1 | God's motives concerning Adam/Eve | Genesis | chynna | 39578 | ||
Why did God create man on earth, when he cast satan and his followers here first? And why did God place the tree of good and evil in the garden, knowing that satan would see an opportunity to challenge God through Adam and Eve? Do you think God knew Adam and Eve were eventually going to eat from that tree and that was His plan all along? | ||||||
2 | God's motives concerning Adam/Eve | Genesis | srbaegon | 39579 | ||
Hello chynna You are assuming that Satan and his followers were cast down first. I think his downfall came after creation (Ezek 28:12-13). But more to your point, I can condense your questions to one: Why did God do all these things, if He knew what was going to happen? The best answer I can give is that He did it to demonstrate the greatness of who He is and to glorify Himself in it. Would we ever know the extent of God's grace or mercy or patience or love or (fill in the blank) if sin had not entered the world? I don't see how. It's a wonderful mystery to me. Steve |
