Your premise is wrong. God did not make our flaws. God can't do or make anything short of perfection. The flaws are there because we've rejected God and turned away from him. Our flaws are a result of sin, along with everything wrong with the world. God didn't make them.

I read this book this week about this devout chritian who went to Hell, and then Jesus took him out and told him to tell everyone that this place is real and that it is not his desire for anyone to go there. While he talks about hell he lists reverences to passages in the Bible that relate to...

While reading my Bible today I ran across something interesting that Jesus said. At the beginning of John 10 Jesus is talking about being the good shepherd, and then talks about his sheep who know him (obviously the Christians who choose to follow him). Then he says in verse 16: "I have other...

Because man messed this world up. Thanks to our relative, Adam, the whole world is cursed and stained by sin.

That's because they refuse to turn to the one thing that could set them free.

I agree completely. I've seen myself change for the better too. One of the best ways to witness is by the way you act. If you strive to be like a child of God, like how God wants you to be, your parrents will notice the change, something like that they likely will notice. Perhaps then the idea...

Well that's tough to say. The combination of God's plan and our free will is hard to understand simply because we aren't God. The way I think of it is that God knows what choices we will make, based on what happens to us, and he knows how those choices will effect everything else in the world...

That is very true. God created life. Only he has the right to take it away. And he does: God has taken the life of every person who has ever lived. Here's an analogy: You write a book, but then decide to throw it away. Is that right? Of course it is, you wrote it, you have the right to destroy...

That is a good way to put it :)

There are some that are specific, and some not so specific. What is it you question and I will do my best to answer.

You say we only have free will because we are fallen, and konw the difference of good and evil. Adam and Eve both knew what was right and wrong to do because God said "Don't eat the fruit from the tree." So God created the posability of sin by putting that tree there and giving man free will...

Because we were given free will, and Eve was tricked by the Devil, then (men having a rebelous nature) Adam went along with Eve and ate the fruit too. They both knew God gave them a direct commandment to not eat from the tree but they did anyway. Essentialy, Adam (the spokesperson for all...

Yes, when it says to "Fear God" in the Bible it does not mean to be afraid of him or anything, but to think of Him with a reverential awe.

Oops, seems I accientaly posted the reply twice o_O

Well, think of it from his persepctive. God himself is doing everything you need to believe him because he loves you and desperately wants you to come to him, but you refuse to because you've hardened your heart against him. He knows he's doing enough for you to believe, you just refuse to...

It seems to me that your mom thinks Christianity is a blind faith. That is completely not so. Here's a few reasons why you can trust the Bible and Jesus: 1. The Bible is the most accurate history book in the world. Everything we know about history comes from written documentation we find. Such...

Re: What will WE be Like in Heaven? If you don't believe in "manmande" doctrines, what do you say the Holy Spirit is? And since we're on teh subject why do we baptise in the name of "the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit?"

Oh dang, I totaly didn't notice that...

What egoism are you talking about? The "egoism" of the video I linked? I didn't make that video. I just found it. Egoism refers to acting in one's own self interest. Christianity is about acting in God's interest. And God says to defend the faith at all times. But that has nothing to do with my...

Aww really? I'd like to know why some Christians find Islam superior.
