[QUOTE="Job 33:6, post: 76091686, member: 399299"] I think it's more of a logical impossibility than it is necessarily a limitation of the power of God. If God really wanted to completely eliminate sin, God could make us robots that never even have a thought about sin, let alone have a choice to choose such a thought. But the cost of such a removal of this kind of freedom, would defeat the beauty in creation. Unless God just made us a bunch of mindless robots. And mankind isn't really a bunch of children without responsibility for our actions as a child is. If I am a grown man and my parents tell me not to throw a rock at an old lady, and I do so anyway, my parents don't get punished for this, I do. And you mentioned that someone would have to climb a fence in your scenario. God would have to make an infinitely tall fence to truly prevent mankind from climbing it, just by the nature of mankind and our willingness to make bad choices. Or alternatively, God would have to place some sort of limitation in the design of people that would prevent us from having the free choice to climb. And to be fair, God did warn Adam not to eat of the apple. The warning sign was there and Adam trespassed that warning by free will. [/QUOTE]
