Subject: Adam and Eve Perfect or Flawed |
Bible Note: Hello Immanuelsown, As Hank said, you are grasping at things of no consequence. Why bother? To answer your 5 questions though: 1. Nobody knows. 2. Because they were obedient. 3. Because Eve was tempted (Gen 3:1-7; 1 Tim 2:14). 4. Adam and Eve were innocent. We are not. 5. They were not created perfect. They were created sinless. You assume that there was lust in Adam and Eve before the fall. For that to be the case, God could not have called his creation very good upon its completion. Lust was generated by an outside source (the serpent) and not by any natural longing. Also, lust cannot be what brought sin into the world, because the commend was to not eat of the tree. Only the actual act, not the feelings or appetites, was forbidden. Steve |
