Why did God forgive our sins?

Why do you insist on making God a Man?Man is constrained by time.God exists in one great big eternal now.He can see Himself walking in the garden talking with the first man and also see you standing before Him at the Great White Throne Judgment arguing your case that He should have convinced you to believe in Him and trust Him for salvation at the same time.BTW God does not create people. My Mom had an egg that was fertilized by my Father's sperm and I am the result of that union. God only made it possible that could happen.God Bless,

"John 5:39 (KJS) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."

But that is not the choice God gave man.His choice was similar to the one I gave my two boys when they got to the point they thought they knew better what they should be allowed to do or not to do. I told them as long as they sat at my table and ate my food and slept in my house they would obey the rules I gave them. If they chose to do otherwise they could find them a place to park their bodies and acquire their needs.God made man and placed him in a perfect environment. Provided him with everything he needed. God then gave him one rule to be able to live and enjoy life in His Garden. There was one tree that man was told he could not eat the fruit from.Man disobeyed.God kicked man out of His Garden and man had to earn his own way. No decedent of this man has any claim to God's Garden.By the choice of this man all mankind was separated from God.But God made a way man can return to God's Garden.God offers man a full free pardon through the death of God the Son on the Cross.No one has to accept that offer but anyone can.God Bless,

No everyone in the world does not have the same opportunity to hear the gospel and be saved.Let me make one thing plain the only choice man has is to accept God's offer or refuse it. You can choose to live in heaven but you do not have to choose to go to the lake of fire. That is the present destination of everyone who has not received God's pardon.Is that God's fault? No.God gave that job to the decedents of Abraham during the OT days.God then Gave the Church the job of making disciples, baptizing them and teaching them the things He commanded.God's Church has failed to do its job. Therefore it is the Churches fault.The Devil has so poluted the Churches that today most of them belong to him not God.But there are those who keep sharing the gospel throughout the world.That is the reason there are some here at EvC that keep on keeping on.At least you had an opportunity.God Bless,

If man had not disobeyed there would be no you. There would be no me.Yes God see's man disobeying His rule and at the same time He see's you discussing this topic on EvC. He also see's those trying to share His free pardon with you. He see's your decision and the final conclusion of your case.As I have said many times with God there is only one great big now.God Bless,

First things first. God does not condemn anyone to anything.
Man is condemned already.
The first man took care of that by separating mankind from God.Why does God have to justify Himself?To whom does He have to justify Himself?It is not God's fault if I have failed Him.It is not God's fault if the Church has failed Him.Paul declared the gospel had been preached to the world in his day.
When my ancestors came to America they found natives worshiping the Great Spirit in the happy hunting grounds. Who told them?Has it ever occured to you that people everywhere have heard of some kind of God. Religion is everywhere.It is not God's fault if man has failed to teach the all things that Jesus commanded him to.God Bless,God Bless,

How about according to: God said He loved you.His Son came not to condemn you. But that you might be saved.You and anybody else is condemned because you/they have not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.I can not help what you believe. I can only tell you what God said.God Bless,Edited by ICANT, : add signature

I was under the impression that God created man and woman. From that time on man and woman have created human beings.I was under the impression that God created the Devil or whatever you want to call him. The Devil deceived the first woman and the man chose the fate of the woman.From that time until this the Devil and man have been creating all these bad things everyone keeps talking about.God Bless,

It is his parents fault.
His parents beliving what they do is their parents fault.
Going all the way back to the ones that knew the truth.Their destiny was covered in Message 89Now the biggest question is, do I have it right? I have spent many
hours studying over the past 59 years because I can't afford to be wrong. My eternal destiny depends upon me being right.God Bless,

You remember the story the devil told the first woman in the garden that when she ate the fruit she would know good from evil.When a person reaches the age where they know as the first woman and man did in the garden they become accountable for themselves at this time.There are those because of mental conditions that never reach this point.God Bless,Edited by ICANT, : No reason given.

Blame anyone you desire to blame. That is exercising your freewill to choose what ever pleases you.Go for it. Just don't blame me if you are wrong.God Bless,

"John 5:39 (KJS) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."

Why did man have to know whether it was good or bad?He was told if you eat the fruit you will die.It makes no difference if it is good bad or indifferent.It was an either or statement.God Bless,

I was not talking about sex. I was talking about limiting God as man is limited. The man and woman that was made in the image of God had a body, mind, and spirit (soul). All of their decendents have all three.God Bless,

Did the Queen come over to your house when you reached the age of understanding and explain the laws in England to you.Or did your parents teach them to you.Is the Queen responsible for their decisions to teach you or not to teach you.If your parents do not teach you then will the bobbies let you go your way because you are ignorant of the laws? First God does not run a Nation.Second God does not run the planet earth.The devil runs planet earth within the bounds set by God.Man has a choice to follow the ways of the world which is controlled by the devil.ORMan can choose to follow after the ways of God.Your choice.You personally have no one to blame for the outcome but yourself. I got no problem with standing up for what is right.
I wore my country's uniform for that purpose, 3rd Army.
I have fought many battles during my lifetime against many wrongs.The problem is most of the things I see as wrongs you would see as rights. He does exist.The devil and a third of the angels of heaven tried to bring God down from His throne and failed. I have a sneaky idea they are a lot more powerful than us mortal beings.But you are welcome to join the devil and his angels in their battle
against God if you desire. I will warn you I read the final chapter in the book and the devil lost. He ends up in the lake of fire that was prepared for him and his angels.God Bless,

Where did you get the idea from that God interferes with our lives? God will interfere in the lives of His children. Those who have been born again. He can and does bless them when they are obedient and when they are disobedient He will chastise them.Why does He do these? Because He loves His children.If God is not your Father you do not have to obey Him, you can do as you please.God does not have anything to do with any decision you make or anything you do in this life if you have not been born again.You only have to answer to your father the devil. His motto is if it feels good do it. That is why most people choose the ways of the world. God is all powerful.God will put an end to all bad things one day in His time. How many people on death row do you know that you would willingly lay down your life so they could be free?Jesus loved you enough to die so you could get off death row and live eternally, in a better place than the one you are doomed for if you are not born again.God Bless,

At what stage in life do you become responsible for your actions in England? I thought she was a very nice lady when I saw her in the Cayman Islands.I lived in a British Commonwealth for 15 years. Our police force had many young officers come from England, and other UK country's.
One of the men in the Church I was involved in there was a Sergeant so several of the young officers came to services. They are the one's who talked about the bobbies. They also talked about police officers. Correction God made the rules. The first man broke them.
God made a covenant with the children of Abraham. That covenant relationship had many rules and benefits if the rules were obeyed.But that has nothing to do with the condition of man as far as his eternal destiny is concerned.The only thing involved in that is the first man sold mankind in slavery to the devil.God made a way man could be redeemed from the fate brought about by the disobedience of the first man. The devil was running the earth before man was.
Who created the devil? God did.
Who put the devil in charge of the earth? God did.
If there was no devil there would be no choice. Ignorance of the Law is no excuse. That is the point I was trying to make.You try to plead ignorance to the Law before a judge and see how far you get with that defense. Let me get this straight.If there was a person on death row and was to be put in the gas chamber for crimes committed. All appeals had be used up the judges have upheld sentence. The man is then scheduled for 6 AM the following day. The President of the US offers a pardon to the person and he refuses the pardon. At the appointed time the sentence is carried out.Now you want me to jump up and down and scream and hollow that the President should be tarred and feathered because the man would not accept the pardon. By this heinous act the President becomes a tyrant not worthy of existing.Come on, get real. That is exactly what God did for you. He had someone take your place and serve your sentence. He then offered you a full pardon. It is your choice to receive it or reject it. Straggler I have spent 46 years of my life informing people of the consequences of disobedience to God. I have spent much of my income helping others. I have always pastored churches that could not afford to pay a minister. That made it necessary for me to work.
Had I applied myself to just making money as many do I would have more than I could waste in the rest of my life.So you talk about my unloving God all you want. You call Him a tyrant all you want. He paid your sin debt because He loved you. If you die and end up in the lake of fire it will be your fault I don't care who you want to blame. I could care less whether you feel more morally good than I am.
I only care that I have done what God said for me to do not what you or anyone else thinks about what I should do, or should not do.You see that is what makes God so wonderful to me. He knew all my faults and failures. He knew every time I would disobey Him as well as obey Him.He still loved me enough to forgive me to restore me to the position that the first man was in before he disobeyed and ate the fruit. Sorry I have no desire to be free from the restrictions of God.
So you will have to make that journey without me.God Bless,
