Is God a Bonehead, or What?
I received an email from someone who asks whether God is a bonehead. What do you think?
John, love your blog. It has helped me come out of fundy Christianity of the mennonite persuasion.
Just wondering here. I've never seen this tack taken before:
When God created the angels they must have been perfect along with Satan. Apparently they rebelled, and were subsequently kicked out of heaven, indicating a free will on their parts. So God's plan was fucked up. Then what does he do? He tries again by creating man. Same result, except this time he let an evil serpent into the garden of eden to tempt his second attempt of perfect beings.
Is God really such a bonehead? Two failed attempts here. Funny thing is though, some angels remained loyal. The evil choice of one did not doom them all necessarily, it was a true individual decision. Somehow we weren't granted that same opportunity, we're all doomed by association with adam and eve. Any thoughts?
