No, no, and no. Dont act like you know whats true or not. Dont act like you know that god is the ultimate author of anything or even existent. Claiming to know is a typical delusion religious people all share with each other.
I absolutely did not want to ask anything about a Tree or Eden. I dont even consider those things. I ask why you dont realize how nothing in the bible makes sense from the perspective of an omnipotent being.
Its all written by humans with humans in mind. Nothing is thought through everything contradicts everything, the bible doesnt even work as a proper fairy tale let alone a summary of supposedly real events.
If god would have let Adam and Eve choose, its not a real Choice because God KNOWS what they choose before they choose.
Btw. a perfect god wouldnt need a saviour for his creation if he made this creation properly to begin with. If he always had Jesus as a saviour in mind, he knew his creation would need a saviour which means he made them knowing how faulty their were.
Its so funny how you always go back to the free will thing not realizing how this doesnt take away ANY responability from god in any shape or form. God made everything according to the bible. This includes all thoughts produced by free will, this includes all evil, all imperfection, all sin, it includes every single thought ever thought by any being in the past, presence and future. God is described as a being not restricted by time, he operates outside of space and time, because he created space and time.
He cant take risks, he cant be suprised , everything is the way he wants it to be, which means he WANTED his creation to allegedly "fail" so that he himself can jump in to "rescue" them from himself.
And if you go full circle now and respond with something like its not our place to question or judge god or that we cant understand god's ways then you just prove again that you guys cant be argued with.
It doesnt matter for you religious guys if things make sense or not, because you dont give a fuck about logic or rationality because god.
Your whole life as a devout christian is a wasted life. You are a prisoner of your own delusion.
You are acting and sounding as if you understand and/or know God's intentions. Your own ego is keeping you from seeing God's love for you. He never created us to fail, we failed Him. Whether He was "surprised" or not, doesn't really matter. Who is to say that in some space/time continuum, on another "Earth", their "Adam & Eve" didn't eat the apple? The God who created science and experiments and curiosity, you expect Him to not want to tinker with His own creation?
He made us in His own image. All the thoughts you have come from the same origination or place that God's do. His is the standard. He proved that we humans could live by that standard as well by sending Jesus to do so.
And if you consider living a life based on Biblical principles is a waste, what morality would make life worth living?
