Sorry, that just caught my eye. lol
I will say I believe people can be 'spiritual,' or believe in a deity, without following any particular religion, per se. I guess when I read your tagline initially, I thought you were a deist, until I started seeing the smattering of Bible passages all over the thread, here.
Good question.
When I say I don't believe in religion I mean religious organization. You can be a Christian and not be religious , likewise you can be atheist and be religious (I already proved that in another thread)
I use the Bible because that is the foundation of what I believe,(kind of like how a dictionary would be the standard to define a word) and also to show that I'm not making anything up.
I try to keep the Bible quoting limited to the "theistic" threads.

I'm not asking if Satan is capable of causing sin. I'm not asking if sin leads to suffering and death. I'm not asking if Eden was actually heaven or was just like heaven. I just want a yes or no answer to the question because I seriously could not glean that from your response.Like I said I've answered your question, but since you don't seem capable of going back a page and looking I'll just post it here.
Is almighty God capable of creating a realm that has no sin and suffering now and will not ever have it in the future? Can he do that? Yes/no.

So u use the bible. So then the goofy shit in it, u just chuck it away??
