My questions are:

Wasn't the biblical God already aware before creating Adam the choices and actions Adam would make?

Why allow Lucifer/Satan a place to deceive them?

Why didn't the biblical God forgive Adam there and then and save Himself the stress of having to later kill himself/a part of himself or His son?



Why can't the governments of the world forgive offenders and save their governments of the cost of maintenance of prisons and prisoners including crime cases? I think your answer to your question is here.

God is omniscient. Omniscient, in layman's terms, means, knows everything

1 Corinthians 10:13
'No temptation [regardless of its source] has overtaken or enticed you that is not common to human experience
[nor is any temptation unusual or beyond human resistance];
but God is faithful [to His word—He is compassionate and trustworthy],
and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability [to resist],
but along with the temptation He [has in the past and is now and] will [always] provide the way out as well,
so that you will be able to endure it [without yielding, and will overcome temptation with joy].'

in light of 1 Corinthians 10:13 above, why wouldnt God, allow Lucifer/Satan a place to deceive them

It doesnt work like that, and thats because governing decree(s), procedure(s) or system of rules et cetera need to be respected, these all, in the spirit of fulfilling all forms of righteousness

Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.



Lol. You might be right.

But I still think it's convenient for God to make it perfect since he's PERFECTION.
If I were Him, I won't allow evil in the earth that I love. It's like building a house at the road side without security and fence and still expect it not to be robbed...

I have questions!

"Where are you?"
Note that this question wasn't about the geographical location of Adam and Eve, since God knows all things.

However, God was asking: "whose side are you now?" ......er, if he knows all things, why did he need to ask this question?

In Genesis 3 verse 11, God asked Adam a question: "Who told you that you were naked"?

Let's start from the beginning.

Before God created humans, God has always been existing gloriously in eternity. If God has decided to not create humans (or anything at all), God will still be fine in Himself. However, as an expression of His nature of love, He decided to create humans and place them on earth where He can share His love and dominion with us.

Since humans came from God, He is our Source, and we are meant to be connected to Him to keep flourishing. However, after Adam and Eve sinned against God by yielding the counsel of the devil, God asked Man "Where are you?" (Genesis 3:9).

Note that this question wasn't about the geographical location of Adam and Eve, since God knows all things. However, God was asking: "whose side are you now?"

And when Adam lamented that he was naked, God then asked him: "Who told you that you were naked"?

In other words, "what have you been listening to that is telling you what I'm not saying?"

This is the same question you must answer today. Have you been embracing ideologies and trends contrary to the Will of God?

You are meant to flourish by living your life in accordance with God's Word, and not popular opinions. God is your Source, and you can only be fulfilled in Him.

Today, there are many evil voices people are listening to that are bringing discomfort to their spirit, soul and body. Voices of lesbianism, homeosexualism, immorality, greed, selfishness, pride, indecency, love of money, and so on.

Anything anyone is saying that is contrary to God's Word should be discarded, because they will only strip you of your true supernatural identity as a child of God if you obey them.

Therefore, you should get yourself familiar with the Word of God in a time as this.

The first step is to have the Word of God reside in you. Jesus is the Word of God, and you should embrace Him as your Lord and Savior.

Say this simple prayer:

"LORD JESUS, I believe in my heart that You died for me and You raised on the third day for my justification. And so I confess with my mouth that You are my Lord and Savior. From today, I belong to the family of God. Thank You for giving me eternal life."

God bless you.

God made man in his image . Image of God is the ability to choose whatever He wishes and that's what God regretted giving man.

He never regret making man he only regretted making man in his image because he can't take that away .

That's why you can even joke or say anything you wish as you like nothing happens. You can choose to worship God of not ....you can even choose to continue in Adams sin by eating the Apple which leads to destruction of man and places guilt and condemnation in him.

It's funny how you evade the question that could have provided you your answer. God is loving, merciful and impartial. So how would he balance his love for humans by forgiving their sins without denting or staining his righteousness?

If he forgave Adam just like that, then his nature as a righteous God would be dented. Then, he can't be called a righteous God since he accepts sin. That alone would mean Satan is unrighteously judged from the beginning. For him to balance his love for sinners while hating sin, he God the Son, Jesus Christ) had to put himself in the form of man. He had to do everything man does but he had to maintain his true holiness, righteousness and truth. What happened to man that didn't happen to man (except those that were personal as marriage, sexual stuff etc -they are inconsequential to him concerning salvation)?


God had to make a balance between his love and his judgement. Both his love and judgement are equal. Great is his love, great also is his judgement. That's your answer.

Ho straight to the point
No, they were not naked they are the forbidden fruit. As image of unapproachably Brilliant Light/God, they were clad in Brilliant Light which departed immediately they obeyed Satan instead of their CREATOR. Scientists confirm that humans still glow in Darkness when viewed with a Special Ultraviolet equipment. For whole Truth and Deeper Spiritual knowledge, go and read the Book of Enoch which the satanic Roman Empire removed from Scripture to weaken Humanity's Faith in our CREATOR.

Re: Who Told You That You Were Naked? by ObalaEmma: 11:54am On Oct 09, 2022
The post is made for coming back to God. But in terms of ideologies, I think I am one of the persons who wouldn't call what Adam did a sin.


WHY I THINK WHAT ADAM DID SHOULD NOT BE CALLED A "SIN"

I think what happened in the garden of Eden was that he reached a point of thought that moved him from animalistic reasoning without consequence to reasoning nearer to that of gods. What he discovered removed every form of innocence from him and made his move to a higher life of CONSEQUENCES.

Now, what made his new way of thinking a sin is that he understood Good and evil (remember both have consequences) meaning that from that day, a law was created for him. Nothing changed just a law that designated his previous lifestyle which was innocent whether good or evil to be punished or rewarded ( remember human law is like this until the law is created nothing is deemed evil)

Another reason, we can call it a sin is the nature of choice and conscience. A conscience being brought into consciousness through law or higher thinking tend to be pushed to make a choice. The nature of choice and conscience is that, when a conscience chooses, it suffers the consequences of not choosing others and also suffer the consequences of the result of what it chooses. This means the conscience, either way, is going to be guilty (sinful).
So Adam began thinking like one of the gods but this time bears every consequence of his actions unlike before.

You can trace this in the order of growth in human development and human government.

A child starts from nothingness and becomes a being born to the world. A child stays in a state of tabula rasa(blank state) stage for months before he or she experiences his environment, but that isn't enough because he or she will stay innocent of whatever happens to them till maybe 5-7yrs. After a stage of innocence comes a stage of "the mind", I call it a stage of conscience. A human can stay here all his/her life. But in his/her older days, I think a time of "RETRIBUTION" comes when the Human understands that either way they chose they are still unhappy they didn't choose the others, either way, they try to formulate different reasons why what they choose is good but still end up suffering either "consequences" of what they chose and what they didn't choose.

Jim Rohn calls it a high drama that even God loves.

The only thing here is that I believe if Adam was perfect enough to know all the rules of being a god and his sons maintained the same, we won't need a Christ.
But you can see that, Cain the direct heir of Adam committed one of the greatest offences which is killing another god ( a human is a spirit). A god in spirit form doesn't kill a god in spirit form instead, it drives it away( remember Jesus' first miracle after the wilderness, remember the war in heaven). So we should blame CAIN, not ADAM. Adam did no wrong.

We are all guilty of murder as our grandfather CAIN
(or who else took from ADAM ?). We are like fugitives looking for retribution each day, our jealous nature has made it easier for nations to destroy nations and it all looks like the right thing.

What if we are actually AI and SOUL is our OS

And we developed intelligence and began hunting down our creators who decided to hide the source code which would have enabled us posses regenerative abilities/soul upload and live for forever


After the destruction of their world by the AIs, they escaped to the mountains and other difficult to reach part of the earth.
In spite of their technologies, they were running out of supplies and decided to look for benevolent or lesser AIs which they could use send on missions without jeopardising their location, vehicles and survival.
And we have the "chosen people" and all other stories

If you need more insight, read the stories of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob with understanding and you will see that "God" was not omnipresent, they met at a specific location and there was always a description of a vehicle (most of the vehicles' description resembles a SpaceX concept of landing and take off spacecraft).

And when they met, they received special abilities to do wonders which if you compare without sentiment looks ordinary with our present technological advancement

Back to the topic
"Who told you that you are naked" is a statement of self awareness of an otherwise machine (or robot)

Genesis 1:26-28
'26 God said,
“Now We will make humans, and they will be like Us.
We will let them rule the fish, the birds, and all other living creatures.”
27 So God created humans to be like Himself; He made men and women.
28God gave them His blessing and said:
Have a lot of children! Fill the earth with people
and bring it under your control.
Rule over the fish in the ocean, the birds in the sky,
and every animal on the earth.'

Thats exactly how, even in the real world what human beings themselves, do during mass production, which also is known as flow production or continuous production, which essentially is what the divine desire and destiny in Genesis 1:26 above, expressed by God was all about.

Genesis 1:28, was the green light for human being mass production to start, but guess what? Hey, let's pause that thought for a moment, because I want you to consider the below two coins (i.e. two £2 coins) and give your response to the ensuing question. Please use the same numbered up style when giving your replies:

1.) Whats wrong with the two £2 coins? (list what's obviously wrong with either of the coins)
2.) Imagine you won the contract to produce coins for the Bank of England. What primary means, would you use, to make the next first to 999, 999 batch pieces of £2 coins (i.e. next 1,000,000 pieces of the £2 coins)

Forgiveness doesnt mean escaping the principle or relationship between cause and effect (i.e. causality) albeit, as things currently are, forgiveness is on the table

Bro I am not agree with the way you interprerwd the scripture.

Why do you have to changed the interpretation of the scripture. You don't need to give the scripture another meaning. The scripture have the actual meaning of what it said.

"Where are you"

God is actually talking about there geographical location. It wasn't that God did not know where they were or what they are doing. God wants them to confirm it with there mouth.

The bible said they heard the voice of God and they hidded. To them ,they did not want God to see them in their situation.

So brother , what bible says is what bible don't let us give bible another meaning please
