Ability to change Quote by Jeff Turner
““Allow me to ask a question: if something, in this case, sin, has the power to change God, would it not stand to reason that this “something” must also be a God? And would not this God, by necessity, need to be at least the equal of the God that it was able to change? To take it a step further, if one God has the power to change another God, it would actually stand to reason that, beyond being His equal, the one with the ability to change the other would be the greater of the two. If this be true, then sin would not only be a God (yes, with a capitol “G”), but a God greater than man’s creator!””
