Since Wednesday, I have been responding to “What They Think
of Us: God Blames Us for His Mistakes.”
I disagree completely with Gene Roddenberry’s criticism. Here is what I believe to be a scriptural
rebuttal.
1.
God did not make a mistake. He intentionally made us as we are.
(Genesis 1:1-31)
2.
He made us in His image. (1:27)
3.
He made us as we are because we must be free to
choose. God does not purpose to
have the mindless obedience of robots or machines.
4.
God knew that the vast majority would reject
Him. He has declared that the few
are worth the costs: a. the billions lost (Romans 1:20), and b. the life of Christ. (Luke
15:10)
5.
Those who chose God are invested with the Mind
of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:16)
6.
He is perfecting us into creatures, not Divine,
but like Himself. Our ultimate
destiny is one of sinless perfection, able to judge angels (1 Corinthians 6:3),
and able to exist in the presence of the perfectly Holy God. We are being perfected (sanctified)
into holiness. (Hebrews 7:25)
