In the Garden of Eden, where God placed Adam on the sixth day, God had also
planted a very special tree there which he called "The tree of knowledge
of good
and EVIL". Where did God get His knowledge of evil when he created the
tree of
knowledge of good and evil -- from His heart or from His head? Why didn't
God
have Satan create the tree of knowledge of evil instead? Maybe because
Satan
couldn't create a tree evil enough for God to look down on and declare
"and it
was good"? Which is more evil: the person who does an evil deed or the
accomplice who teaches that person how to do evil deeds? Where is the
justice in
that?
One day Adam broke one of God's commandments by eating of the Tree of Evil
Knowledge. If Adam was born without knowledge of good and evil (and
therefore
had no knowledge of what sin was), then how could Adam be blamed for doing
evil
when he ate of the forbidden tree? Where is the justice in that?
Adam eventually died as a result that action, but did Adam gain anything
by
dying? If Adam died and then continued to live afterwards in heaven, then
sin
and the resultant death was not a curse, but a blessing because dying is a
way
to go to Heaven. If Adam continued to live afterwards in Hell, then it was
dishonest and unjust for God to not give Adam a fair warning ahead of
time, a
warning that if he sinned he would not just only die, but he would
continue to
live in a terrible place where he would be tortured forever and ever.
Where is
the justice in that?
Adam supposedly was created with a body, soul, and spirit. When Adam first
sinned, which of these parts of Adam was responsible for the sin? If it
was the
body then why must our souls be saved and not our bodies? If it was soul
or
spirit then why must the body suffer? When God spoke to Adam in Gen.
3:17-19,
was he speaking to "Adam the body" or "Adam the soul" or "Adam the
spirit"? If
you say spirit or soul then why would God mislead Adam by saying from dust
YOU
were made and to dust YOU will return? Why didn't he truthfully say from
dust
only your body was made and to dust only your body will return? Eventually
there
would come Jesus and he was to buy back what Adam lost. This brings us to
the
question of what exactly did Adam lose? If Adam was already in Heaven,
then he
didn't need Jesus to die for him because he would already be where he
would want
to be. If Adam was in Hell then it was too late! He was already where he
deserved to be. Wouldn't God have originally wanted Adam to have not
sinned? If
you believe in foreordaination, you would have to say no, because God had
preplanned for Adam's failure, therefore God wanted Adam to sin. Where is
the
justice in that?
