Subject: How did sin originate |
Bible Note: I think I may misread have your reply the first time around. But let me reply that I believe that God in His foreknowledge knew that man using His freedom of choice would fall since God is also omniscient. Both God's foreknowledge and omniscience in this matter in my opinion does not mean God foreordains sin. Rather it is because God is Sovereign and granted His creatures with freedom of choice to either obey or disobey. God told Adam and Eve they may eat of any tree of the garden except one. They freely chose to do the one thing God commanded them not to do. God didn't on one hand tell them not to eat of the forbidden tree and then on the other hand coerce them to eat of the very same tree that He earlier told them not to. He merely foreknew they would. Thats what I get from scripture. I still hold that your ideas on this would mean that God is the author of sin. |
