Re: A couple of questions about Christianity that cause me some difficulty
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] None of us do because we are born in a nature of sin. [/ QUOTE ] I find it bizarre that people don't see how cruel this is. this alone shows that this supposed God is more evil than any other being I know of. [/ QUOTE ] So a loving God would have avoided this by creating humans without free will? Is that what you are saying? EDIT: Or are you asking why you should be held responsible for the sins of mankind? What you are failing to understand is that God can't contradict his own nature.

[ QUOTE ]
Jesus and the Father are all one God, right? This means that God punished himself so that he didn't have to punish us. Why? Why not just decide not to punish us? [/ QUOTE ] Good question. He must really love us or something.

[/ QUOTE ] what nature? to be a douche? What in his nature forces him to consider a person as sinful when they haven't even made a single decision yet?
