Why Didn't Jesus Die For Adam And Eve? by LordReed(m): 11:12am On Sep 14, 2019
I often hear the sentiment expressed by Christians that if they were the only ones it the world Jesus would still have die for them. Let's ignore the logistics of that possibility and focus on the story of the supposedly first couple, introducers of sin and death, Adam and Eve.

At the susposed time of their dastardly deeds they were the only ones in the world if the tale is to be believed so the question is why didn't Jesus die for them then? Won't it have been better strategically? It certainly would have saved Yahweh the need wipe out thousands of people with a global flood. Why was this the case?

The same reason most tv series do not end at season 1 episode 1. The producers have to twist and elongate the stories so as to get many viewers and make more cash. How will it feel if we only have Genesis? grin grin grin

Why did He need to die for them then? Is there some law that demands that the Lord Jesus must die for people at the time of their sin?

How would the Death of the Lord Jesus at that time have prevented the Flood of Noah's day? The Tribulation is still scheduled even though the Lord Jesus died and rose two thousand years ago. His Death, in fact, guaranteed the Tribulation. Why then do you suppose that His Death would have prevented the Flood?

Haba. He only asked a question, does it warrant all these? And you didn't even answer the question. Try to approach every question about the faith with maturity even if these questions come from atheists or mockers. We'll win them through love and wisdom.

Adam and Eve wouldn't have known the gravity of their sin, if Christ had died instantly for them.

There was no need to Die for Adam and Eve because they are The Reason JESUS CHRIST had to die..

In other words, if Adam and Eve didn't yield the Serpent , which altered the order of Mankind, there will be no Reason for JESUS CHRIST to Die
Re: Why Didn't Jesus Die For Adam And Eve? by dermmy(m): 3:31pm On Sep 14, 2019
The fall of man corrupted the divine nature of GOD in man. Even if christ had come to die immediately they wouldn't have known the consequences of sin, even thousands of years after christ died many still fall into sin even christians who claim to have given their lives to christ.

GOD had told them if they eat the forbidden fruit they would die but they ate and that death was the result of their actions. GOD is a planner, HE only understands his ways and plans. Infact GOD started to forge a new plan for mankind after the fall of Adam and Eve but for that plan to come to fruition the human race must understand the consequences of sin and GOD's thought and bitterness against sin.

If man must understand his maker, if he must have a communion with his maker again he must understand the nature of his maker. That was why GOD had to demonstrate his power among the people of old by giving them his laws and letting them know his position about sin not only sin but his love also.

But when the plan of GOD was ripe he sent JESUS at the appointed time to restore man back to his fallen state by adopting man as his own.

"Just as he choose us in him before the foundation of the world that we should be holy and without blame before him in love" Eph 1:4

The road to redemption was so long because man had to understand what sin is, how it marrs GOD'S nature and to know the Love of GOD, the love he demonstrated among the the people of old whenever they confess their sins and make their ways right before GOD.

Then why didnt he die for their children? Certainly the logistics will have been easier. Have one of Eve's children give birth to Jesus since there were very few people in the world at that time and have them be saved by him.

What was the point of waiting thousands of years and drowning and killing countless people before enacting the grand plan? For a god you claim is benevolent and all-knowing, surely you can see this isn't a good look.

The first error in understanding here is the assumption that "Jesus died for them", making it sound like Jesus was one day walking along minding his own business, saw them and just fell down dead for them, when the truth is they actually stood there screaming "Crucify him! Crucify him", and only much latter realised the errors of their ways - or not, actually, since many still think the dying of Christ is of greater importance than all his teachings during his life!

It will be a very difficult doctrine to change, but reasoning people will eventually conclude that Jesus lived to teach a better way of living but the stupid people nailed him to a cross and stupid unthinking people today celebrate killing hiim and not his living, essentially crucifying and renailing him to a cross!

It certainly would have saved Yahweh the need wipe out thousands of people with a global flood. Why was this the case?
No it wouldn't. And I say this despite the flood itself being mythical! You might as well claim people should have learnt the errors of their ways from the "flood" and thereby eliminate the need for Teacher Jesus. As you can clearly see my Lord, despite Jesus, we still have not learned to love one another.

I guess your misunderstanding stems from your "introducers of sin and death, Adam and Eve". Paul tried explaining how the Law teaches about Sin, but I doubt the Roman's had a clue what he meant, as neither do you, it would seem.

The sin of Adam Altered GOD' plan for Man.
Everyone have Adam as our Fore Father.

And We Were headed Destruction because of our Fire parents..

But GOD ALMIGHTY Loved us so Much that He hath to Send HIS own Son as the Sacrifice for us ..

What you should do is to Thank GOD for Sending HIS son to die for us..

If JESUS didn't die, You and I will be on Freeway to Hell because we are a product of Sin( Adam and Eve).

Accept JESUS AS YOUR LORD and Savior so you will be Saved!

How can a man's action alter God's plan? isn't God omniscient and omnipotent? How then can what Adam did change God's plan? So Jesus story was an afterthought. I thought he was the original plan.

Mr man answer his question.
How was God's plan altered since he knew right from the onset that Adam and Eve would sin.
Since God knows the future, why didn't he just prevent Adam and Eve from sinning against him?
Why did he let them sin against him if he knew they would?

Okay...
Are you admitting that God knew beforehand that Adam and Eve would sin against him and did nothing to prevent that from happening?
Give me a straight forward answer without trying to give me some fvcking sermon.
