Bible Question: If God says His work is perfect, that means Adam and Eve were created perfect. Why then did two perfect creatures choose to sin? It seems to me that they had to have been grossly defective to be capable of choosing to disobey God. How could two perfect beings not know the horrendous blunder they were about to make? |
Bible Answer: Dear Pukalanian, I think your answer is rooted in your phrase "it seems to me." Furthermore, I do not recall that God declared them perfect, but rather He declared His work of creation good -- and we could talk a lot about what perfect and good might mean in this context. Be that as it may... We know that Eve was disceived into the sin and we know that Adam freely chose the sin. Therefore we must conclude that God created them with these specific characteristics fully according to His eternal purpose. In Him, Doc |
