Subject: the last Adam |
Bible Note: Greetings Lionheart! Is it in God's nature to create anything less than perfect? This is one of those questions that I believe will never be accurately or sufficiently answered before get to heaven. I believe that God created Adam and Eve as they were, but they sinned. I believe that God knew beforehand what they were going to do, but He had a plan. As for His purposes being "right" or "wrong", that is up to God to decide. Do we have a standpoint to pass any kind of judgment on God's creation? (I will go ahead and answer this one as to remove any kind of speculation before it starts:) No, we do not. The fact is that God created man, but man sinned, and man, therefore, was not perfect. Blessings to you, Makarios |
