Bible Quotes Quiz #3

Every bad thing that happens to people is the result of their sin and their fallen status. Every member of ISIS has been given a choice: a choice to follow their own selfish desires or a choice to follow Him who Created them. Some might ask why God does not stop ISIS from committing such crimes. And yet, would we really be free to chose Sin or God if God made himself the only option? That my friend, is no freedom. We have been given the Freedom to chose Sin or Life, and if we choose Sin, we must not complain if Sin is what we get in return. ALL BAD THINGS ARE THE RESULT OF OUR FALLEN NATURE.

yeah that makes absolutely no sense at all.

Yeah, utter bollocks. But your idiosyncratic capitalisation reminded me of my favourite titled person in the history of the world ever, who was the Filipino clergyman Cardinal Sin.

I agree with ChrisInAfrica. It makes do much sense, but most people do not see it that way.

Roley, way to totally misconstrue what ChrisInAfrica said.

There's really no good way to construe it.

Oh dear... The quiz is featured.... More keyboard warrior internet Christian vs Atheist brawls incoming...

Nobody in this comment thread said anything about being an atheist. And they certainly didn't say that (not) announcing this was the sole reason they were taking the quiz. Are you guys only here to announce your belief in fairy tales? Some of us came to take the quiz.

Oh hey look, its almost as if I knew this^ would happen...

"Some of us came to take the quiz..." and post unsolicited opinions and deliberately controversial commentary. Finished your quote for ya, there. You're welcome! XD

Much of what we call evil is the working out of natural laws (earthquakes, fire, disease...). These natural laws might have consequences we don't like, but the things themselves are not evil. The fact that the ground shifts in response to certain internal pressures in the earth is neither good nor evil; it is simply the consequence of the stresses in the earth's crust. The fact that something bursts into flames when the right conditions exist is neither good nor evil; it is simply the consequence of the dry air and the heat of the match. The fact that bacteria multiply in the right circumstances is neither good nor evil. So the only genuine evil is moral evil, sin. What makes an action sinful is the privation introduced by our wills. Evil is a privation; it has no being. It is the lack of due good. So God is not the cause of the existence of evil, because it is a non-being, a privation.

komrad: great. Thanks for sharing your unsolicited and deliberately confrontational opinion with everyone.

diva: I'm a realist. I can talk about God loving or not loving the world the same way I can talk about whether Han or Greedo shot first.

thor: if you believe that the world is controlled by natural laws then this goes against the belief that all things happen according to the will of a deity. We know for a fact that every decision we make is also subject to natural laws: the physics and chemistry of our brains. And if you believe in a creator god that is omniscient and omnipresent and exists outside of time, then this deity created the exact conditions that would lead to all suffering on the planet, whether you decide to label that suffering as natural or not. It knew exactly what would happen should it design the universe as it is and chose to go forward with that design.

Your last five sentences are word salad nonsense.

^ hallelujah

Yeah, to be fair this is easy.

Agree, but even so I couldn't come up with sword.

Atheists quote it all the time.

"Doesn't really fit..." that's misinterpretation my friend.
