CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hey, sorry about the delayed response!
Well when I was 5 I made a profession of faith. I grew up in a Christian home and pretty much lived life where God was always in my life. As I got into my late teens I started making my own choices about life and my faith started to take a back seat. I got married at 21 and divorced at 23. God used that season of my life to show me many things about Him (His sovereignty, His love, how He picks up His children and teaches them how to walk in the midst of life's storms) and how much I desperately needed Him.
Honestly it's somewhat of a grey area. Like I said it would have been when I was 5 because I've never really lived apart from Him. Or it could have been when I completely leaned on Him through my divorce. Idk. What I DO know though is that I without Him I have no hope or future and that I need Him more than anything else on this earth.
Honestly I don't really know how to answer this question. There is no telling. It was just as much Adam as well.
What I do know is that God knew it was going to happen and He made them specifically anyways. He could have just started over right there. The only answer that I have as to why not is love. He have is free will to sin or not and He gave us a way to be forgiven.
I think it would have happened regardless of who He made but that's just my personal opinion.
