Bible Question:
I read in Gen. 1:31 "And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, [it was] very good." Everything God created was very good. There was nothing bad about anything He created. I believe that! I also believe God created Lucifer and God didn't create Lucifer into a sinner. However the the first sin is attributed to Lucifer. So what EXACTLY caused Lucifer to commit the first sin, who later tempted Adam and Eve to sin, since we know that God is not the originator of sin and does not tempt anyone? How did the temptation of Lucifer come about or originate? James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: |
Bible Answer: This is another mystery. My explanation is that when God created Adam and Eve, to be the first parents of this world. He also created other creatures. God Knows the degree of badness in all of us. so he had a body reserve for the evil one, to test the loyalty of Adam and Eve. The Kingdom of God is a Kingdom of righteousness where not one drop of evil is found. Like a fruit that has no decay. But the serpent that was the first creature out of hell(not paradise) was completly evil. Adam and Eve were to be the parents of the souls that God was going to give the crown of life to. They had gone through punishment, but God was ready to open his book of life and reward them accordingly. He did not want to start a world of evil again. So the world could continue forever. In the middle of the Garden was the tree of Good and bad. Probably another creature that God created. The souls that God gave Adam and Eve were good and righteous. So had they listen to God we would all be living in a world without end. But the creature called Satan deceived Eve. And she ate the forbidden fruit. And that is how bad enter the world again and the process of decay started. If Eve ate the forbidding fruit. Then Cain is 50 precent bad on his father side. And 100 precent good on his mother side. And that is why God never gave up on sinners. I dont think Cain drowned in the flood. He might have been one of Noahs son. God will judge him at the end of time along with the rest of us. |
