[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about flesh eating bacteria? Where is the free will there?[/quote]Now, you're being ridiculous. Again, sin compromised EVERYTHING but that will only make sense if you understand and identify with the consequences of sin and its impact on everything and everybody, warping and creating abnormalities. Again, it's hard to make sense without understanding the biblical references to the impact of sin. [b]If you are not into the Word, then it is and will always make no sense to a non-believer[/b]. But even we believers don't understand everything so we walk by faith, not by sight. You have to decide how you will walk and what you believe. [/quote] I'm sorry, but you cannot simply say, "It's a faith thing, you wouldn't understand." These things are debatable, and have been debated for centuries. I'll accept whatever you say is based on faith, so you can say that for you, logic is the work of the devil, and that's a fine reason for not engaging in debate. But you should at least admit to what you're basing on faith. For example, you say that sin compromised everything, so I return to my question above: does that mean it's your view that without original sin, there would be no earthquakes, ebola, or cancer? Also, a pp points out that Christ died for our sins and redeemed the world. Why do we still have evil then?[/quote]I never post scripture without a biblical reference and sorry when I said we walk by faith, not by sight, I didn't give the biblical references which I have below with a link you might like to read: 2 Corinthians 5:7 http://beliefchangers.com/blog/2011/07/18/the-reason-must-you-walk-by-faith-and-not-by-sight/ [i]For example, you say that sin compromised everything, so I return to my question above: does that mean it's your view that without original sin, there would be no earthquakes, ebola, or cancer? [/i] Yes. It's my opinion based on scripture. Again, I base my opinions based on what I believe and read in scripture, not by my emotions pr feelings (though it's hard sometimes which is why I walk by faith). I can not emphasize enough that if you are curious why Christians on this thread have consistently referred by back to scripture to support opinion, I strongly suggest you do some biblical reading AND utililze other resources to study. Buddhist, Islam, and other religions would tell you the exact same thing as their opinions are formed by what they believe. I am a tiny bit concerned that some of the questions I've seen posted could very well have been answered by simply typing in the question on the internet which, most likely, take you to biblical references. Although, I caution that there are charlatans out there so you have to be discriminating which I discovered eons ago when I first started my journey. I am more than willing to share my biblical accompanist are R. C. Sproul who is quite an intellect and gets very heavy (love him), Tony Campolo, Jack Hayford, Tony Evans. I like it told as it is, no sugar coating. For me, emphasizing for ME, they have provided food for thought and explanation. God is a rewarder of those who genuinely seek him and I'm not talking about the mean green....I'm talking about knowledge and the desire to know. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.[/quote]
