To answer your question about Adam I would say you need to read the book "New Nature" by Renold Showers. In it he explains that Adam was created with a positive disposition(or relationship) with God. However, this relationship was not permenent b/c Adam didn't choose it. Therefore to make his relationship with God permanent, God had to give Adam opportunity to obey God. So God gave Adam a stipulation that he must not eat for the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Adam willingly chose to disobey God and obey Satan putting him in a permanent disfavorable dispostion to God and making him a servant of Satan. B/c Adam was the head of the race and the governor in a sense of the world he put the entire race and the earth itself under Satans control. That is why the bible says: "for by one man sin entererd the world and death through sin" That is also why the bible calles Satan, "the prince of the power of the air" Satan is currently the ruler of this world. That is why He could offer the kingdoms of the world to Jesus at the Temptation in the wilderness. If Adam had not eaten the fruit of the tree, we could infer(although the bible doesn't say it)that he would have been permenatly sealed in hid favorable disposition to God. He would have chosen God as the LORD to follow instead of choosing Satan. Another great book to read that will transform the way you look at history is "What in the World is God doing by Reynold Showers" It will explain so many things like the question you asked. You can buy both of these books a Amazon for really cheap. I would read the latter book first, then the NEW NATURE one I already told you about. Keep Studying! |
