Hi Trusthseeker1969,
Thanks for your response. However, you didn't address the Scripture we're considering. You said:
"The choice to sin was Adam and Eves"
Yes, but the choice to have sin pass automatically to children was Jehovah's. This is his fault, because he designed it that way. He is responsible for his own creation - according to his own law at Deut 22:8 - and he CANNOT legitimately 'pass the buck' of responsibility to Adam. Adam is responsible for his own sin, that's all. The creator is responsible for the creation in it's entirety.
"the choice as to whether to give mankind a barrier could have been something Jehovah ignored and left us with nothing".
He did ignore it, that's the point. That's how we got into this mess, because He didn't prevent it as Deut 22:8 says he must. But I gather you are talking about the Ransom, given later.
"However the ransom sacrifice was the "barrier" he gave to all therefore saving those who chose to follow."
It's not a barrier, because millions of people died before the ransom was paid and millions have died after. It was not a barrier to suffering and death. It's already happened. It's too late. And anyway, according to the Bible those who died don't need the ransom because death eliminates their sin. So it prevented nothing. What you are really saying is that after causing untold suffering and the deaths of billions, Jehovah finally got around to trying to clean his own mess up. To little too late.
"It is exactly that freedom of choice and that freedom of will that gives us the ability to think and act as we please..."
Sorry, this is all unscriptural and simply your opinion. Paul said we are all BORN "slaves" to sin. We don't have free will, because our natures are NOT free, they are in slavery to sin, because of Jehovah's negligence.
"and lets not forget that it was made plain to Adam and Eve, the consequences of their choice to disobey."
No, you can't pass the buck like that. It was Jehovah who designed mankind so that sin and death would automatically pass to innocents. He could have done otherwise - so that only those who CHOSE to sin paid the price. But no, he chose a system far more unfair. And Deut 22:8 doesn't say that if someone commits suicide from a roof that you are excused responsibility as it's builder for failing to build a barrier as required by law. There are no loopholes.
"No loving God would ever instill in man a drone attitude to follow as that would not be a loving God."
No loving God would intentionally design a system in which innocent billions were forced to suffer and die for the sin of their parents.
"And so no Jehovah is not bloodguilty in anyway."
I'm afraid you haven't proven anything. But I respect that this is the opinion you choose to endorse.
