For New ChristiansThis forum is for new Christians to ask questions and be encouraged by other Christians. Here you can post your questions and talk about issues relating to new believers.
God always loves us no matter what we do. He still loved Adam and Eve even after their sin he could have easily just blotted them out right there couldn’t he? If God knows all he knew that Man would sin agasint him. Why God would created humans knowing this would happen is something only he can answer. Perhaps he thought maybe they would surprise him and do different they did have the choice. We must remember that father has a plan for all since before he created everything and we possible cant understand many of if any of this things with out being in his presence, which will happen one day at that time I am sure most will be answered and we will just understand.
God is patient and kind and IS Love itself- 1 John 4:8. God made a bad situation into a good one in all things and with Adam and Eve. Do you know that Adam and Eve can be traced back genetically-a good book is, This One Man Adam by Hugo Ross. Hugo has a pHD and traced them back genetically. Visit: www.reasons.org -science and belief and http://www.eternal-productions.org/101science.html. God wants those who truly worship Him in spirit and in truth by free choice. We christians live in a world that is mostly antichrist-what better test than to walk in a world that your adversaries surround you and still be faithful with the holy spirit? Yes, its possible-1 Jo 4:4.
1 John 1:9- He is faithful and just to forgive us of our sin.
Did you ask God for the holy spirit after your repented? It gives the christian the power to live a christian life. Our human effort alone can't do it-we will still be in bondage to sin (want to practice sin). As time goes on, your desires will change and you will become a new creature more and more- 2 Co 5:17. You won't be sinless until you get to heaven. Thus, I repent daily.
Please try not to be confused. 1 Col 14:33-God isn't the author of confusion.
Other resources: christian research institute-go to the article section: its very comprehensive. Also, www.christiananswers.net and www.TheBibleTruthBook.com, a book called The Evidence That Demands A Verdict by Josh McDowell (Josh was out to prove the bible to be wrong but instead he found out how right it was-so became a christian; this book has overwhelming circumstantial evidence concerning bible so could go in a court of law)
Feel free to email me anytime. We can't lean on our human understanding alone- but when we receive the holy spirit and look through his glasses-the bible becomes very clear. Before I had the holy spirit-the bible was like reading chinese-and after it-it was like reading english.

I think some of the questions are answered in that God knows not only what problems He's created, but how He shall fully resolve them. We're still not yet at the resolution to those problems; but from what God's said He's going to do, it'll set evil right and destroy it.
