Have you read Ezekiel 18?
Adam and Eve were not given just one rule. they had to follow the same spiritual rules we have today. the only difference is they lived in the garden of Eden and we live in this corrupt world.
the concept of original sin is confusing and I'm not sure if I get all the fine details either.
Perhaps we should examine scriptures about it?
This is the curse of mankind:
Genesis 3
17 Then to Adam He said, “Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’:
“Cursed is the ground for your sake;
In toil you shall eat of it
All the days of your life.
18 Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you,
And you shall eat the herb of the field.
19 In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread
Till you return to the ground,
For out of it you were taken;
For dust you are,
And to dust you shall return.”
20 And Adam called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.
21 Also for Adam and his wife the Lord God made tunics of skin, and clothed them.
22 Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever”— 23 therefore the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken. 24 So He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.
however God promises a Messiah even here in verse 15 when it speaks of the SEED of Eve who will bruise the head of the serpent:
And between your seed and her Seed;
He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.”
now the question is why are we not given the same opportunity as Adam and Eve?
God is using lowly humans to put to shame those who have rebelled against Him, spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Have you not read that a third of the angels rebelled and joined Satan and were cast down by Jesus when He ascended after His was cruxified and rose from the dead?
Ephesians 3:9-11
New King James Version (NKJV)
9 and to make all see what is the fellowship[a] of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ; 10 to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places, 11 according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord,
Ephesians 6:11-13
New King James Version (NKJV)
11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,[a] against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Selena there is more to the world than people typically speak upon. God reveals to us through the Bible what is really going on. We must pray and put on the armor of God and trust in Him.
here's a quick cklist:
helmet of salvation
Breastplate of righteousness (Jesus propiation not of your own works)
belt of Truth
Sword of the Spirit (which is the Word of God)
shoes with the preparation of the Gospel of peace
Shield of Faith
we stand and resist the arrows and darts the enemy tries and make us believe. for we are made clean by Christ's atoning work. we are cleansed and kept by His Holy Spirit.
Why do we speak of unfairness?
If God was fair, we would all be lost for we have all sinned and transgressed against the laws of God. I thank God daily for His mercy and grace. That His love overcomes all that is in this world and gives us Hope in the promises He has made to us of the world to come.
Colossians 2:13-15
New King James Version (NKJV)
13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
