Just like the guy who first conned his fellows with tales of the same.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Quote:I have explained this before, the word translated as evil should be translated calamity or disaster.
Apologetic horseshit, G-C:
King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
American Standard Version
I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil. I am Jehovah, that doeth all these things.
Douay-Rheims Bible
I form the light, and create darkness, I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord that do all these things.
Darby Bible Translation
forming the light and creating darkness, making peace and creating evil: I, Jehovah, do all these things.
English Revised Version
I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil; I am the LORD, that doeth all these things.
Webster's Bible Translation
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
American King James Version
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Young's Literal Translation
Forming light, and preparing darkness, Making peace, and preparing evil, I am Jehovah, doing all these things.'
I understand that you are embarrassed by this shit....hell, you should be embarrassed just for believing in it, but all these people have some solid credentials to interpret this crap which my instinct tells me you lack.
Get over it. And yourself.

If god has foreknowledge that I will do 'X', how can I possibly do anything but 'X'?
Hence why I don’t believe humans have a true libertarian free will. I like your signature btw, I play ESP guitars as well; they are great.
I have not seen anyone on here even define their terms; that is probably why everyone is going in circles. How do you define evil?

Excellent, getting punished for choices we have been coerced into, what a twat, round and round we go with the free will wheel.

You were coerced into nothing, you choose according to your nature and will, your nature and will are just corrupted. You get exactly what you want though, and you get exactly what you deserve.

Now I have choices do I? Doesn't sound like it. Are we talking my nature or my "essence" here btw?

You always choose according to your sinful nature. So you always choose what you want most. Your inclination is towards sin though, so you choose sin because you want it.

Care to flesh that out, or is this another one of those things I'm to accept because you say so? My sinful nature wasn't created by god? Good to know I have some leverage over your delusions, and that not everything requires creation by the same.

How do you know what his inclination is? You're bordering on preaching, Stat. Ease up.
ETA: Having looked at the post above it, you are preaching.
