You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, Till iniquity was found in you.There it is -- and you are going to go no further than this -- than what God told you, no matter how much you go into it and how much you write and how much you think. It starts and stops right here on that verse.
Unfortunately for you, you have not read that verse correctly because you proceed from several false assumptions utterly refuted by the Bible. In fact, you are not even plainly reading the verse correctly.
Jerry, he sure is complaining a lot against his Creator.

It's clear, from not only me, but from others -- that the one who is complaining against their Creator -- is you -- as you raised the issue, when Billy Graham was quoted as saying that God is not the author of evil (in post #51).
From that point forward, you've attempted to "complain" that this means that God is the author of evil (otherwise, why object to the statement?). And in doing so, you are attributing the creation of evil (and unrighteousness, inherent in evil) to God. But, God Himself says He is totally righteous and there is no evil or unrighteousness in Him.
Your attempt to claim that God is the author of evil is from you not taking the "plain language" of the Bible (which is not in English) and making it mean evil and unrighteouness (the "English" of Isaiah 45:7) instead of what has already been explained by countless others who study and know the original languages -- as "calamity" and "woe". God is the author of those -- and in total righteousness.
Thus, the one who is complaining -- starts with you, in post #51 and continues to the present, attempting to make a claim that God is unrighteousness -- in that He creates "moral evil" (as opposed to the English translation of other scholars who say "calamity" or "woe").
And so, when I say "the devil is in the details" (in a previous post) -- he also appears to be in you, in your continued insistence of attributing evil and unrighteousness to God (something that one can very well imagine that Satan would say -- i.e., "It's your fault, God! You are responsible for what I did!").
