Comments on: Doesn’t God deserve all credit? http://jasonandngoc.com/2007/07/02/doesnt-god-deserve-all-credit/ the story of us - exposed Thu, 19 Jan 2012 19:01:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jason1365 http://jasonandngoc.com/2007/07/02/doesnt-god-deserve-all-credit/comment-page-1/#comment-895 Jason1365 Wed, 10 Oct 2007 12:51:49 +0000 http://www.jason1365.com/2007/07/02/doesnt-god-deserve-all-credit/#comment-895 So, you can look at it in such as way that God is responsible for everything. But then you miss out on the fact that we have freewill to reject God. James 1:16-17 states, "Don't be deceived, my dear brothers. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." So, since I am full of deceit and wickedness, I reject the good and perfect gifts God gives me for selfcenteredness. This is where the evil comes in. Evil is not from God, but is actually the lack of God's presence. So, where evil exists, God does not. We, as humans, have the ability to allow God to exist in our lives, actions, decisions, words, etc. Or we can reject God and live according to our own fancy. The choice is ours, evil (aka bad things) are not from God but from our own reluctance to give up who we are and how we desire to live (for ourselves) and submit to God's perfection. Therefore, I see your position as flawed because you take an approach that either has God or man creating and enacting both evil and good, where as in reality God creates good and allows us enact that good (or reject it and therefore enact evil - not good).

If you instead, deflect blame for the misery in the world, and place it on people, and say they are responsible for it, it would also imply they are responsible for eliminating it and providing what is good, which mean people deserve all the glory as well.

I'm looking for a video of the puppet master skit you mentioned in an '04 blog. You don't by any chance have one you could upload to youtube or something, do you? I'd love to show it to some people at my college group. As a missionary's kid, I've seen a LOT of skits, and that one has to be the most powerful I've ever seen. Sorry to bug you.
