God did not create or ordain a slave to sin!

The scriptures states we are slaves to sin or slaves to righteousness.

I honestly don't know how much clear scripture can be.

Dear Brother, Romans 6:20-22 Does NOT tell you that God is the creator of sin and responsible for being a slave to sin.

Who owns the responsibility?
Pick 2

1. God
2.the devil
3.ourselves

It's not slavery as we understand it today. The word +Paul uses is douloi which in those days meant someone who submitted himself to be someone's servant. The important thing is that the willing part comes from us.
