This omnipotent, omniscient god sets Adam up to sin by eating the forbidden fruit.
Your next response should have been to ask why.
I would have said because the bible points out that all real choice has a foundation of sin.
God wanted us to choose Him, and knew He would indure the pain of sin inorder for us to be given the oppertunity to be set free/or return home.
Quote:Then god feels so hurt that he demands the death of every human being thereafter.which is complete internalized and self contained. He demands blood then provides it. All He asks in return is to offer respect to the one who illustrated this whole process.
Quote:It's not about all our individual sins, since we are supposed to have been born in sin and none of asked to be born.That is a bunch of religious nonsense not even found in the bible in a central location.
Quote:None of us asked to be trapped in a body that craves sex.So?
Quote:Why should god feel hurt when he set the whole thing up unless he is a masochist who gets off on hurt?Again based on the primise of if you love something let it go and if it returns it is yours...
He let us go the way of sin. would it hurt you any less if you let someone go and they betray you deeply? what even if you are ready to take them back does it hurt any less (the betrayal?) Now what if they do not return at all?
