1 | When evil began? | Rom 5:12 | Morant61 | 65534 | ||
Greetings Zerotheory! The text you quoted actually answers your question. Gen. 3:22 does not say that Adam and Eve became gods. It says that they, like God, had come to know good and evil. That is the only point of comparision made in this verse. It does not say that Adam became all powerful, all present, all knowing, or eternal. It only says that, like God, they had come to know good and evil. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Thanks Tim. [quote from Tim] "The text you quoted actually answers your question. Gen. 3:22 does not say that Adam and Eve became gods. It says that they, like God, had come to know good and evil. That is the only point of comparision made in this verse. It does not say that Adam became all powerful, all present, all knowing, or eternal.

Greetings Zerotheory! I have addressed this question previously, I believe! Yes, I found it. Here is what I wrote: "This is a tough question. My short answer would be this: Evil is not a thing that can be created. Rather, evil is the choice to disobey God's law. Evil is a natural possibility where choices are really available." So, evil did not have to be created, nor did it have to exist prior to creation. It simply was a natural result of the creation of beings with a will. Once the possiblity existed for Adam and Eve to disobey God, evil resulted. I have to run to work now! Chat with you later! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
