lookingfly:No one can make you believe anything. The facts will be stated before you, the choice to believe is solely yours. What is Atheism. Atheism is refusing to believe there's a supreme being. Or the unbelieve in the supernatural, hence; the believe in one's self. Adam started the believe in self. Rejected God's rule over him. |

LastSurvivor:I know God is not a mother. It's an allusion. i used a mother son relationship to create imagery. My dear, Bottom line is, Adam fell. But there's a way out nah. Why are we still stock in this Adams fall instead of taking the way out and move on? |

themosthigh: Psalms 2:1-4 1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, 3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. 4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. God loves you, He"ll save your soul from the power of the grave an deliver you from the grip of hell. you are alive cos he wants you to be and he will use you. Give your life to God |

booqee: Unfortunately, there is no good answer to this puzzle. There are and always be arguments for and against Adam because of the orientation of various beliefs. Adam had a choice, yes. He chose to accept what the serpent said as true and went ahead to eat the fruit he was warned not to eat. The consequences therefore were a direct result of the disobedience exhibited there, according to the story. But, no argument has been made to the effect that, If God has always been presented as All Merciful and Loving, wouldn't forgiving Adam (and Eve) been the merciful and loving thing to do there and then? No apologetic really wants to write that the serpent was right (God DID confirm what the serpent said was true). They focus on the fact of the 'you shall not surely die'. Well, inasmuch as everyone says Adam had a choice to not accept the serpent's words, God did have a choice NOT to punish Adam. The choice was not exercised, instead the punishment was upheld. Note that the enactment of the punishment was banishing them away from the tree of life, from which they would have eaten what could make them immortal (hence, proving what the serpent said to be true. Eating the tree of knowledge would have led to eating of the tree of life and hence, no death). So the question really is about the choice you make, who you are really. Your true self is revealed when you don't have anyone to answer to. Adam must have wondered what that power would have felt like, being like God, knowing good from evil. For some reason, God put the knowledge within reach but told Adam not to find out. When we get to heaven or somehow have access to God the way Abraham once did, I intend to ask Him why He chose to watch his beloved creation succumb to the very thing we as Christians are striving to be - to be like Christ (who is God). The above didn't answer your question, did it? |

Good and Bad and you deliberately chose Bad. God did not force you. You chose Bad because you were greedy, corrupt, insatiable, disobedient, inferior and thought you would come back for the Good as well. God is good. He seized the Good for Himself and from that time onward, He wanted you to always approach Him for the Good. God was still in process of making us as perfect as Himself when we overreached ourselves. God is Knowledge, He did not want us to reach for evil. Infact, He warned us. He was about to perfect us when we fell short of His expectation. We are in wherever we are today owing to our separateness from God, which is selfishness of choice from the Right Hand of God and from Righteousness. |

analice107:You can use as much allusion as you like, as long as you answer the question posited. It's not even a challenging question but I even know the answer more than you the supposed Christian Lol. Maybe you should join me OP said, in His omniscience He knew we lack self control, why did He still put the damned bread in the fridge? Simple question. Why was the bread not given the house help or the house rats or even thrown in the garbage? Where's kingebukasblog 1 Like |

OgundeleT: What can I say to you wise one, but this? 1Corinthians 1:25 The foolishness of God is wiser than men's, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's. Chapter 2:14 But the natural, nonspiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations of the Spirit of God, for they are folly (meaningless nonsense) to him; and he is incapable of knowing them [of progressively recognizing, understanding, and becoming better acquainted with them] because they are spiritually discerned and estimated and appreciated. SO, WISE ONE. this is where I sign off on you. Wait!!!. Before I go. Just know this anyways. You will still stand judgement before this my very foolish God someday soon. And, you don't need to believe it. But you will. |

Nmeri17:OK sir. Yahweh is the sovereign God, he chose to put the bread in the fridge. Now, now, listen before you run away with yourself. Calm down. How many years have you lived on earth. 25? 30 maybe? Very soon you will die, when you get there, sit on your throne and Summon God, demand an explanation to all this His stupidity. Am quite certain He will explain Himself to your Majesty. |

Michael820:Good question. Trying to know this things will help us to understand God better. It is a real predicament if people try to understand scriptures only literally. Let us examine what the scripture says. And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good (Genesis 1:31 KJV). From the beginning man knew what was good, he was in goodness. He was created wonderfully, with a fully functional brain, and the ability to make choices. Adam and eve already knew, interlectually the difference between good and evil. God said, i made you like me, to function like me Genesis 1:26. Speaking to an intelligent being, God said; Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat. Take everything, i give them to you. But of the tree of 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 KJV). The correlation between the knowledge of good and evil is the case study here. Man knew what was good already, the natural choice of something would be the knowledge of evil. If you eat this fruit you will know evil, it will take you outside the parameters which i designed for you. You will not only know evil, you will experience it. If you don't, you will know good continuously. The choice is yours to make. |

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Its high time we admit that we are not wise as we see ourselves. Trying to apply mortal thoughts to spiritual things just breeds more confusion. We have not even unravel the mystery behind the human body and yet we think we can unravel the mystery of creation. |

tete7000:My standpoint is a result of education & critical thinking. Both enemies of religion, and for obvious reasons. The only way a person can believe these fables is if they have suspended all rational thought, lack basic understandings of the human mind, and/or have been brainwashed via fear of hellfire & eternal damnation. Ignorant 1st century men wrote these stories and that's exactly why they make no sense. For someone to point that out is not mere "belief because it suits them". It's the clear result of critical thinking. I don't see why any person would refuse to apply a critical eye to the beliefs they are choosing to dedicate their entire lives to. Do you even care if what you believe is true? Or have you already invested so much emotion that it's accuracy takes a backseat to the emotional comfort it grants you? |
