Christian Self-censorship of Dirty Words

[Faith No More]

Sane vs insane was an extreme example to explain what I meant. And that is that having a better ability vs a lesser ability (for whatever reason) to turn down temptation is taken into account when measuring someone's character. But this does not change natural law (objective morality). I'm not sure if God "creating" natural law is necessarily the best way to put it. Natural law is simply in accordance with God's nature. God is good and God is love. Love can't be hate. God couldn't have "created" a world where natural law said that murder is moral, for example. 

No? Then how come he's always killing in the OT? I suppose killing all the first born in Egypt and calling for people's death for things like working on the Sabbath are good and loving?

Also, I wouldn't say God specifically/purposely created people to have more difficulty vs less difficulty with any particular thing. He simply allows nature to take its coarse. It's in our genetics to be better at some things and worse at other things, to have our strengths and to have our weaknesses. God isn't around micromanaging the type of people we are born as and what goes on inside the womb when DNA is coming together to create a new person. 

When I say "who we are in our hearts" I'm basically just talking about what type of person someone is - whether a good person or a bad person (to put it simply).  

That is measured based on the choices we make.... combined with our ability to make those choices, our knowledge, our intent, what is going on in our minds when we make them, etc. That's why I keep using the extreme example of an insane person. They may have done something really bad but if they were literally out of their minds and blacked out when they did it, it doesn't necessarily mean they are bad people.

But we now know is that what you call letting "nature take its course" is that who we are is greatly shaped by the environment we grow up in. Our brains are reactive and develop based upon how we are raised. For instance, we know that children that are abused are much more likely to turn to violence themselves. Surely a kid is innocent when/she is born. They can't help who they are born to, so being raised by evil parents is not their fault. Yet that will largely determine who they become later in life. Why is God judging people for their character when much of what that character is is determined by circumstances beyond their control?
