I'd like to know the answer for this important question:
- when we ask why God let an innocent man die for the sins of others, the reply is that Jesus (the man part of him) had free will and he had the choice to accept or refuse.
- when we ask why Catholic pray to Mary, the reply is that Mary had a free will and she accepted to carry Jesus the baby .. She had the choice to refuse.
- when we ask why mankind were created sinful by God according to christian doctrine , the reply is because Adam had a free will and he chose to disobey God .. He had to choice to obey him.
Both Christians and Muslims agree than God doesn't interfere with our decision although he knows we will do them.

Kimo, is it possible that you left something out ? You said that you'd like the answer to your important question, then you forgot to ask the important question.
Nowhere in your statement is there a question.

your premise is wrong.....very wrong!
God did not let "an innocent man" die for the sins of others.
Jesus Christ, God Incarnate, died for the sins of the world. Jesus is God and, when He came in human form, He was still God and was not subject to "human free will". He was acting according to the wishes of God the Father.
no mere man could have paid the sin debt of the entire human race.
a man isn't even able to pay his own sin debt.
secondly, mankind was not created "sinful"
Adam and Eve were created without sin.
Perhaps you could spend more time reading the Bible and studying the subject matter before putting forth false information.

God of Christianity left the fate of humanity in the hands of men?
I'd like to know the answer for this important question:
No problem. Have you ever made love to someone who was not 100% in the mood? Is it not the most unfulfilling experience in the world? Making love is becoming one with someone. Our relationship with GOD is a lot like that. GOD wants us to be 100% willing to be with him. The problem that we have as humans is that we think that what we see is all that is here. This existence is the end of all things. In that context sure it seems crazy. In Biblical context life is but a vapor at beast on an eternal scale.

The Bible speaks volumes about man's inherant propensity to sin. Remove all influence of God from man, and man would eventually sink to his most base level.
But even with God's influence upon man, man is still drawn to selfishness and greed. And that being the case, the Bible tells us that mankind will eventually destroy the earth and the rest of mankind except that God steps in to intervene at Jesus' Second Coming.

Is this a question?
If it's about 'predestination' due to foreknowledge of some 'supreme being' conflicting w/ the idea of 'free will', then the answer is moot...
It's around a long time, however...
Our immediate fate is, seemingly, from the culture-views (weltanschauungs(?)) of mainstream Islaam & Christianity, something that humanity as a whole 'governs'...
Is there really a point 'n posing this question?

God left the fate of man in man's hands. That is correct. But He did provide His Son as a remedy for sin. He didn't have to do that.

Never. God says in his word (the bible) that he will never forsake the race of man.
He also said that he has never left us, and that he never will.
We have the free will not to be christians, but every man will have a chance to hear the gospel. It is his choice to be able to become a christian or not. If the person is willing God will change their heart. If not, so be it.
God wants us all to be christians. He gives us the oppertunities and we have to make the coice.
Think of it this way....would you rather someone be forced to love you? or chose to love you?
Would you rather to have the choice to love someone?...or would you rather to be forced to love someone?

Jesus was not just a man, but also God in the flesh.
John, chapter 1 verse 14
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
---------------------
Jesus came to die for the sins of all of us.
Hebrews, chapter 9 verse 22
And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
-----------------------------
The Catholic church is a non-Christian cult. Mary has no power to forgive sin.
John, chapter 14 verse 6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
------------------------
God did not create man as sinful, man (Adam and Eve) choose to disobey God, and thus sin entered the world. Adam and Eve used their free will to disobey.
Romans, chapter 5 verse 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:

like the 1st responder stated, virtually each and every component of Christianity became accompanied from pagan religions-virginal beginning, resurrection, performing as a savior, son of a god and human woman, born on December 25, Sunday being the "holy day," Easter, crucifixion, etc. Hercules became a human with god-like potential and a few have self assurance that he particularly did stay as nicely. All superheroes based off of Christianity? Which Christian character did they base "The Flash" off of? Or "The X-adult adult males?" certainly, superheros are based off of well-known way of existence, modern-day concepts and social pressures alongside with conflict, conflict, etc.

Yes. Exactly and when we messed it up he came to the world to pay our penalty of death for us. God is the Father Son and Holy spirit and Jesus is God it was his plan before the creation of the world to save his people. If you read Genesis carefully you can see God's plan for his creation from his creation to his fall through God's plan for salvation of man...The law and the salvation through Jesus Christ.Our free will caused our fall and he came to the world to offer salvation and eternal life through the atonement he provided through Jeus Christ who laid down his life for those who will accept his atonement it also is according to our free will to seek and accept the truth. The ultimate fate of God's people are in God's hands through the atonement he provided.
