Re: Mercy of God?

The very fact that the nature of God is merciful denotes inequality on some level. Not on the part of God but in relation to that which is not God. Can you elaborate on this? God is merciful, so inequality exists. It is not the will of God for inequality to exist, but it has consequences for all of...

Re: God was well aware of sin....

Hi noumenon, welcome to the board. This then could bring us to the acknowledgment that Sin was an acknowledged thing by God prior to creation itself. If no sin had been committed, then it couldn't be an acknowledged "thing." As FL stated, it is impossible for GOD to commit sin. It is not ...

Re: Mercy of God?

Hi Noumenon, welcome to this forum. This is a very interesting topic and one which I have pondered on. You said: 'My point is that sin did not originate with Satan or any other creature but instead with God'. I think of it this way. The potential for sin is different to sin being enacted. So prior ...

Re: Mercy of God?

My point is that sin did not originate with Satan or any other creature but instead with God. Impossible, for it is impossible for God to sin. Before God created other beings, He is One. As your conclusion is wrong, so is the reasoning which brought you to that conclusion. Sin was existent as a pot...

God was well aware of sin....

According to Ephesians Chapter 1 those who are in the Lord in the place of eternity were destined to be there according to adoption through Christ. This then seemingly insinuates that Christ as savior was an intended forethought even before the creation of man. If this is the case then the question ...

Since “sin” is the product of ones act whether willful or otherwise, Adam and Eve according to the Law were “without sin...
