And how does that explain why we are getting punished for the mistakes of others? And if adam and eve made a mistake isnt it God fault for not making them good enough?
The corruption is in the genetics. We are in a lineage that includes their corrupted genetics.
God told them that they could eat the fruit of all the trees in the Garden except one. He did this to give them the free choice to do right rather than wrong, to glorify God for His greatness of creating them. The choice they were supposed to make was to NOT eat of that one tree. It was easy... they had all the rest of the trees to eat from.
It would have been to the benefit of Adam and Eve and us all if they had glorified God by obeying Him. He glorifies us, at times, through praise when we do good things. Just think how great His praise would have been of us if we had abstained from eating the fruit through all these thousands of years.
It was our choice, just like abstaining from sex until we are married is our best option today.
Pretty cool story, any proofs besides the bible?
No proofs to be applied to this thread. Now that we have accepted the existence of God, we really need to start other threads to expand on Who He is, and why, etc.
