The point is we have been trying to play God ever since He gave mankind dominion over the earth and we immediately disobeyed Him. We have been screwing things up ever since by thinking we know better than God.

Originally posted by VoidSpiritNot so. God is good and good does not produce evil. Evil came about through the the freewill decison of a good creation. First, by the desire of a created spirit creature to take the place of God. We now call that spirit creature, Satan the Devil, after he deceived mankind to also sin against God. That is when evil was brought into the physical world.

Originally posted by RJHindsas usual, you know squat nil about the bible and biblegod.
Not so. God is good and good does not produce evil.
Amo 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done [it]?
Isa 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these [things].
Evil came about through the the freewill decison of a good creation.
nonsense. a good creation could not bring forth evil. at best, that was a damaged creation.
First, by the desire of a created spirit creature to take the place of God. We now call that spirit creature, Satan the Devil, after he deceived mankind to also sin against God. That is when evil was brought into the physical world.
that's debatable, but we're not talking about when evil was brought forth into the physical world. don't sidetrack the issue.
biblegod claims responsibility for creating evil/calamity. the bible verses above prove my statement as correct and you as having no clue what the bible says about god or what claims god makes in the bible.
Originally posted by RJHindsI refuse to take responsibility for anything 'man' supposedly did in the past. It was not me. I am not responsible. I personally have never created a disease.

So which men exactly created the diseases? When? How did they do it? Why?

Originally posted by twhiteheadThey did it by disobeying God's rules. I was not there to see exactly when and how they did it. But one example we have today is AIDS. Read up on it.

Originally posted by RJHindsSo you know they did it, but have no idea who, where or when? So your belief that a human is responsible is based on what?

I am very familiar with AIDS. I come from a country where the infection rate is about 30% and have lost many friends to the disease. But I have never read anything that suggested that a man was responsible for creating it. Have you? Can you give me a reference to that effect?
