The Lord hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
God created all things. God created me. God created evil. God created sin. God created me knowing I (and everyone) would sin. Then God sends me to hell. Fair?
I would like to hear the Christian opinion of, when looking at this verse, how me (or anyone) going to hell would be justified.
I agree God created all things, including the opportunity to sin, you and the devil and angels, etc.
Look up the work maaneh (it goes where things for himself is) and would be better translated in context like this
:The LORD hath made all things to give account unto Him: yea, even the wicked....
Which happens to fit the rest of the verses surrounding it about taking account on the judgement day.
Cherry pick much?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
