    While I agree creation exhibits God's glory (Psalm 19:1) and God's infinite power (Romans 1:20), I also know that "the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now" (Romans 8:22). I understand what you are saying ... please show me one verse in Scripture which indicates...

    I did not say "God can sin". I said that under your premise ("it was Satan who got his hands dirty, but it was God who sanctioned it") you are saying that God approved of satan's actions.

    reneweddaybyday said: please explain how "knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death" equals "man continually" responding to God "ignorantly". do not agree they are "ignorant of their true estate before God". Romans 1:32 makes it quite clear they know...
