Did you bother to read the passage from Romans? :pray:

The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you. GE 12:2 "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. GE 12:3 I will bless those who bless you, and...

God's desire was to create a being with the capability to love. What is the opposite of love? Did Adam and Eve die? No - Then what did God mean when He said they would surely die? His warning that decisions have consequence. You conclusion actually ignores God's true desire for us...

Well, We can choose not to live like this. Our problem is when you encounter those that will not. There is a lot of pain in the world. People cope very differently. Some look inward and live miserable lives. Some look upwards. It really is a simple choice.

Ahh - what's the matter? Hurts that someone did take the bait? Ok - I'll nibble at it. Look at your senerio one more time: "If I let a rabid dog into a class of schoolchildren and the dog attacks the children, am I responsible for what happens to the children?" Who actually let the...

Then you left out a few characters then

"If I let a" All I need to see.
