Question:

One of my youth leaders asked me and a group of friends a question Friday night, I thought it was really thought provoking so I'll share it:


Did God create Sin?

What do you think?

...Tricky!

I think it's where the free choice comes into play. I mean, He did put the tree in the garden, putting the choice out there. (Retarded Adam and Eve!) Haha, but it makes you wonder, why would He even put that out there?
I guess just to make sure the Loved Him.

As for Satan, He did create him obviously. And He will destroy him. So in a sense, He created sin but it was free choice... so it just kinda turned on Him...

Ah! So confusing. All I know is, THANK GOODNESS FOR JESUS!

I don't think He created sin, per se, but did present the choice. There is nothing evil or sinful about God, so I don't think He could do that, but He did create choice, thus our choice (and Satan's choice) brought sin into the world. Does that make sense?

um..that's totally what i was going to say, but if i said it it would be REALLY redundant. but i really do agree, its all in the choice
