If the reason the perfect God didn't have to create imperfect stuff is that imperfect stuff was already there for Him to use, then God didn't create everything... is that really what you meant? Who created the imperfect stuff?I would say so, and in fewer words![]()
I know...I had to look it up...I didn't remember this mentioned in the Jabberwocky poem...The name is intended to be ironic, I'm (mostly) harmless <smiley>
Yes, I do mean this.If the reason the perfect God didn't have to create imperfect stuff is that imperfect stuff was already there for Him to use,
I mean He did not bring into existence the imperfect stuff which things are composed of. But He has brought imperfect stuff into various forms, so there is order and not total chaos of everything mixing haphazardly with everything.then God didn't create everything... is that really what you meant? Who created the imperfect stuff?
But He has brought imperfect stuff into various forms, so there is order and not total chaos of everything mixing haphazardly with everything.
Each day was ordered to bring forth what HE ordered.I'm not sure what you mean by this. Mixing in what way? There are mixtures in the natural universe, or we wouldn't have a word for "mixture".

Does GOD want to really keep the evil?Yes, I do mean this. I mean He did not bring into existence the imperfect stuff which things are composed of. But He has brought imperfect stuff into various forms, so there is order and not total chaos of everything mixing haphazardly with everything.
For one example, God did not bring the spirit of evil into existence, but He keeps it in forms so it is in some sort of order. Our Apostle Paul does say there is "the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience", in Ephesians 2:2. Satan is one sewer bucket of evil's pride and selfishness which are on their way to the flaming sewer which burns with fire and brimstone, in order that all his nasty filth will be away from whoever trusts in Jesus and stays with us for eternity.
Wait - if God did not create the imperfect stuff, who or what did create it? Or are you suggesting that the perfect can give rise to the imperfect (which was the original problem)?Yes, I do mean this. I mean He did not bring into existence the imperfect stuff which things are composed of. But He has brought imperfect stuff into various forms, so there is order and not total chaos of everything mixing haphazardly with everything.
So the perfect can give rise to the imperfect?The outcome of eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil has the ability of bringing forth both types of "Fruit"...
I think we did have this discussion...So the perfect can give rise to the imperfect?
Was that a 'Yes' ?I think we did have this discussion...
GOD created initially all things to be GOOD...but man influences man and man listens to many other voices and not only and just GOD'S VOICE...
GOD knew best what was best for HIS CHILDREN...
But...HIS CHILDREN felt that they knew better what was best for them...
We found out after it was too late...that it was too late to go back
We don't have a base on the moon, either. It's hard to predict the future. But we do have flat imaging devices like the ones on Discovery One......Yet here we are in 2016 and as yet have no Hal as in 2001 a Space Odyssey.

JWS describe unrepentant sin's effect on a perfect body to that of pouring sand into a flawless machine.Wait - if God did not create the imperfect stuff, who or what did create it? Or are you suggesting that the perfect can give rise to the imperfect (which was the original problem)?
OK. A simple 'Yes', 'No', or 'I don't know', with or without qualification, would be reasonable answers, and the question itself could be rejected. But this...Let's just say God knew from the beginning to the end where our steps were taking us
What perfect body?JWS describe unrepentant sin's effect on a perfect body to that of pouring sand into a flawless machine.
