I keep wondering why did God even create the tree of life in the garden of Eden in the first place if He didn't want man to sin.. Some say its intentional... if it is, why was He so displeased to the extent of placing a curse on them... He created us as man.. not as gods or heavenly creatures.. so of course he was easy and prone to falling for temptation.. so I assumed He knew from the start while creating him, that man would fall by eating the forbidden fruit... so why bother creating it and then cursing man when it is believed He knew he would fall.. (that's the part that makes it look unfair) .. its similar to setting a concealed trap right in front of us.. I'm confused honestly .. contributions are welcome 48 Likes 6 Shares |

The tree of life is different from the tree of knowledge of good n bad. The tree of life was meant to make Adam n Eve to live forever while the the tree of the knowledge of good n bad is to show their obedience to their creator as the one with the right to rule. The tree is not the only one in the garden. There were many variety of trees good for food in the garden, so it was easy for them to have obeyed the law of their creator. The creator only want them to decide whether they want to obey Him n live or disobey n die. 65 Likes 2 Shares |

johnydon22:the ways of God cannot be comprehended by mere mortals. acfording to the bible: -God deliberately hardened Pharaoh's heart so that he would not listen to Moses -God put lying tongues in the mouth of fake prophets -God destined Judas to betray Jesus.... in each of these three it would be wise to assume that they were all doing according to God's will... whether or not they r guilty should not be a subject of matter for us. thats why I said some questions are better left unanswered! 55 Likes 4 Shares |

That Thing dey confuse me too,
E just dey like say, God dig hole for all of us to fall inside,
Each man suppose carry him own cross nah,
Why should we all be suffering for what Adam did in the garden of Eden?,
Why should all mankind be suffering because of One Man's disobedience?, 15 Likes 1 Share |

booqee:Create this scenarios in your mind's eyes. Am your Mum, sovery rich. Everything you want you can get, I have a mansion which you live in it with me. One day i call you into a room empty, I mean nothing to eat in it, and then I give you an instruction saying, "Am going out my son, see that you touch nothing in this room till I return. Remember, it's an empty room, and am telling you not to touch anything. What's is there to touch? Again, I am your parent, am very wealthy. You of course is my child, and so lives in my mansion full of everything. But I call you and instructs you and say "Son, you can make use of everything in the freezer, every thing, only just this "wheat Bread", pls don't touch it", and I went out. I left everything to your disposal, no restrains. There's assorted of everything. All kinds of breads, eat your fill, but don't touch the Wheat Bread. But you left every other thing you are free to touch and eat, but went to the only one I instructed you don't touch. In your head or mind's eye, what do you see? Let me help you. God Wanted to teach Adam Obidience and control. In the first scenario, the room was empty, so Adam would of course have nothing to touch. If he touched nothing, because there was nothing to touch, would you call that Obidience? Will he be exercising any control? No. The second scenario. Every thing but ONE is given to you. BUT you are instructed, leave the Wheat Bread alone. But u left the flour bread or corn bread and went for the wheat bread. Would you say Adam did well? Can you obey instructions without control? No. If you love me, you will respect me, if you respect me, you will obey me. Finish. When you ask questions first think. 158 Likes 17 Shares |

Read the full story here  - God Knows Everything. - God created the Universe. - God knew what would happen if Adam ate from the tree. - God didn't plant the tree on Mars or Jupiter. - He put the tree, in the same garden, with Adam.. See setup.  @op there are many African myths to believe that make more sense than that of the Israeli's... who dont even care about most of this nonsense y'all bother your minds with. There was no tree. Your ancestors weren't Adam and Eve. You won't put a knife near a baby, then blame the baby for playing with the knife. A responsible God would have built a huge Trump size wall around that motherfucking tree. But, it's Yahweh. He just like fucking human beings up. Like his twin brother Allah who is trying desperately to catch up with his killer numbers.. 36 Likes 5 Shares |

hungryboy:No dear, God didn't dig a hole for us to fall into. The sin of Adam is still seen in us individually today. CHOICE. The choices we are making today. Are those choices in line with what God instructed? We should not always look at the finished product of a thing, look at the process sometimes. Let me ask you, would u have liked if you were created a robot? Do as u r programmed. No questions asked? But God needed a family, a relationship. He couldn't have a relationship with Robots, that's why u are human with the power to choose. But most of us, just like Adam chose to be God to ourselves. There's the issue of choice, Obidience and control. Have you asked yourself the origin of atheism? Adam originated atheism. He wanted to be God for himself. So pls... 12 Likes 4 Shares |

I asked my aunty this question when I was young and she told me that God made it clear to them that they must not eat from the tree of good and evil... and that by so doing he gave man "will" to choose to do that which is good or bad, obedience or disobedience. It goes to show that God did not create slaves because he gave us "freewill" 17 Likes 1 Share |

@Op. The bible says, God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth (Genesis 1:27-28 KJV). And then here God commanded the man saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: "But of the three of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die" (Genesis 2:16-17). God gave man everything, and wanted something back in return. Let me break this down. God put the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden to give Adam and Eve a choice to obey Him or disobey Him. Adam and Eve were free to do anything they wanted, except eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. If God had not given Adam and Eve the choice, they would have essentially been robots, simply doing what they were programmed to do. God created Adam and Eve to be free beings, able to make decisions, able to choose between good and evil. In order for Adam and Eve to truly be free, they had to have a choice. Hear this, the bible let us to know that God is omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent. With all this power, knowledge and versatility that God posseses. He cannot control you or alter your freewill. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil was a. symbol. God said, "if ye love me, keep my commandments" (John 14:15). That tree was the only way God could get love back from the man He loved and gave everything. 16 Likes 3 Shares |

booqee:Well, knowledge of good and evil was part of God's all knowing persona. He did warn them of the consequences, so the decision to gain Knowledge of evil by the two was well informed. And God's mercies reach the evil too. 1 Like |

Satan rebelled in heaven, didn't he? Man needed to earn everlasting life through a test of obedience, hence, the command not to touch the fruit of the tree. Apparently, man disobeyed.  |

Because jehovah is a wicked being who is looking for reasons to punish man and not blame himself...that is why he came down to earth to claim that he died for our sins out of his love for us only to wake up in three days,return back to heaven and claim he can now punish man in ethernal fire if we refuse to believe he died for our sins.....he gives us no evidence and punish us for saying it us a lie....he is worst than the devil and i will march out against him on armagadon carrying the black flag of lucifer...we will finally defeat him and lock him up in the bottomless pit which he created for his beloved creation...we almost did it during the tym.of the fallen angels and later when we where lead by the prince of persia to defeat all his angels and prevent daniels prayer from reaching God and we will succeed this tym around and end his reign of tyranny.. 13 Likes 3 Shares |
