Evolution? How?

We don't need no god to know that!

Hi real life,
how do you reconcile the fact that many believe God is responsible for everything, are they wrong and you're right?

Both logic and scripture show us that God is not responsible for our actions.

1) That's rather a stretch even for you to try and use the words logic and scripture congruently!

Scripture is God's wisdom not man's... Why do you have such a problem understanding that, or that God's wisdom may exceed your own and even that collectively of science?

2) Also it's rather the height of hubris to infer that your interpretation of what you consider to be the word of god vis-a-vis "scripture" must be correct and therefore all others who don't agree with your view that "God is not responsible for our actions" must by default wrong.

It stands to reason that someone who actively reads and "studies" a book is going to be more proficient at gleaning it's meaning then someone who is just a blind follower of what "sincere" others say the book says... (I guess that IS the TEST of the "logic of the scriptures".)

3) Since you have singled handedly put the centuries old unresolved debate (as argued by the best philosophical minds) to rest about the existence of free will, merely by saying "God is not responsible for our actions" perhaps you would be kind enough to share with me how you came to this weighty declaration.

The best philosophical minds? Haha What about the mind of God? Are we to just brush that away out of arrogance and self worship? I will take it a step further than RL.. GOD DOES NOT POSSESS... It is not just free will but only the devil possesses the minds of people. People have to put on the mind of God, by their own free will. The word of God is the will of God...

Ro 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

I am going to get a cookie and a cup of tea (it was preordained).

Watch that cookie doesn't bite you back.

Rex, is it god's plan that you are not congruently on topic?

How could that be any less on topic?

Was god so lonely, he had to create this earth with animals that started from the starting gate with so many imperfections? Knowing full well that the majority would not meet his demands? Is he that lonely?

Your indomitable style suggests you could outdo yourself (I guess).

It must have been his sermon at church on Sunday.

Why is it impossible for some to understand that, if God exists, he certainly must have the ability to selectively apply his powers, including his power of foreknowledge?

If the proposition is illogical, someone please tell me why.

If your god were omniscient--all knowing--he/she/it would know these things by definition. There would be no opportunity to "selectively" apply such a "power." That's pretty low by your standards, Boss.
