed the people to be deceived by evil and sin and then is going to judge them for sinning and being decieved by the evil that he put here ...Maybe read Genesis 1..God did not create an Evil world nor did he put man into one. We welcomed it with open arms. What was done in the garden is repeated in each and every one of our lives. Meaning we (according to Paul/Romans 1-2) select Evil or decide to repent of our sin
ok go on
