You're still missing the point. The painter can do whatever he pleases with his creation but he should not fault his creation for doing what it does, given the conditions he created it with. Ultimately, the painter is the responsible party for any action that the painting takes.
Wrong again my friend. Unlike the painting, God created humans with a free will. He didn't create humans with a sin nature. And just so we understand what sin is; sin is not living the way God has ordained. God ordained humans to trust, believe, and obey Him. Therefore, God gave man a test of allegiance. Would man obey God or would man disobey God? Well 6,000 down the road we see the answer to that question. The consequences of our first parents disobedience is clearly evident for all to see. So thus God is not responsible for man eating of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, just like a parent is not responsible when a child goes and touches a hot stove after the parent told the child not to do it.
Over the course of our on-line friendship WestBrooklyn the same recurring theme continues to manifest itself in our dialogue. Which is your failure to look at the man in the mirror. Until you own up to your own sin by looking in the mirror and taking responsibility, you will continue to try to pass the buck until you reach the grave. But if you reach the grave without the buck being passed, you will still be holding the buck when you stand before God on the last day, and when that day comes you will have to finally face the truth without anybody being able to take the buck from you. Are you prepared for such a horrific fate? No one is my friend. No one is prepared to meet God apart from Jesus Christ!
But thanks be to God that if you come the way that God has ordained, through Christ, you can have the buck passed from you to Him. And on Him the buck has already being paid for with His precious blood. Therefore when you stand before God at the Bema seat of Christ, the judgement of rewards for believers, God will see Christ in you and not the horrible buck of sin, which Christ took upon Himself on your behalf. Hallelujah! But you have to do it His way, not yours. Are you willing?
