6:55 Why would the Creator of the universe need His creations to evangelize on His behalf? Evangelize to whom? Other creations? HE does not need an agency. Jesus IS the Lord! Jesus, the Son, IS the Father! Jesus IS the Holy Spirit! Why would the heavenly Father need to build a body of believers, an agency, to evangelize to unbelievers? How can there even be unbelievers in a created universe? Every being in a created universe must, by definition, know its Creator.
6:55 Because inclusion in the kingdom of God and the Body of Christ is not through natural generation, but through supernatural regeneration. Jesus said unless a person is born again from above by the Holy Spirit in their human spirit, they cannot see nor can they enter the kingdom God. Jesus is Lord, but He is not the Father. Jesus is the Son, the Word made flesh. The Holy Spirit is not the Father or the Son but He is in them. How can there be unbelievers? There can be unbelievers because God, in His essential nature, created humans in His image and likeness. God has volition, therefore the people have volition. In the beginning, humans rejected the knowledge of God for the knowledge of good and evil. The result was separation from God. "For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles." "Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. This is a valid description of the world we live in today.
@@thereligionofrationality8257 His creation was "very good" in the beginning. Very good, but innocent, and in need of instruction. In need of learning faith. Thanks for your response.

If God is perfect, then Its creation must be perfect.

@@pastorrandy A creation cannot separate itself from its Creator. That is impossible.
