Then He does create those that He knows will do bad things, just as He creates their victims. If you believe that God cannot be wrong, then what He knows will happen, will happen, right?
Thanks DJ MacWoW, for you subsequent response.
stuartcr, DJ MacWoW nailed it. Even Adam (at least as far as we can know from the somewhat short Biblical narrative), who I hold in high regard, did what virtually all people who have erred do, he shifted the blame to someone else.
The thing is, you can keep blaming God for everything that is wrong, or you can place responsibility with the people that have done the wrong. God doesn’t do things wrong. I could expound, at length, an explanation to what you’re saying, but I’d rather not open a theological debate that gets fought every day here on freerepublic. If you’d like more info on my personal faith’s beliefs, you can PM me, be the short of it is what DJ MacWoW has already said, namely God is not responsible when people do wrong.
Perhaps you have ever raised children (this is an analogy, but not precisely the same), and you know that when you have a child, that that child will make mistakes, no matter how well you raise them (although if you train them the right way, they will stick to it by and large, but no one, but Christ, is or has been perfect), they will do something wrong. Well God loves us too, and created us, and Christ died so we wouldn’t be cut off forever, because God knew we would fail to be perfect. So according to His will, we have a Saviour, and whether you believe Christ to be real or not, is up to you.
I believe that our Heavenly Father sent His only Begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him, with all that that entails, should not perish (as they should due to sin), but have everlasting life. To say that just because God created someone and they do wrong is an affirmation that God is ok with someone doing wrong, or that thewre is no wrong is a cop out. As the prophets have said, we are as sheep who have gone astray, and wandered. Everyone does something wrong, but Jesus did not, whether it is to a degree to what you’re talking about, or not. Everyone has an opportunity to choose, and virtually every sin (except, maybe, the shedding of innocent blood, and blashphemy against the Holy Spirit) has an absolution, through Christ. But God didn’t create people to fail, He created people, and knew they would fail, and gave His Son a ransom, for their sins, if they would believe on Him, and take up their cross and follow Him. And of that, I bear my personal witness that these things are true, of Christ’s atonement, and resurrection, that these things are true, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
