Mike, You Got The Wrong God!

It Is Man's Sin That Corrupts This World And Brings Such Terrors As Cancer, Anencephaly, Diabetes And Leprosy.

Did You Lose A Child Through Anenceohaly? Is This The Heartbreak That Causes Your Anger Toward God?

Please Accept My Love And Reconsider The Lord Jesus Christ

He Loved You To The Uttermost

So WE created these thing? I thought only God could create? And who says I'm angry at God, please don't project sacrilege onto me. I love God, do you??? How could I be angry at something due to its nature? Please respond thoughtfully.

Sin brought misery and death. They are God's consequences for sin, ending in death. But with Christ, death has been defeated. Yet, we do suffer the consequences of the original, as well as our own, sin.

Ok, but who created the sin and death, that we bring on ourselves, in the first place?

[Rick-Parker]

Lucifer, in his conceited rebellion against God. I don't know if we are to consider that Lucifer's free will choice to bring evil into God's grand scheme was actually created by God. My limited understanding of the total character, complexities and power of God with my human brain keeps me from knowing the answer. But to me, it doesn't matter who is responsible beyond Adam. He brought the original sin of man by his free will to do something God told him not to do. But Christ brought an end to death for those who will receive it (Him)! Praise Him!!!

edit: I know that God said what sin is, but it was Lucifer who chose to sin.

I would think that it would be fairly obvious, by Joe's post, that he loves the Lord. And he has responded thoughtfully, as he always does. Perhaps he, like others, are trying to figure out exactly where your unhappiness comes from, because you do not appear to be a very happy person. You instruct people to post a certain way, but you yourself have no problems posting in any way you see fit, especially in arrogance and in an insulting way. Perhaps people would just like to know why?

I think Joe is perfectly capable of responding for himself. If you have a personal matter you'd like to discuss with me, feel free to do so over PM, and not hijack threads.

FresnoJoe, your posts are consistently off-topic and I can see how they might annoy the heck out of people. I mean not to offend you, but to point this out for your own edification.

[Rick-Parker]

God created the heavens and the Earth. And every living thing on it. He did this in 6 days; rested on the 7th. Literally. Bible says it, which makes it truth. Literally. Ask God, he'll tell ya. Sounds like ID to me.

[mikeinsarasota]

Case in point. Thank you for the illustration.
