No, he also ordered the two to leave the Garden of Eden.
And with good reason. See my remark above.
Nope. It's because the whole A&E story is too silly to believe.
Is that why he created evil; he was perfect?
So the Bible story goes, I guess.
Is
what abuse?
Until he makes a mistake of two:
Genesis :6
And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
1 Samuel 15:35
And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death. Nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul; and the Lord repented that He had made Saul king over Israel.
Then he's imperfect, just like the rest of us.
Vs.
"Matthew 5:8
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God."
So obviously there are some whose heart isn't evil all the time. But if this is true, what gives? Oh yes, it's one of those Bible contradictions most believers are loath to admit to: "
Read Genesis 6:5. but Stay away from Matthew 5:8"-
OR- if you want to assert how pure of heart humans can be,
Read Matthew 5:8. but Stay away from Genesis 6:5"
Cherry picking is so cool, ain't it.
And when that hope runs out---the guy dies before hearing about god's sin/salvation program---it's off to hell you go old man.
Heh! Heh!

A few days ago, some premium member sent me a PM telling me that I shouldn't quote bible text to an atheist because it is offensive. Told me the Forum Rule number which I believe he was reading between the lines. Now I see, an atheist who quotes the bible to me, I find that funny. But then again the guy who sent me a message is a Hindu. This really reminds me of a situation when a Christian, an atheist and a Hindu walks in a bar or some WWF match.
Anyways, I find that day really weird.
If the A&E is hard to believe, then what is easy to believe?
Aliens re-engineered the Neanderthal and became Homo Sapiens
Humans are the lost tribe as depicted in Battlestar Galactica
Human came from the primordial pool
There is nothing to believe - that is a no brainer.
We are distancing away from the Eskimo, poor Eskimo. Did God create evil? No.
His creation made themselves evil.
It is like blaming the parents of

Is it right blaming their parents or they became what they wanted to be?
The grief and the regret that the parents is the same grief and regret of the Lord God on mankind.
What is the reaction and the feeling of a mother when she hears her son say:
"Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, oh oh
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters"

I could have posted a music video of this but another guy sent me a PM telling me that showing videos on YouTube is considered spamming and advertisement.
Shiver me timbers, Skwim!
If you have a son like that, you would grieve and you would regret that you could have done something.
That feeling is not because the parent made a mistake but the grief and regret that it happened.
The issue is on the act and not the person.
That would address - 1 Samuel 15:35
What did King Saul commit that God regret making him king of Israel?
Disobedience
1 Samuel 15:11
That would address Genesis 6:6
What did mankind commit that God grieved creating them?
Great wickedness
Genesis 6:5
Cherry picking?
There are no cherries where I am at. We have mangoes, papayas, bananas so I couldn't relate.
But I have seen bottled cherries and in fruit cocktails.
Did God create evil? No.
The first evil was from a cherub [angel]
Ezekiel 28:14
He was created without sin but committed sin
Ezekiel 28:15
And he was evicted because of his sin
Ezekiel 28:16
Expelled to Earth
Ezekiel 28:17
That is why I said we are our own making.
Like the cherub, he was created perfect until he fault was found in him, a sin which he himself committed.
