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.

God is not the creator of sin but those of us who believe in original sin understand that we are slaves to sin. Only God can set us free from our bondage. That is what Paul states in Romans 6 when he states, "Who will deliver me from this? Thanks be to God."

“Only God can set us free from our bondage. That is what Paul states in Romans 6 when he states, “Who will deliver me from this? Thanks be to God.”

Well Dear Brother...We finally have something we agree upon.

...and only we can choose to put ourselves back into the bondage of sin when we fall. Christ is so loving that he continues to deliver us when we freely let go of ourselves in humble submission and contrite heart in detestation of our sin.
It is this submission that Christ is seeking from all of us

I wish you Peace
