10 questions for your pastor

[Darkstar]

1. God did not create man with original sin, this came only after Adam and Eve disobeyed God. Now we are all born with a sin nature ie. we will sin because the ability to sin is necessarily part of us.

So, god told Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree of knowledge of ggod and evil. After eating from the tree, there is a marked change in both of them. Conclusion: the fruit changed them by giving thm knowledge of good and evil. Implications: They did not have knowledge of good and evil before, thus they did not know right from wrong. To top it all off god lets the devil mess with them. He set them up to fail so he would have an excuse to make them wordhip him.

3. Jesus did not kill Himself, though He did allow it to happen, there are scriptures that shows how he could have prevented it. All sin was placed on Him so that we could be forgiven by choosing Christ as our savior. For those who choose not to receive Him as savior, their sins will not be forgiven and they will go before God the Father for judgement. So the condemned you spoke of, are those who do not believe in what Christ did for them.

It was all part of god's plan to kill Jesus (who was also god). Why did he even need to get Jesus killed in the first place? He's god, couldn't he have used a better method? Also, he says he could have prevented it, but this is the one surefire time that he could not have faked/lied about a miracle and he doesn't come through. Why die, rather than free himself? If he proved himself to be god, people wouldn't have taken so long to embrace christianity.
