God respected his word like he always does
This isn’t an argument it’s just pointing out what happened lol this is Gods Will for mankind
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
So 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.
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.”
Genesis 1:26, 31 KJV
it seems simple God includes mankind in his Will from the beginning by the design of it and gives him freedom and a warning
“And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
but of the tree 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 2:15-17 KJV
Satan comes along and deceives them with the lie
“And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, ( god told them it was certain death and not to eat it ) and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise,( god didn’t tell them this part Satan did )
she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. ( transgression of Gods commandment and Will )
And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, ( why is Godnpoacing the blame on him for his deed ? ) thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; ( again why is God blaming Adam as if it’s something he did and not something Gods done ?) in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
……therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.”
Genesis 3:4-6, 14-17, 23-24
remember God just placed him there to work and keep the garden and warned him now after satans deception and thier actions he’s throwing them out and closing the door with a flaming sword so they can get to the tree of life anymore
it’s hard to think God is double minded like that he tells them don’t eat the fruit you’ll die but that’s really
Not his Will his Will is that they eat the fruit become wicked to the core eventually after ten generetions and then he destroys them all but 8 . I think we should consider more of what happened in the beginning , middle. And end of scripture it helps
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.”
Hebrews 13:8 KJV
“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing:
therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:”
Deuteronomy 30:19
I believe God presents the same to us all in the gospel and same choice
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
