You need to lighten up some, it's you that's reading into my post something that makes you mad. When I preach it's about salvation to those who are interested, now with that said could I have possibly had any intention of preaching to you.
Now all we need is evidence to support your assertions and we can finally get this debate off the ground.
By the way, what if your choice in life is "none of the above"? Is that just a euphemism for "hell"?
THere is another problem with that
Choice!
IF a god is all knowing - choice does not actually exist. THe only possible outcome of every circumstance is what the god already knows. It would NOT be possible to CHOOSE something else. ANd since humans are finite characters - the idea that a god would KNOW a choice of its creation (a person) before we existed - implies we were created to fulfill that - not to have a "free" choice.
At the same time - since the god created EVERYTHING - and saw it was "good" - and NO other being with the power of creation exists - then sin cannot exist - since it was created by god - and it is GOOD.
