No, I didn't misread. I just don't agree with you. If they were created perfect... how come did they end up being imperfect? If they were perfect in the first place, how did they cave in to their temptations? Therefore, they were not perfect to start with.

They were given free will. A choice was made.

A baby born is perfect in every way in the eyes of parents.

Not all babies. My nephew born dead 8 minutes, that not perfect. Not even my sister tell you that. And perfect not perfect if perfection need be qualified.

No. You misunderstand, again.

ok explain then. You just say perfect tantamount robot. If God perfect, then by your logic, God robotic.

You're not making sense. Creating a person that is able to think and make their own decision is better than to create a person who is not allowed to think and make their own decisions. One is given the gift of free will which is not an example of a "robot." While the other is an example of a "robot," unable to think and make choices of their own because they have no free will to begin with.

I had one atheist put me down because I celebrate holidays with religious history like Christmas. I don't go to church but holidays are a great way to get together with family and friends.

Jesus was not born on Christmas day. In fact, many speculated he was born in the springtime.

When Christianity first started spreading throughout the Roman empire, it was somewhat blended with local pagan celebrations, such as the annual pagan winter festivals and feasts (tied in with winter breaks from agriculture, just like students' summer vacations were tied in with peak of agriculture season). December 25th would be just after the winter solstice happened - winter festivals were also tied in with solstices - the Winter Solstice would be December 21st.

Easter was named after a German pagan goddess of Spring - Esther. This is another example of combining local pagan customs with Christianity.

The bible itself makes zero references to celebrating Jesus' birthday.

Incorrect. Matthew 2:1-12. To worship the birth of Christ is to celebrate.

Does god have free will?

God is very much limited by his creator. God prays every day for salvation, but at last, it was not to be. :( God is stuck with us pitiful humans. :cry:

Poor God, he gave us free will now cannot stop us from being bad all the time. Phoo, if only God's creator had made him omnipotent.



:giggle:

I think the concept of freewill is entirely a different concept for humans to that of God. We are constrained in our human bodies, God is not.

How do you know if it's any different for God? Where does the Bible talk about this?

That we are constrained to our bodies (this is debatable, according to some mystics) has nothing to do with free will.

See something as perfect not mean is perfect. This call subjectivity. Is inherent in parent-child relationship. Parent might view baby perfect, baby most assuredly not so.

Sunny, you make a really good point!

A few years ago a really good friend of mine had a baby and I nearly jumped out of my socks the first time I saw the baby. He was the ugliest baby I have ever seen. But, the first thing I signed to him was "Awww, he is so cute". The parents were beaming there was no way I was going to to say "ugly baby". heck no way!

As the baby grew, he always looked angry. Now he seems to be starting to fill in a bit better and just looks confused. He still has a ways to go, I'm secretly hoping his face changes a little more and he gets to an intellectual look. He is still young, so we will see.
