If God wanted us in his own image—Why did he create us to sin?

If God wanted us in his own image—Why did he create us to sin?

[roxie_09]

He gave men free will, which resulted in the choice to sin. He wanted people to choose to follow him and be good people rather than him creating it. X

[Mamyalynne]

God gave us free will and that enables us to make decisions as to how we lead our lives. It is the freedom to choose whichever path you wish to take.

[roxie_09]

We have the option to sin as well as the choice to choose not too x

[birdie1971]

The 'God' of the Abrahamic faiths is a monster. He clearly wants some people to go to an eternal torture chamber where they will suffer for ever and ever, without end.

If he didn't want this, he could have simply erased 'hell' from 'existence' and made sure that we all went to 'heaven'. Apparently, as he's mysterious, he chose not to do so. Instead he deliberately made us flawed so that some of us would inevitably fail and burn for ever and ever and ever.

What a wonderful entity god is!

If all the guff were to be true then we are indeed created in his own image because he was also not without sin. He was a mass murderer and a cruel and heartless God. He also broke his own rules by 'begetting' a son with another man's wife. Why anyone would want to worship such a deity is beyond me.

Why did some a-hole create God in his own image . . . and why do so many worship his creation?

Not so sure I wanna know. Not one of mankind's most admirable qualities . . . imo.

God is the light of the world and If you could zoom in on the most smallest thing that keeps all our DNA or smaller parts of DNA held together it in fact just light particals, I read this on a web page from stumble.com We are only held together in the smallest particals by light.

[venator]

The whole sin thing was developed by the church to keep the money coming in.

They don't sell indulgences any more, but I bet they'd like to!

[jake-the-peg]

Sin = Free-will?

Pull the other one!!

Is there Free-will in heaven do you think? Or Sin?

[roxie_09]

Well there must be as Satan is a fallen angel isn't he? X

[beso]

Read the Old Testament. He was right into the worst of sin Himself.

The real joke is the Clayton's "free will".

"Do whatever you like, it is your choice but if you don't do as I demand and worship Me then you will suffer for eternity."

Incredibly the faithful expect their decision to worship this monster to be respected. Bizarre.

RAV1D - “... If you could zoom in on the most smallest thing that keeps all our DNA or smaller parts of DNA held together it in fact just light particles...”

That's a new one on me. I thought that everything at an atomic level was held together by the two nuclear forces and electromagnetism.

[beso]

Rav1D is correct until you get down to the nuclear level.

Chemical bonds are electromagnetic. The Electromagnetic Force is mediated by Photons. The atoms in a chemical bond are exchanging Photons. (Both Electromagnetism and the Weak Force are manifistations of the ElectroWeak Force)

At the nuclear level the Strong force is predominant. The Standard Model holds that these bonds are the remnants of the Color Force that hold Quarks together. This force is mediated by Gluons.

I have always thought it sad that Crayons had already been used as a subatomic particle name when Quarks were proposed. What would be better than a Crayon to mediate the Color Force.

^^^ Interesting stuff.

It is only men who have ever said that God is a HE!
