Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil
And how is it evident that God loves us? Jesus Christ. If that isn't good enough (though for a Christian it is more than enough) and we take the view that God DOES exist and that God is GOD. The simple fact that God still sustains US ( the universe in whole and humans in particular) and has not &qu...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil
Rick D. The text says: I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception. In pain thou shalt bring forth children. If he is telling her that she shall bring forth children in pain, that doesnt sound like the pain was already there. It seems pretty clear that he is saying that because you have do...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil
You said it is evident that God stayed with them and loved them and us. How is it evident to you?

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil
In other words when Christ said "Father forgive them for they know not what they do" He was asking his father to pardon them which means to not take action for an offense. Forgiveness means letting a transgression go unpunished. And it would fall on God to decide IF God would forgive them...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil
So what then will prevent us from sinning in heaven? Will we no longer have free will? That my friend is something I do not know. And is something I have often pondered myself. I am presuming that either at that point our freewill is restricted or otherwise through the process of us being transform...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil
So God didnt forgive them because he doesnt change, thats your answer? So are we to follow the same example then. Dont forgive because we dont change. If you wrong me in some way I should not forgive you because I dont change? Hmmm...you'll have to give me biblical references to back up what you're...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil
To keep things simple ( not that theology is ever that simple): The fall was the result of "MAN" ( symbolised by Adam and Eve who quite probably WERE real people, the first of their kind in Eden) wanting to be "like" God and to not "depend" on God, to be independent fr...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil
Lastly, why did God not simply forgive Adam and Eve for their transgression and tell them not to do it again. Because God doesn't change. He said what he said and they got what was coming. God did offer them mercy and a Savior was promised, and came. FL God made the first animal sacrifice ( Genesis...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil
My first question is what exactly was the fall? Its seem in the bible that it was a curse so what exactly did this curse do? The Fall is described in Genesis, chapter 3. Essentially, it is the disobedience of Adam & Eve when they took of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good & evil...
