Why Weren’t We Made Sinless in the First Place?

from Stand to Reason Weekly Podcast · host Greg Koukl

Greg answers questions about why we weren’t made sinless in the first place, the morality of using donor sperm to conceive, whether we would conclude the Holy Spirit is equal to the Father and Jesus without the Nicene Creed, how God knows the future, and baptism for the dead.   Topics: If our evil will be removed in Heaven, why weren’t we made that way in the first place? (02:00) Would it be morally wrong for a Christian married couple to use donor sperm to conceive a child if the husband is infertile? (23:00) Would we come to the conclusion that the Holy Spirit is equal to the Father and Jesus Christ without the Nicene Creed, and if early Christians didn’t believe in the Trinity, were they not saved? (31:00) Does God only know the future simply because he plans the future? (41:00) What are your thoughts on the reference to baptism for the dead in 1 Corinthians 15:29? (47:00) Mentioned on the Show:  Submit a question on the Open Mic Line
