So let me get this straight: you kill yourself and go to hell. But that was not your fault at all because you believe God allowed sin to enter into your life?
What?! Ok I'm going to see if I can make sense of that post.
Ok, if god designed and created everything and being all knowing, anything that happens is his fault directly. If he knows the results/outcome of his design and creation then he is to blame.
Just like if I created an RC for which I knew it will go and kill someone but continue to create it anyway.
I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say. Kinda confused with that post there.
I believe god allowed sin? I don't actually believe in god or sin. So I'm not sure where your going with this.
"Ok, if god designed and created everything and being all knowing, anything that happens is his fault directly. "
That was what I was trying to get at.
"First Corinthians 10:13 promises us that God will not permit a greater trial than we can bear." - http://www.gty.org/Resources/Articles/A189
Note that he says "trial." This shows that God's testing us, and it's up to us whether we pass or fail. Being omnipotent, He already knows what our final grade is.
Being omnipotent, He could have just said, "You, you and you are going to hell, while the rest of us be in eternal glory." However, that would make no sense to us at all, and that is why he created the earth to prove that His judgment is sound.
