    ๐Ÿ‘† Detailed Explanation Creation and

    Event Are Two Completely Different Subjects and Concepts

    Continued ๐Ÿ‘† Detailed explanation Creation and event are two completely different subjects and concepts. Creation is created by God from Sunday to Friday in the period of creation, and an event can be a situation or process that describes the change (new thing) observed in the body of creation. God's creations are called creatures, and a change in the creation is called an event. Therefore, sin and death are not creatures created by God, but events that occurred later in the life of humanity. Therefore, sin is not the nature that God created in Adam's character. Instead, sin is the result of an evil action that is contrary to the good laws given to man by his God written in a book, and carved by his conscience. Some wrongly believe that if God did not create sin, then it must be the creation of the devil and give the devil the honor of being the creator. The truth is that the devil does not have the ability and capacity to create evil or good things, but to destroy what has been created. The devil originated sin in his nature, he did not create it. However, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ said that it is the "father of lies". (John 8:44) The devil and his army sinned by their own free will and put their righteousness aside. This was not imposed on them by another body. Death is not the nature of man, but it suits his nature. Likewise, sin is not a natural characteristic of the devil or human beings, but because it suits their nature, they have become sinners. All creation is given a thinking mind to think. It is impossible to think with our mind and not to know. Satan was an angel by nature, but by his own pride he was called Satan. A man is cunning not because he is naturally cunning, but because he likes trickery of his own free will. So it is our own free will and choice that destroyed us. God did not create any sin. But we ourselves have loved evil and committed sin. The will of the character is the will of the soul, and the will of the soul is to live in righteousness, holiness, thanksgiving, and spirituality. Therefore, sin is the fault of humans and angels, not God's responsibility, nor is there any reason connected with their nature, so they are responsible only for themselves. The human being, endowed with understanding and wisdom, whose grace resembles God, who is created free of will, and who has power over himself, is the cause of evil and evil for each of his own lives. Man, using his free will, sometimes becomes righteous and sometimes sinful. As the Prophet said, "The human race was glorious, but they became like animals without a heart." Mankind's main adversary is the devil, but not all of our downfalls are attributable to Satan. Even if there is no such thing as Satan, as long as human beings do not use their free will properly, it is bound to stumble (fall). In fact, the scriptures tell us about the fierce struggle of the devil by saying, "Your partner the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." Even so, he has no power unless he gets free consent from us. The wise Solomon said, "Do not court death by the error of your life or bring on destruction by the works of your hands, because God did not make death, and he does not." (Wisdom 1:12). He said that because we live in wrong thoughts and by our own will, we bring destruction and death with our own hands. Humans have the ability to save themselves. This ability is voluntary and supported by behavior. The apostle St. Paul said, "Every man deserves to be commanded." 2 Pet 2:19 We can be slaves to those whom we love and to whom we obey. In his message, the apostle Saint James said, "Each one is tempted when he is drawn and deceived by his own desire, and if desire is conceived, it gives birth to sin, and if sin is conceived, it gives birth to death" (James 4:14-15). May God cut off the cord of sin that we are willingly drawn into. Continued ๐Ÿ‘‡
