some thoughts on Sin

The natural man asks: 
why did God create evil if he is omnipotent and if he is a good God at the same time 
Is he then not omnipotent? 
why cant he just forgive ? 

There is evil - true. But just because we dont see reason in evil 
does not mean that God is evil or that he is not omnipotent 

He cannot forgive because he is a good God. And he is a just God. 
So he punishes the wicked. 

Why did he then make men in the first place knowing given the 
fact that he is omniscient. 

Because creation is eschatological and by creating us he has already 
redeemed us by his own blood and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. 

This is to show us his eternal love and sovereign grace. 

How can we be culpable if he is sovereign ? 

We are sinners therefore we sin. 

However, we freely sin and we choose to be Gods on our own every day. 

Therefore we are culpable and fully responsible. And yet it is he chooses. 

For modern man this antinomy will never be grasped 
and it is only the regenerate mind which understands and accept it
