  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Col 1(17): He is before all things and by him all things consist ! And : Eph 1(11): He works all things after the counsel of his own will! : ALL THINGS : If you say God did not create all things because you think you see something : you are attacking God himself : Will pray for you Prov 3(5&7), Isa 55(8&9)
This you need to answer

“and as I asked,

Here’s a serious question.

"Jesus said that the greatest blasphemy is the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost. If a man blasphemes the Holy Ghost would you say for even a second that it was Jesus making him do it??God forbid even the implication of such a thing!” In fact don’ t answer that question I don’t want you to be in danger spiritually if you say things you dhouldb’t. But you can see how serious it is.

Yes or no

We need to be able to answer simple question and not hide behind wrong reasoning and misunderstanding of scriptures quoted out of context.

You do not speak with just scripture, you often give your own interpretations ... often.

And your interpreting those verses wrongly

He is before all things and by him all things consist speaks of God’s eternality and self existence and that he holds all things together by the word of Hos power. And lies and sin are not in the proper sense “things”

Also he works all things after the counsel of his own will means that he is independent and needs no counsel from another

All things there is speaking of the good he does for God does not do iniquity or tempt men with evil but every man is tempted when he is drawn away if his own lust

Why is this not easy to see?

God does no iniquity as scripture teaches. So when men Do iniquity it is not God doing it. It is so simple to understand.
Also God cannot deny himself so when men deny him it is not God making them do it.

Also God cannot lie so when men lie it is not God doing it

I can't argue against the brilliant explanation for the fall of
Covering Cherub Lucifer and a third of the angels of heaven as
shown to near death experiencer Dr. Richard Eby.

Dr. Richard Eby, near-death.com:
Jesus hesitated as I tried to capture the immensity of his explanations.

"You must understand, my son, that original creation mirrored the composition and perfection of Person-God. All creation vibrated in unison with us! There was total accord and harmony everywhere as the whole creation was resonating with and in God!

"Each separate thing or being thus carried out an appointed task in our scheme for the universe. A heaven-form of music resulted as even the stars sang in their appointed circuits. Here in paradise you are hearing these melodious vibrations directly upon your new mind, undistorted. On Earth you heard distorted sounds through the air waves. Throughout heaven the music flows from my throne, uninterrupted, undefiled, and peace-giving."

Jesus paused again.

"My book tells of the time when Lucifer's rebellion in heaven changed some things. He sought to usurp my Father's throne, assume his position as the most high God, and to rule the universe. For that blasphemy Lucifer was cast from heaven to Earth; in fact, I saw him fall as a bolt of lightning! In a tantrum of hate and rage over being deposed so fast he and his fallen angels disfigured our perfect Earth. It became void and uninhabitable. For punishment befitting his enemy of God, Lucifer was given a new name, Satan, since he was the self-appointed 'adversary' of the Almighty. Anything that God had made, Satan would attempt to destroy from then on. As Lucifer he had been created the highest angel about the throne, one of his assignments and talents being the chief musician in charge of worship and music. In his rebellious anger he set about destroying harmony on and in the Earth from then on. That is why the Earth where he operates now is out of harmony with God's other creations. In my book we call this disharmony 'sin', because it defies God's will that even the heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament show his handiwork.

"But be of good cheer, my son. The Father has permitted me to overcome Satan's world system of sin, and to destroy the works of Satan, and to re-establish righteousness in the hearts of my friends. Eventually in his chosen time he will restore all creation as it once was, in him!"

Why did God create Evil ???

False Premise!
The Bible shows God creating ONLY good THINGS!
Evil is a mere concept. Evil is the absence of God's good, like dark is the absence of Light.

Copy and Paste Post all Scripture in support of the OP !!

God only created good THINGS.

God created man...alone?

Genesis 2:18 Then the LORD God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him."


So would God say death is good or evil?

1CO 15:26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

Who created the last enemy?

God created Death as a punishment for sinners. Everyone sins and the wages of sin is death. On the Day of Judgement, those in the Book of Life will be purified from sin completely by God. Death is no longer required, so it will be destroyed along with those not in the Book of Life.

So, since God created death, is death a good thing or a bad thing?

This may help to answer your question. Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 fit well with this.

"You must understand, my son, that original creation mirrored the composition and perfection of Person-God. All creation vibrated in unison with us! There was total accord and harmony everywhere as the whole creation was resonating with and in God!

( 6 ) : ” THE GREATEST BLASPHEMY : PART 1 . “
August 14, 2017gigoboy777 Leave a comment
Christ said in MATTHEW 15(9) : ” In vain do they worship me , teaching for doctrines the commandments of men . ” Sadly the mainstream churches today are full of these false doctrines of men that Christ talked about here . The most blasphemous false doctrine of men is the teaching that God did not create all things, and that God is not even in control of his own creation ! How do they arrive at this blasphemous false doctrine ? The bible says to trust in God, and not lean unto our own understanding : PROVERBS 3(5) : ” Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding , ” Why does the bible tell us not to lean unto our own understanding ? : 1 CORINTHIANS 13(12) : ” For now we see through a glass darkly , for NOW WE KNOW IN PART . ” This is why the bible tells us not to lean unto our own understanding : Because we presently have very limited understanding, and we will think that we see something wrong, WHEN THERE IS IN FACT NOTHING WRONG, WE JUST THINK THAT WE SEE SOMETHING WRONG , BECAUSE OF OUR LIMITED UNDERSTANDING . A perfect example of this is the teaching that evil could not possibly have a good purpose in God’s creation : So we say that God has nothing to do with it . Well for starters the Bible clearly states that GOD CREATED EVIL : ISAIAH 45(7) : ” I make peace AND CREATE EVIL , I THE LORD DO ALL THESE THINGS. ” Well the question of course arises : Why did God create evil ? If we read GENESIS 3(22) : We see that GOD HIMSELF SAYS : ” The man is become as one of us , to know good AND EVIL ! ” So ACCORDING TO GOD HIMSELF , EVIL DOES INDEED HAVE A GOOD PURPOSE : IT IS PART OF BECOMING AS A GOD ! But if we lean unto our own understanding , we don’t understand this, and we think that evil is only bad : So we then say that God did not create it , thus now SAYING THAT GOD DID NOT CREATE ALL THINGS : ” A SUPER SERIOUS BLASPHEMY .” We say that God does not want evil in his creation : Yet evil is still there : THUS IMPLYING THAT GOD IS NOT EVEN IN CONTROL OF HIS OWN CREATION : Because according to them all these things are there that God supposedly does not want : YET ANOTHER SUPER SERIOUS BLASPHEMY AGAINST GOD ! The truth of course is that GOD CREATED ALL THINGS , INCLUDING EVIL : AND THEY ALL WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD in his great plan , and God is in absolute control, even if we don’t understand it yet ! Listen to what God says to us in ISAIAH 55(8&9) : ” 8 : ” For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways , ” 9 : ” For as the heavens are higher then the Earth , so are my ways higher then your ways , and my thoughts then your thoughts . ” Following are a few more examples of things that God uses to fulfill his purposes that if we lean unto our own limited understanding, we might think are bad , thus saying that what God does is bad ; 1 SAMUEL 16(14) : ” But the spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and AN EVIL SPIRIT FROM THE LORD troubled him .” and 1 KINGS 22(23) : ” Now therefore behold : THE LORD HATH PUT A LYING SPIRIT in the mouth of all these thy prophets .” So remember PROVERBS 3(5) : ” Trust in the Lord with all thine heart , and lean not unto thine own understanding .” STOP BLASPHEMING EVERY TIME YOU SEE SOMETHING YOU DONT UNDERSTAND , AND SAYING THAT GOD DID NOT DO IT OR CREATE IT : YOU ARE ON VERY DANGEROUS GROUND ! PROVERBS 3(7) : ” BE NOT WISE IN THINE OWN EYES , FEAR THE LORD, DEPART FROM EVIL . ” : IT IS A GREAT EVIL TO BE WISE IN THINE OWN EYES AND JUDGE GOD !
