G-d created the world in seven days (symbolically) and he may have used evolution to create. The thing that I can't seem to understand is the scenario with Adam and Eve. We all have heard the story of them eating the forbidden apple, that Satan tempted them to do, and then sin was 'born.'
Ok, so whether you believe in the word 'sin,' or not, lets just discuss this at a general meaning. So was sin really born? From what? G-d perhaps or some other cosmic fixation that goes back to G-d? Would that then make G-d imperfect since He created something that made Him have to send His Son to die for the "sins," that He created? This just doesn't make sense. Regardless if he is imperfect or not, I still choose to believe in G-d, who is more perfect than I can ever be. Your thoughts anyone?
First thing here is to get God "creating" sin out of your mind. Sin is the absence of God. Sin has no life, or purpose but to exclude God. Satan was the original sinner! He wanted/wants what God has.
Secondly, man was created with "free-will", because God wanted us to choose Him, magnify His love, and share His divinty with us... without us being robots.
Thirdly, God cursed us with death for sinning ("If you eat the fruit of this tree, you will surely die") but He already had a plan for our redemption.
Lastly, God became flesh, taught us, and lived among us. He destoryed sin through His death of the human body (at our hands) at the crucifixtion....... death was originally meant for sinners ONLY (see: "If you eat the fruit...") .... NOT THE ONE WITHOUT SIN! i.e. The door flew open, and the curse was broken!
Epilog: Everything is NOW right with us, and God......Believe in Jesus as Lord and be Saved...and one day share His divinity!
