For Literalists....a little help understanding

Lilith? or the clean up?

Which is it?

Clean up

Clean up

Thank you, sir.

I shall now answer your post accordingly.

 

[AV1611VET]

WHOA! Did someone ARGUE that?

Yes.

I did.

That's pretty awful.

Would you like to see my justification?

I'll be more than happy to explain myself, so you won't think it's awful.

Or would you rather I not and just go with your gut feeling that it's 'pretty awful'?

I'd say no. The soul of Adam is to continuously glorified God day and night with out tiring. It is not until after eating of the apple did Adam have free will.

So why do people say God gave humanity free will because he wants us to be able to choose? Why was he happy for Adam not to have free will?

 

[dlamberth]

If that was his soul, why did he disobey God. If he didn't have free will, how could have have POSSIBLY made that choice?

What makes you think he had a choice in the matter?

If you put it up in another thread, we don't need to rehash it here but if its somewhere in another thread I'll take a look at it.

What makes you think he had a choice in the matter?

He did have free will. That tree and snake thing is what God conjured up to see if it worked. It was a test--we passed it and graduated.

Genesis 1:27 KJV
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
