Thats right people have free will so evil will always exsist!
Now that we have that cleared up if we have free will then we have the ability to change our future....correct???
But prophecy says otherwise and our fate predetermined so how in the hell do we have free will???
Is it just me or is this just one big contradiction??
Because we DON'T have free will. It is a contradictory statement. You will can't be free of causes. EVERYTHING you do is a result of or caused by external influences. Certainly humans possess the ability to make choices, but that it not a definition of free will. There is only ONE entitity who is free of this limitation of making choices based on external influences and that is God. And, yes, God did create evil. The question you need to ask yourself is why.
now why oh why would the great creator create evil???
And, yes, God did create evil.

Great, here's another one for the looney bin. You do know it's not normal to hear voices in your head right? You should probably be evaluated by a professional.
God Gene
Tweaking the God Gene
The work of Dean Hamer, a geneticist at the National Cancer Institute, raises the prospect of genetically engineered mystics. Hamer claims to have found a gene associated with "self-transcendence" or "spirituality" in a group of 1,000 subjects who filled out surveys that probed their beliefs in God, ESP, and so on. Hamer calls this gene "the spiritual allele" or, even more dramatically, the "God gene"—which is also the title of the popular book in which he describes his research. Francis Collins, director of the Human Genome Project, has called Hamer's claim "wildly overstated." Faith-Boosting Genes - A search for the genetic basis of spirituality

Jehovah of the Pleiades Rutherford, as the above quotes demonstrate, believed that God was confined to a place or location in space. This place was identified as being in the Pleiades star cluster! Specifically it was claimed he probably lived on or near the largest or brightest of the stars in this group, Alcyone. In the August 15, 1925 Golden Age it was stated that the City of Zion in heaven was associated with Alcyone in the Pleiades star group. They probably got this belief from Piazzi Smyth and Joseph Seiss' works on the pyramids.

Good word brother! Sounds like you may have been baptized with Fire as well! Luke 3:16
I do disagree with most Christians on flying out of here before anything bad happens! When the Bible says at the last trump, I believe it means the Seventh Trumpet. Meaning we will be here for the seals and six trumpets, out before the bowls of wrath! When reading the rapture verses compared to the seventh trumpet, there are a lot of similarities. The early Christians were killed and persecuted, why do we think we will escape that?
