How so? Is illiteracy a bad thing? Jesus may very well have been illiterate.

If freedom has limitations, it is not freedom.

I never claimed God created 'evil', however... "For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him." - Colossian 1:16

Does apply to just me, or to everyone?

Good question. That would be like having the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5!

Would that matter?

I do think it is extreme. When the Bible clearly states that God created all, it would be an actus in extremis to deny this openly, on a Christian forum no less.

Why the dislikes?

"For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him." - Colossian 1:16 You deny the omnipotence of God. I am reporting you for heresy.

Okay, I don't believe you are fully literate and as such I will not respond to you further.

Are you sure? Apparently one has free will to hear whatever they wish, so what you said is not strictly true.

God is omnipotent. Therefore he can sin and can create sin. I have reported you for denying this. Do you believe man is perfect? Colossians 1:6: "For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things...

I appreciate English may not be your first language and such you are not fully literate. Would you awfully mind rephrasing that sentence that I might better understand it? Thank you.

What am I 'equally saying'?

Really? If only I could choose not to listen. I live in a rather noisy neighbourhood and it would save my buying noise-cancelling headphones if I could simply 'choose' not to listen to my immediate environment. 'God cannot sin so he cannot create it'. I will report you since you deny God's...

If your own mind or body does something that you did not will it do to do, you don't have free will. Where does Genesis say 'we' 'made sin'?

I thought we were discussing free will. Not 'choices in the sense that it requires thought and conscious'.

No, I'm not 'upset' about that. The fact that they do so without any conscious effort on my part is evidence in contradiction to my having free will.

One does not get to decide who one is...unless you subscribe to the belief that, for example we can 'choose' our race and gender, for example? The mind and body are inextricably linked. Fear is a sensation as much in the mind as in the body. Can we choose as to whether or not we feel fear...
