Bible Question: Would Adam and Eve have fallen on their own if the devil had never entered the garden? |
Bible Answer: Hello, Vincent - Interesting question, but calls for speculation. This is one of those "what if" kinds of questions that tickle our fancies but don't do much else. "What if" Noah's ark had sprung a leak at the height of the massive storm? "What if" TV had existed in Apostolic times, would the Apostle Paul have appeared on Meet the Press? See what I'm driving at? Such questions are interesting. But don't teach us much about Scripture, do they? --Hank |
