We can be deceived, if we are unwilling to take responsibility for our throughts and actions. We will naturally seek a scapegoat to "blame" for our sinning. And Satan is more than ready to align himself with us, if we decide to "blame" God. It's easy to blame God. He is invisible so we think He is absent. It's so much easier to blame an absent someone for our transgressions or failures because they don't seem to be there to contradict us or prove us wrong. God did not make you a sinner, that came naturally. It wasn't Mom's or Dad's behavior toward you that caused you to do something destructive. No, you decided to respond with anger, bitterness and unforgiveness yourself. It is "your own lust" that tempted you to sin; and, you gave into it. The resulting evil is your own doing, not God's. God has continually labored to separate you from evil and sin. He removed Adam and Eve, your forefathers, from the garden so they wouldn't give evil "eternal" existance and death the victory. He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to redeem you from your sin and reconcile you to Himself so you would be blessed with life. If there is any good in your life, it is a gift from God. Be thankful and show it by honoring God, not blaming Him. Do not be decieved into believing that God has any part in evil or any fellowship with sin. He does not! Think about it.
