No all the events before Christ had to be, the flood removed all the people from the face of the earth so that God could start anew with mankind, they had become so evil there was no hope for humanity unless God destroyed them and started over with Noah and his family. I could go on about Abraham, the nation of Israel formed in Egypt, the Exodus and ect. but it would be a wall of text and many here would be sure to let me know it. What God did was to work through history to bring His Son into this world at the appropriate time so the Gospel of Jesus could be spread throughout the world. Like your friend told you we are not responsible for the sin of Adam and Eve, however that sin brought the ability for all to sin into this creation and the innocence of man was lost, so now we are held accountable for our own sins and no one elses, with Jesus as our savior we have the hope to escape our sin but only if we believe.If I remember correctly, god had to be all powerful right? So how come there was no other way than destroying every soul in the world including innocent children?? And remember, It was not their fault to be such sinners, It was because they were cursed by their ancestors (Adam and Eve not apes). So he killed all those people just to make things go according to his plan? Damn, its more idiotic than I thought.. And you're saying that the guy who came up with those ideas, also created the whole universe??
I asked this question, because I wanted to demonstrate how stupid you sound when you try to explain it. Thank you Godschild for proving my point...
That was not you stated point and since you do not care to understand then why have us waste so much time on your petty joke.
Well well well, don't get too mad now.. It's not that I don't care to understand, it's just I understand quite clearly but you seem to struggle understanding how your logic fails when you try to explain it. So my question was not a joke, but your answer kinda was... My question was kind a rhetorical question to demonstrate how silly your idea of original sin was. I knew you'd came up with something like that, but I didn't expect you would say "all the things before Christ had to be and there was no other way" that was really bullshit, even by the theists standards. You practically said god made all those people suffer so that he can bring his son into earth on exact time he foretold he would. Nevertheless, I answered your reply, and explained how your logic fails, so it would be nice to hear something about my answer, and not just some complains..
