That's not Christianity, and never was, but then again we already know that. I am only making a point for lurkers.
“[If] God creates the good, who created evil?”
“That’s not Christianity, and never was, but then again we already know that. I am only making a point for lurkers.”
Here’s something for the “lurkers”, when do you suppose God created hell? Was this an after-thought when He saw man sin?
“The Greek tradition has hell in the sense of an underworld where the dead await resurrection, but the damned are thrown into the fire on Judgment Day, not at death. The Eastern Orthodox Church teaches that both the elect and the lost enter into the presence of God after death, and that the elect experience this presence as light and rest, while the lost experience it as darkness and torment.[10] The Orthodox see this doctrine as supported by Scripture and by the patristic tradition.”
“The afterlife for the damned is dreadful anticipation of Judgment Day, while the elect happily await the resurrection of the dead. The Eastern Orthodox pray for the dead, and they believe that sometimes a lost soul can be saved after death through the prayers of the living.”
There is a difference between testing/trials and temptation. When a teacher gives a “true and false” exam, the false questions aren’t there to teach the students to think wrong, but to assess their competency and to help them learn from their errors. Temptation is intended to lead one into a state of error.
1 Cor. 10: 13, “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”
And if per chance we do succomb to temptation, He has made a further way back,
1 John 1:9, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
That is Christianity.
