    I think your confusing yourself with the language that your using. God created the actors. The actors have free will and commit the acts.

    I'll try to make my point with this example, which I'm sure you've heard:

    The question is just jibberish. It has no basis in reality.

    I'm not sure exactly how to define what you are doing with the language you are using here but it misses the mark, somehow.

    Love is something that requires two actors.....the love is between those two actors. Maybe you mean it on a different level than I do.....don't know exactly but the act takes place between those two, independent beings.

    There are always two or more involved. Maybe that's why God created everything.....I know God is supposed to be "Love" at some level. But I'm well outside my level of expertise and do not profess to understand why exactly God made the world, but it is here.

    Choosing not to manipulate and allowing our free will is not the same as the inability to manipulate.
    Inspiration of the Bible is not a limit of free will. The authors had the choice to write or not write.


    I am not following how free will is a demonstration of that.

    The best definition I have ever heard is that sin is like the darkness. Is there such think as the darkness or is it just an absence of light and darkness is how we describe it. So does sin exist or is it actually just the absence of its opposite and thats how it is described.

    makes sense except that according to the bible, God said "let there be light" therefore before there was only darkness. So darkness existed before God created light.

    It seems rather simple. Sin comes with God.

    By definition, "Sin" is a religious crime.
    Therefore religion must exist for sin to exist.
    By definition, a religion requires that there is a diety.
    As a result, sin cannot exist without God.
