did this "sinless" God not have a lying spirit help him deceive Ahab?
It's IMPOSSIBLE for God to lie

Heb 6:18

Adam and Eve is the reason we are here today

The answer is sin!

Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

God created a perfect world but Adam who was the head of the physical creation disobeyed God and brought sin into the creation, everything on earth is under a curse, hence the hardship abnormalities both medically and in otherwise, this world is literally dying, there is chaos,bitterness,pain, sickness, poverty, and every other malady.

But thank God he provided a means of redemption, Jesus christ the lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world.
Jesus Christ is the solution to sin he literally became sin (by taking on our sin) so we can become the righteousness of God.
the creation itself would be set free from its bondage when the sons of God (the redeemed are manifest) but however the future of this universe is complete annihilation by God.

However, God has a plan of creating a complete new heaven and earth with new human beings in them, this new creation is free from sin and as a result free from the woes of this creation and this my friend is what we the saints look forward to.

Dear friend to be part of this new creation all you have to do is to repent, (have a change of heart towards God by embracing his way) and faith towards Jesus christ.

Have you ever broken any of the Ten Commandments? If yes, why?
Again has there being any man who have lives without breaking the law?

I have answered you already.


Steep:

The holy spirit does not strife! The spirit does not help anyone who depend on the law.
The Help the holy spirit will give you is to turn you to Jesus.

Where did you get all that from?

Steep:

The spirit of Jesus only cause the new birth in anyone that comes to him.

What is the new birth?

Steep:

Jesus cannot be Lord over anyone who does not put down their righteousness and accept Jesus righteousness.

You did not answer my questions.

How is he showing his lordship over you, steep? Tell me.

How is he "lording" over you --- exercising his lordship over?

In what ways are you showing his lordship over you, steep?


Steep:

You have to reconcile with God, put down all pride and arrogance and superfluousness of naughtiness and accept the sincere milk of the word.

Jesus is saviour!


Oyibo!

What is reconciliation as it concerns the righteous walk?

Since anger is a fruit of the flesh, a sin. Then Jesus sinned at least twice. Just as his father got angry severally at world and its inhabitants that it made me wonder if God was the seed of Adam...

You are not The Judge, so your judgement is null and void.

And secondly, it is obvious you do not know when a sin is committed, hence you are not a good judge.

So, no road either way.

Why did a virgin give birth to Jesus if sin wasn't transferable?

Ah, is a prostitute holy? Please there are some questions that should not be asked.

Even the Angels declaration tells you everything "thou art highly favoured and The Lord is with thee:"

Secondly, you obviously did not see that when she became pregnant, Joseph did not touch her for they both knew that "the Child in her is Holy"!

What Holiness is greater than this?

Roycemadeit:

Why would I have to be born again too?

You are not God's child, you are Satan's child (we all are) which is why you delight to do evil. (I bet you did not see The Law of Good Tree, good fruit and evil tree, evil fruit)

Second Law, "By their Fruit, we shall know them". So since your fruits proves evil, then God is not your Father.

God's children hate evil and do not do it, hence convertion is necessary, exactly as right handed cars must be converted to left handed cars before they can ply Nigerian and American Roads.

Being "Born Again" is the process of Convertion!

A right handed Peugeot 406 will be born again after it has been converted to left hand drive and released to drive on Nigerian roads.

The answer lies in Job 9:24. Satan is the one controlling the earth, just imagine how the world controlled by satan will look like. That his why Jesus asked his followers to pray for God's kingdom to come at matthew 6:9,10. Until then they earth will continue to be full with sufferings, we should always pray for God to hide us from all this satanic waves

Is because the devil that cause the suffering is still existing in the earth and the Sins it makes people to commit...but the Bible says that people will face tribulations, sorrows, hardship, challenges but that God will give us the grace and power to overcome the challenges, sorrows, hardship and live a prosperous and happy life...but since people to do not repent and be born again and commit sins...so it's the sins that makes there be suffering in the earth

Who told you there is more suffering in the world now?
Have you visited histories of world evolution especially health and famine.

People now know what causes most if not all the ailment they suffer and have cure for them. People live in comfort now. Absolute comfort.
Lifespan has increased.
If your country is not progressing, query your politicians.

In most part of Europe and Asia, average lifespan is 85yrs.

So what are you talking about abi you are using your country as yardstick?

The ruler of the world is Satan & he delights in acts of wickedness. He influences people and governmnents to act wickedly and cause suffering for others- 1 John5:19

Thankfully he will so be removed along with all wicked people, paving the way for a peaceful world devoid of any suffering.

So much suffering on earth abi Nigeria?
I remember back in the days in London wen an uncle told me there is God in London
He said it in yoruba
Ibiyi ni olorun wa
This is where God is

Then when he said it,there has not been cases of kidnap this rampant in Nigeria,but now with ritual killings

Today when i hear all sorts of things that is happenening in Nigeria makes me remember that line and i ask if God is really not in Nigeria
Cos even believers fall victims of ritual killings
Like Nigeria is hell
While sane climes is heaven
Which way Nigeria

Sin has been part of creation. It is timeless just like the universe.

However, my concern is that the G-d you refer here seem not to be omnipotent and omniscient, otherwise G-d is supposed to know the end from the beginning and save himself from the stress of repeating a finished work which the sacred book wrote "and God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good and He validated it completely"

Or do you have a other god in mind?

It's until I studied and adopted Yoruba Ifa spirituality that I have very clear understanding of this world that we call Ile-Aye. Without trying to discredit other religion or spirituality, I don't think there is any other spirituality that provide a very deep knowledge of how the different elements of this world are interwoven. We need to first have a right conceptualization of the Supreme Being, the creation of earth, humans and other physical elements. Unfortunately most Africans have adopted European concept of the Suoreme Being, which says that God is benevolent, and thats why we are confused about so many things. But that attribute doesn't fit Yoruba concept of the Supreme Being. Here is why. As IFA says that "Tibi Tire La Da Ile-Aye", meaning that "We have created this Earth with Positive and Negative Forces". The task of creating humans and other lives and things on earth was assigned to 3 deities. After creating human beings called Eniyan, they also assigned the task of their good well beings to 400 ÷ 1 deities (i.e. Orisas). They now realized that, it was impractical to live in a world where everyone live in a state of constant goodness. In such state, humans would have no concept of evil and won't be aware of what it mean to be good. For this reason, they created 200 negative forces to counterpoint the positive forces. Among these negative forces called Ajoguns are deities for death, diseases, etc. This is necessary because in a world where everything is good, responsibility, purnishment, reward, importance of good character will be irrelevant, And whatever humans does in such state of 100% goodness will not be by choice or by free-will. Imagine that you are employed in a company where every employee are on a salary of $1 million, with no reward system for performance or penalty for poor performance. Therefore living in world of duality of positive and negative forces will allow humans to be able to pursue "Iwapele", which is good character. Sadly, humans have chosen to exhibit bad characters and a life of inflicting evil on one another. And this comes with responsibility and rewards for bad character that the 200 Ajoguns must see to. Though not all rewards for bad character are repaid in a single life. However, adopting Iwapele as a way of life will help humans get protection and rewards from the good forces of nature. Offering sacrifices to seek the favor of the positive forces is also a way to bring oneself under their protection. An obvious demonstration of the working of the duality of nature is seen in the jungle or savanna. In the world of animals and plants in such environments, if there is no death, there can't be life.

Deuteronomy 5:9 is not so different from Numbers 14:18...I am a jealous God, and I will bring the curse of a father's sins upon even the third and fourth generation of the children of those who hate me...

It more or less seems like you are ignorant, and if you aren't, then you are a liar.

Unfortunately, there is no verse in the Bible where the devil killed... Unlike God, who sent his angels and fire to kill children and who commanded nations to be wiped out... And more so, how would the devil punish you for the same crime he committed... Y'all should get your stories right.
