If God is all things then does that include sin or is it similar to the yin/yang symbol......?

Question

excuse my ignorrance for just education.....

Answer 1

God created all things for man. Man is what has corrupted all things, well not all but quite a few of them.

When you let your teenager drive your car, and it was fine when they took it, and then wrecked it later that night, where does the fault lie? With you for letting them drive it, or them by being careless, or by someone else's carelessness? God give us a choice, and we choose which path we want to take, but yes, in essence, God is where he needs to be. Good question. Take care.

Answer 2

The question is too vague to be answered directly- if you mean the Christian God; then the answer is that God is not all things, therefore, God does not include sin. The theology that God is all things and all things are God is called Pantheism, and that isn't a doctrine claimed by Christian believers.

The yin/yang symbol (Taiji) isn't a representation of God at all, it is simply a visibly description of the harmonal balance of opposites that allows for proper utilization of chi, or life force.

So...the answer is...no, it doesn't include sin.

Answer 3

God is not all things. He is the creator of all things. Colossians 1:16-18 tells us that God created all things through and for Christ Jesus that in all things God would receive the glory. Meaning everything that was created was meant to give glory to God. There are things that have come about which have been twisted from God's purpose-- sin being one of those things.

it's like if you gave your kid a cookie and instead of eating it he decides to crumble it all over the place, you wouldn't say that the creator of the cookie also created the crumbs. (not the perfect example but i hope the point comes across clearly)...

i love your attitude of just wanting to learn - if there are any questions i can help with don't hesitate to email: [e-mail]

Answer 4

It doesn't include sin since sin came along later.

The yin/yang symbol is similar to the Star Wars "Force", with both dark and bright sides. Christians don't accept this.

God is not all things. He created all things (except sin).

Answer 5

your question does not make a lot of sense to even answer.
yin & yang are the symbol of Taoism, which actually represent opposites... good & bad, light & dark, cold & hot, soft & hard, wet & dry, solid & liquid, .... you get the idea? the concept of yin & yang is that everything in the world has an opposite & is changing --- things are born & die, ice melts & turns to liquid, the sun rises, warms the earth then sets & the night is dark & cool... it has nothing to do with sin.

God may be omnipresent, in all things, or the creator of all things, but we as humans are the ones who sin or err in our ways.

Answer 6

Is 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

God decides what is and is not sin. Also, if you read Romans 9: 17-22, it becomes pretty evident that God chooses who will be a sinner and who will not.

9:17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
9:18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.


9:19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
9:20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
9:22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction

God decided before you were born whether or not you would go to Heaven or Hell, and nothing you can say or do in your life, including becoming "saved" will change that. If God decides that you must sin and go to Hell in order for his master plan to succeed, then according to scripture, there is nothing you can do about it. God will "harden your heart" even if you are a good person in order to accomplish his will.

So yes, God is in sin when he chooses to be.

If you read the Bible, God also has a plan to eventually destroy His creations. This is His "final solution." Am I the only one who sees the irony in the fact that both God and Hitler have a "Master Plan" and a "Final Solution"? (After all, what are the apocalyptic prophesies of Daniel and Revelations, but Gods Final Solution revealed)?

God is evil. Anyone with an ounce of sense or morality would flee from Jehovah, not worship him. Fortunately, Moses invisible friend doesn't really exist.

Answer 7

God is not all things. He is the creator of all things. He is not sin nor is he the creator of sin. Sin was never created. Sin is a state of disobedience to God's authority. It is actions and thoughts that are the opposite of God's created designs---a perversion if you will. This is not creating, but destroying. The devil cannot create---he can only destroy.

Answer 8

God never said he was all things.

He created all things, to include people with the capacity to choose sin or righteousness. He did not create sin, which is an action, not an object.

Answer 9

Most people would blame sin on the Devil. However, if you read the Old Testament, you'll find that the Devil is actually not mentioned a great deal. It's always "GOD punished his followers" or "GOD smote the unbelievers. Food for thought.

Answer 10

Do'nt believe anyone who says they have God all figgured out... No one dose... in the simplest terms, God can do what ever God wants, with and in this universe. God Makes the rules for this universe because he created it. If He wants to make something a sin then it is a sin. You and I do not get to make up our own rules. We play by God's rules or we get to suffer the consequences. Just that simple.

What God can and can not do beyound this creation of His that we live in.... NO ONE KNOWS... And no one will ever know in this mortal world... for those of us who have God's promise of Salvation He may, or may not, fill us in on some more about Himself, at some point, in the future life beyound this earthly existance...

That is why questions such as you pose are unanswerable... man is incapable of answering... If there is absolutly nothing you can do about something...and this is one of those things....Then Do'nt worry about it.
