You say that the Golden Rule pre-dates the Bible. But if God created the Universe, then He is the originator of the Golden Rule. By saying that the Golden Rule pre-dates the Bible and Christianity, you imply that God did not create the world, and if God did not create the world, He is a liar because He claims to be the Creator. And God is not God if He is a liar. Therefore, either God is wrong or you are a wrong. If God is wrong, then you have nothing to worry about, because He is non-existent. But if you are wrong, you have much to worry about. And you could be wrong.

BTW, you are correct that men wrote the Bible. When you write a letter, do you write the letter, or does the pen write the letter? Obviously you do, the pen is just the instrument you use.

God used men as instruments to write His "letter" to humanity. They ranged from kings to common fishermen, bu the 66 books of the Bible were all given by inspiration of God. Proof that the Bible is supernatural can be seen with a quick study of its prophecies. You owe it to yourself to inspect the evidence before you make a verdict.

Finally, you say:
"As for your preaching to me, you are basing it all on a book that was created by Christians (man), not by “God”.

I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I have put God's Promises to the test, and found them to hold true. You have not done so, and you cannot argue with my personal experience.

I am knew to this sight,and I was searching through the forums when I came across some of your thoughts on the origin of sin.
I'm not afraid to say that God created evil in some fashion.He did however create free will.Through free will we have choices,and whether right or wrong,they are our choices.In order to be just,God had to give man the free will to make choices,just as a father to a son.A father can steer his son in the right direction, but he must allow his son to make choices for good or for bad,otherwise he is raising a robot.
In the begining God told Adam and Eve that they were welcome to any tree in the Garden of Eden except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.God gave them the choice.
When I was a child I went into a local store and stole a few things.On my way out,I was caught and was held accountable for my actions.Though the oppurtunity was provided,the store was not responsible for my poor choices.There were signs posted saying that stealing is a crime and that they would prosecute offenders.I knew better!

If there is no God,why should I be held responsible for anything I do,for who can tell me what is right from wrong?We would be no better than animals,going about our lives in vain.
