“Are you blaming God for every wicked thing that you’ve done in your life?”

No. But you can’t say people have free will, so our sins are our own fault, and at the same time say it’s impossible for humans to obey God’s commandments. Well, I guess you could say it, but it makes no sense.

For the record, I believe in God, but I don’t believe in all the contradictory things people say about God (religions).

Maybe people don’t have free will.

Maybe our wills are bound to sin and our own sinful desires, and Jesus’ death and resurrection is the only way that our will can be freed from slavery to sin.

What was the purpose of the Law of Moses?

Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. (Galatians 3:19-29)

A last note: God with us said He is the only way to the Father; we must go through Him or not go; we do not know when Jesus may offer that truth to anyone, since He alone controls that destiny, but we have also been told that to reject His offering is to have a bad destiny, and yet we do not know how often He will offer, either. For those to whom The Spirit offers belief and birth by His Spirit, to reject a final offer of such Grace is to set one’s fate. but remember, we mortals do not have access to the vagaries of dimension time which God may use to make the revelation of His truth to any who did not hear the Gospel of His Grace in Christ while they struggled along in living. we do have His Word however that there is only one Way and it is through His being, known as God with us. God’s name is I AM; Hios human name is Jesus, in English.
