No suggestions. I am stating plainly that God
has given you an option. Love sin, or love Him. If there was
no option, the Church would be the slave of Christ rather than the bride. I
assume that you love someone now, or have in the past. Do you want
that person to love you because they have that option, or would you prefer
that they had no choice? You are made in His
image. Do you find it odd that you and God have something in common?Seems
simple to me, but then, what does an old redneck know? I
am not certain just what a protestant is. I can't find it in the Bible.TerryRight
Bro. We are not protesting anything-simple telling the truth.
DAVEH: I am just curious
as to why some protesters feel the need to be obnoxious while doing so.
Did Jesus demonstrate in an obnoxious manner to those who had dissimilar
beliefs?
We are not protesters.

If you ain't ever seen ugly, how you gonna 'preciate

DAVEH: Terry.....Are you
suggesting God has given us sin so we can appreciate him??? I hope
that isn't doctrinal Protestantism. If it is, it does seem a bit
perverse.

DAVEH: No problem, Judy. After sleeping
on it last night, I may have a better way of explaining myself this morning.
So, I'll reword it in another way.
As I understand Protestant theology,
God created Satan and knew what Satan would do. He also created Adam
and Eve and knew what they were going to do. Unless God intended
for Adam/Eve to 'fall', why do Protestants place them in a situation where
he knew they would fall? Or better yet, why did God create Satan,
knowing all the trouble he would ultimately cause?
If God is all knowing, and all powerful
then it would seem like either he made a mistake, or he intended that sin
and failure be a part of our life. I think everybody agrees that
he doesn't make mistakes, so why do Protestants think sin is good for us?
Yes, I know......Protestants don't believe sin is "good for
us", but I don't know how else to word it. Apparently there
is a 'good' purpose for sin.......I'm just curious what value Protestants
find in sin.
