    Why would God have to create a Son to save mankind from damnation if God is the one that condemned Mankind to damnation in the first place ? lol

    He didn't condemn them. He gave them one and only one rule. They chose to disobey that rule, and were punished for it. As far as the rest of man being punished for it as well, it works like this: If you had a million dollars saved up and did something illegal and had to pay that million in restituion for whatever you did wrong, you wouldn't have that money to leave to your children when you died. Same with the first two, they had eternal life and a paradise to hand down but as punishment for breaking their only rule that was taken away, so they were not able to give eternal life and the paradise to their children to enjoy, and their children were not able to pass it along either because they never had it.

    Also Jesus was created long before man.

    You haven't explained why God would have to send Jesus to earth to die for the Sins that God condemned us for ? lol

    The Cambridge Dictionary defines it as, "the basic level of practical knowledge and judgment that we all need to help us live in a reasonable and safe way".

    He didn't have to send Jesus. Jesus chose to do it. Its kind of like this, if you were driving and hit someone's car you'd have to pay for the damage to it. Well since the first two were perfect, and chose to sin, they were punished, and could not pass on perfection to their offspring, as my example above. In order to buy it back, another perfect human would have to pay for it. Thus Jesus choice to come to earth to die to pay for it. Which leads to the Bible verse John 3:16, Whoever believes in me shall not perish but have eternal life. So anyone who accepts Jesus will be made perfect again after death, and live again forever.

    Sorry I'm not the best at explaining it. I know their are others who can much better than I.

    It depends on what you define God as, by God do you mean the God of the Abrahamic traditions, or not? I belive in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The Holy Godhead 3-in-1

    Atheism is mindless? I disagree. You say "There are many good reasons and evidence to believe in God." I would disagree and say that in fact there are many good reasons and much evidence NOT to believe in God. Look at the famous atheists, look how many of them are responsible for important scientific advancements. You call them mindless?

    I think it would be wise to show respect for all belief systems, including the lack thereof. Just because you don't agree, doesn't mean you need to insult others.

    If you don't agree that Atheism is mindless, then provide your evidences to justify belief that No God exists. I provided mine below.

    You also need to check your facts. Most scientists are not Atheists and most of the greatest scientists have been Theists.

    I think Atheism is mindless. It's also proven horrifically dangerous when taken seriously to it's logical conclusions - no moral truth, no intrinsic significance or value to human life, no ultimate accountability.
    ,Atheists Stalin, Mao, Lenin, Pol Pot, Kim Jung, Castro et al have shown us the horrific moral insanity of Atheism taken seriously - over 100 MILLION Dead and half the planet enslaved under brutal tyranny in this past century alone. I have very good reason for my low opinion of Atheism, .

    Here is a very cursory outline of some of the best evidences for God. The full arguments and evidences are not NOT adequately explained here. This is a very compacted outline I put together - not comprehensive.

    Contingency – Why does something exist rather than nothing? Something cannot begin from nothing without a cause, so Something must self-exist. Self-existence is necessary.

Self –creation is impossible. The Universe began. Universe is not self-existent. Universe requires a causally antecedent agency to explain it’s existence. God does not – no beginning.

    Cosmological – Absolute beginning requires a cause. Cause of Physical Universe cannot be Physical. Must be non-physical, space-less, timeless and willful to cause Physical Universe from Physical Nothingness.

    Design: Specified ordered and integrated interdependencies aimed towards a third-purpose design objectives clearly infer intelligent agency. ‘Chance’ events within limited time-frames cannot rationally account for Design achievements No plausible Naturalistic mechanisms or explanations actually exist. Origin of radically sophisticated DNA information (software) driving molecular highly sophisticated molecular machines within each cell. Also, the design inference from irreducible complexity cannot and certainly has not been adequately explained.

    Precision FINELY TUNED constants and quantities present in initial conditions of the Universe to within infinitesimally narrow ranges to permit life. Universe is precision balanced on razor’s edge. This is virtual mathematical proof of intent – a function of mind – is necessary to explain these precision orderings.

    Ontological argument – God is a metaphysically necessary Being. Since God’s attributes are metaphysically possible, and all metaphysical possibilities must also be actual if possible, God must be actual.

    Intelligence in Nature: Intelligence, order and reason and information all from Nothingness?

    Spiritual instinct of man: Evolved to connect with something not actual?

    Free-will: Chemical causation is not free-will. Agency requires a soul. Chemicals have no moral duties.

    Moral Truth / Apprehension of Objective moral truth. Is rape really wrong or just an illusion? Is rape just a natural chemical byproduct caused by electrochemical activity (Atheism) – or an act of will.

    Massive Historical evidences of witnessed Miracles, visions, fulfilled prophecies,.

    Personal experiences: Ubiquitous NDE’s, supernatural phenomena

    Christ’s resurrection witnessed by hundreds.

    Absolute failure of Naturalism to explain a Finely tuned Universe, Finite Universe, Sentience, Rational truth and natural order, Moral Law (morality), intuition, intentionality, intelligence, purpose, free-will…

    The fact that no Atheist can provide any valid justification for their belief means.

    The fact that Atheists must shirk any intellectual burden to justify belief. They define Atheism as a "lack of belief" (a description of a psychological state - neither true nor false) rather than an intellectual belief POSITION is evidence that Atheism is mindless.

    The fact that Atheists try to hide Atheism behind definitions that are indistinguishable from Agnosticism is evidence Atheists cannot justify their beliefs on the merits.

    How many times must your protests fail?

    Where is your evidence to justify Atheism?

    Defeat my many evidences for Theism - including the impossibility of free-will that we all experience from electro-chemical causation.

    Do you Atheists ever take intellectual responsibility when proven wrong? No, you don't.

    I have fully justified my belief in God - and justified my belief that Atheism is mindless.

    You state quite clearly "atheism is mindless", which clearly shows, like shockofgod, you have the arrogance to close your mind not only to any other belief, but place yourself as intellectually superior to any who disagree with you.
    That is not a basis for logical debate, or the sign of an even adequate scholastic intellect.

    (Fact) I just gave you evidence that 'Atheism is Mindless' is correct. You ignored it.

    (Fact) You have utterly failed to provide any evidence to justify Atheist belief.

    Facts Matter ...Unfortunately, you lost that 'stupid little game'.

    The irony is that Atheists define Atheism is terms of a mindless psychological state of 'lacking a belief' hoping to hide their actual belief from any burden to justify.
    Rocks and tree stumps lack a belief. Humans hold belief positions.

    Why would I 'open my mind' to accepting a belief position that is indefensible in reason and evacuates all moral truth, intrinsic values and significance from life? I may as well 'open my mind' to becoming a heroin addict. Some ideas are just stupid.
