[QUOTE="dc87, post: 71441061, member: 393991"] If Adam and Eve had no free will, then how could they CHOOSE to disobey? We obviously were not robots which is what is implied by saying we have no free will? Genesis 1:26-28 says that God created man in "His own image". What does that mean to you that Adam was [B]orginally[/B] created in [U]God's own image[/U]? I will add... Genesis 2:19-20 says that God let Adam name all of the animals to "see" what he would name them... that implies (you'll have to look at the language) that Adam had a choice in what he would name something and therefore was no a robot. It was the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.... not the Tree of Free Choice. You can have Free Will and just no [U]Knowledge[/U] of Good and Evil (nakedness, etc...)... For example .... a baby does things not based on if they are good or bad but by carnal reactions. Now when a baby gets older they will come to understand right from wrong... and of course be [U]knowledgeable[/U] of the difference. ... It never specifies here where God REQUIRES sin to show his mercy and glory.... ? [/QUOTE]
