Your Interpretations of unique Christian Beliefs

Did God create us..

In Romans 8:20 NIV it says "For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay". Is the above saying it was Gods plan to subject us to frustration?

In Genesis, God separated knowledge from Adam & Eve but placed it in their grasp. Eve also confesses that Lucifer decieved her. Did God create them nieve so that they can be subjected to frustration?

In Galatians 5 it says "The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy, drunkenness, orgies, and the like.. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. **Against such things there is no law."

Does the above indicate your ability to do what you want (freedom) is based on what spirits you keep?

In history and current day, we find people which want to use you, lie to you, steal from you, molest you, hurt and even kill you. Be it anger, lust, or they just don't care about the suffering they inflict they will agree with you until your guard is down. They get into our government, our work, our school, our religion, and sometimes our family. Some live in jail, prisions, and wards for the mentally insame. Can "everyone" be changed? Does "everyone" deserve fairness & compassion?
