Did God create sin?
Facez:
The reason why sin exists is because every force on earth has to have a reciprocal (good and bad, up and down etc) before God created the Earth it was void, dark and formless unti the light(god the reciprocal of darkness came down to create the earth. in heaven there is no sin cause there arent any forces in heaven only good but any where else there is sin. for example the devil used to be an arc angel (a good person) his name was Lucifer and he used to be an angel in heaven until he thought that he could be higher than God and had to be imediately cast down cause sin can't exist in heaven but it can anywhere else. that is why earth has good forces and bad forces operating on it but mostly bad forces because we have the authortiy and the god given free will to live in sin or live without it.
And to answer the question about God being a man or a woman god is neither man or woman we often refer to God as a man becuase he is our father who created us by his word just like a father creates a child and there is no other human way we could decribe him, i mean we cant call him: "it" or "a thing" because that would make him seem as if he is an object and we cant call him a woman cuz that would effeminate him and make him seem less powerful and emotional, there is now other word on earth except him or father, love, light or God that we can use to describe him.
people think that God is some 1000 foot man who sits in the cloud all day watching us which is not true his is a spritual force that we cant describe in many words, if you could desribe exactly what God is than he is just a regular thing or human.

Please read this
The reason why so many things happen on earth isnt because there is no God, it is because we have free will and as a human race we use that free will to deny god and refuse him to show up in our lifes which leaves room for the devil to come in and until we relise that we need God to come into our lives and he will come. thats how you see people getting healed of sickness and disability it is because they have allowed God to show up in there life. a perfect example of what i am talking about is Adam and Eve (who represent all of us living today) God offered them everlasting life to them no pain no sin no shame all they had to do was not eat from a tree which gave knowlege of good and bad (how easy is that to do) but the devil with his power of persuasion made adam and eve doubt what God had offered them just like us but now the devil doesnt even have to speak to us to get us to sin he can persuade us easily with the media, girls, guns, friends etc and we dont see anything wrong with it. since when is gay marriage/sex right i mean what kind of world do we live in.
for the people who are unsure about the existence of God (7even etc) i advise you please just to do more research on it read a bible, talk to a pastor, talk to some christians, watch some christian television before you make your mind up
i mean i was the same as you a few months ago maybe even worse: i was unsure about God, scared of dying,never read a bible in my life etc then i talked to some people who helped meand then i got born again (forgiven and filled with the holy spirit) in march 2006
God bless

In order to allow free will, then that means that good and evil had to be created BY GOD. Free will is the mechanism behind the choice of either good or bad, but someone created it, right?
Whenever I pose this question, I either get the free will explanation, which is a cop out, no answer at all, or the question gets avoided all together.
If God is sole creator of the universe and created everytthing within it, then where did sin come from? Only God has the ability to create, not the devil or any other supposed evil forces.
So if that's the case, does this mean the concept of God is flawed?
--- End quote ---
Ok, you wanted to know if god created sin, and then when someone tells you its because of free will, you say its a cop-out? Sin isn't something god creates, it's an act that you choose to do, god told us what not to do, and to do those things is a sin, so it is you, not god, creating sin.
And your parents are right, it all comes down to faith, if you dont believe in any god, dont sweat it. That's what i've never understood, people want to be able to not beleive in god, but then turn around and basically try to convert you to what they beleive, and thats not directed at anyone here ive just noticed that from where i'm from.
Sikotic™:
I'm not saying I don't believe in God. If I didn't I wouldn't of even made this topic. Sorry, but I'm not gonna go ahead and believe something that doesn't make sense just because a book says so. I've constantly been questioned about my beliefs by people because of the fact that I'm not ignorant, and I feel it's important to fully grasp a concept instead of blindly following it. Just because I question certain things doesn't mean I'm trying to shit on it, I wanna get a better understanding. Oranized religion tends to shun on this though. In order for there to be faith, there has to be some truth to it as well.
So if God did not create sin as you all say, then he's not the creator of all things, the alpha and the omega, as the Bible says. That is a contradiction.
