The one question that Christians cannot answer. I dare any Christian to answer this question.

If God is perfect and has always been perfect. And if God is good and has always been perfectly good, then God has never had to choose to be good. And God has never had to make the choice between Good and Evil. So for God to give humans the choice between good and evil is a logical fallacy.

Why would God create humans having to choose between good and evil when he himself never had to choose between Good and Evil? Why wouldn't God make humans perfectly good like himself?

Furthermore if God is perfect and has always been perfect. And if God is good and has always been perfectly good then it is impossible for God to create evil. Because to create evil is to not be perfectly good.

Your premise is half-baked... at best. You presume "perfect" equates to 0.0 evil. Thanks for your opinion, but where is your evidence that is what "perfect" actually is? A bank robber who pulls off the "perfect" heist becomes known as a "perfect" bank robber. A murderer who kills his target achieves the "perfect" kill. A lion stalking its prey demonstrates the "perfection" of nature. You are perverting the use of the word to reach a predetermined conclusion that you want to see. Tone down your thrill-seeking animosity in exchange for "perfect" learning. Start with a "beginner's mind."

No matter how you want to interpret Bible stories, you will find many examples of God deciding what is good and what is evil. There is no logical fallacy except any that you willfully want to impose. Evil is part of the plan and the nature of life on Earth.

This childish game that there is evil in the world so if there is a God how can that be, is so over-played it literally is sickening and counter-productive. God offers us each free will. You have chosen to use your gift to satisfy your hunger to avoid the truth. In the end, even with the most "perfect" of instruction and guidance, it is up to each of us to find our way.

Keep searching.

@MarkPaul so he gives us free will so that some might choose to burn for eternity… where is the justice?

@Ferise1 Justice is in your own hands. Stop looking for a free ride.

@MarkPaul most people aren’t brainwashed into the Christian cult… does that mean they deserve eternity of pain???

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@Ferise1 Who are "most people?" Are people who make reckless decisions leading to painful consequences part of "most people?" Are you representing only people who genuinely are in pain through (absolutely) no choosing of their own? Are they "most people?" What are you willing to do to live an entirely pain-free existence?

@MarkPaul a lot of westerners are atheists, then there’s Jews Muslims, Asians, none of them were brainwashed by the Christian cult yet according to you they will spend eternity in hell
