My friend Patrick:

Quote:
If [G]od created man in his own image, and man is "evil",[sic] wouldn't that make [G]od evil since we are of his "perfect image"[sic]


I, personally, realize that man "screwed up" in eating the fruit. But if God created Man in His image, isn't God an ignorant, gullible idiot? No offense intended, by the way.

Nope.

Scripture is very clear that God's hand is in all things. Everything is part of His plan. What's my point? God allows what He hates to accomplish what He loves. What point would there be in creation if He allowed man to stay perfect? We would all come to Him without Him having to do anything. Personally I think God prefers very much that we come to Him rather than having us always be with Him.

Two analogies to help it a little.

God is always called the Father. If you are always sneaking out to parties, getting drunk, failing school, sleeping around, and everything else you can think of, yet your father always loves you, think how happy he would be when you stop all of that and tell him you love him. Much better than always being a good kid who never makes a single mistake.

God is also a sheapard. Would a caring, loving sheapard rather have sheep that never leave the same field so all he has to do is stand there? Or be able to tend to his flock when the sheep go astray?

Well, first of all, it's shepherd.

Second of all, you're right... I met an extraordinary woman who has turned me from total atheist to almost agnostic. I don't practice any religion, but I am much closer to the belief that he's there, now.
