Spirit247:
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.

OK.. Thanks

AntiChristian:
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?

That's called the power of choice. Human beings are not robots but given the power to choose whom they will serve. God doesn't force his will on his created being but show them the consequences of their actions.
NIV:This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live
20
NIV:and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob... Deuteronomy 30:19-20

3. Why should he have done that when the law clearly states that Adam would die if he disobeyed - Genesis 3 vs 15 - 17 and Adam by his choice accepted the consequence of his action? undecided

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).


Na wa o. Were you there? And after creating an imperfect being, which you never asked for, and serving time on earth trying not to sin, some of you will eventually end up in hellfire, where you will burn forever and forever. Guy, be calming down with this Christianity nonsense.

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.

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.


So, sending someone to eternal damnation for a lifetime of sin is just?

You have all forgotten that Adam and Eve did not even know good from evil until they ate of that tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

We say test but more like a choice... choose to follow me or go it alone. God didn't create man to be a robot so God allowed man to make his own choices, and so man chose to go it alone rather than have God hold his hands. And God granted man his wish. undecided

But, nowhere in that statement is it implied that man did not know good before that point in time. Recall that when man was made, he was declared "good" by God meaning man at least had some basic knowledge/awareness of good to work with. undecided

So, one cannot make choices except between GOOD and EVIL?

There were varieties in Eden. Man could avail his freedom of choice without having to choose between good and evil.

Why did evil even exist in the first place?
