<< She disobeys God's commandment and follows after her own lust at the prompting of the serpent, and thus shows us the root of sin for the whole human race. >> At this point, God realized that there was a fault in the creation of mankind. Instead of allowing mankind to be cursed with sin, God had the power to start over again with another Adam and Eve. All He had to do is tweak the new Adam and Eve with a little more wisdom, but without tampering with Free Will. Why He didn't do this, is for God to know. He also had to power to create an Eve without "lust". But, He, in His infinite wisdom, chose otherwise. Regards, Bob |
