How come god never forgive Adam and Eve for eating that apple from the tree?

Question

I mean he saying or he said that we should forgive those who
mak a mistake, but y dosn't he ever forgive them?

Answer 1

He did. What makes you think he didn't?

The story of Adam wasn't about forgiveness as much as it was about living with your decisions...even the bad ones.

God warned Adam about sin and its consequences. God told Adam not to eat of the fruit of the forbidden tree. He told him that if he did, he would die (Genesis 2:15-17).

When Adam sinned, God did not immediately put Adam to death, as his sin deserved. Instead, God sought Adam out and exposed his sin (Genesis 3:8-13). God also indicated the consequences Adam and his wife would experience because of their sin (Genesis 3:8-19).

God removed Adam and Eve from the garden and prevented them from returning to it. He kept them from eating of the tree of life, lest they live forever in their sin (3:22-24).

God gave Adam and Eve another son, Seth, after Cain killed Abel (4:25-26). It was after the birth of Seth that people began to worship the Lord (4:26). Did this include Adam? I am inclined to think so.

All of this suggests that Adam and Eve did seek God's forgiveness and receive it. The Bible places the emphasis on Adam's sin (and not on his repentance and forgiveness) because it was through Adam's sin that all mankind was corrupted and brought under the same sentence of death (Romans 5:12-21). Adam turns our attention toward the sin of the human race. Jesus Christ turns our attention to life and righteousness.

God forgives. And we forgive. But we all must repent when we sin and lie in the bed we made.

Answer 2

From a theological point of view... Adam and Eve were created perfect. When they decided to disobey, they incurred in several things such as stealing - taking something that did not belong to them - and disobeying an order from an authority, Imagine what would happen if the state "forgave" every one that incurred in a felony. They also disobeyed being perfect, which meant they did it on purpose, willingly with no possibilty of remorse or regrets. We see this as the case unfolds when neither Adam nor Eve ask for forgiveness and each one blames someone else for their actions. Adam even blamed God saying "the woman you gave me"... as if this made it excusable. The bible shows that there are sins for which there is no repentance or forgiveness. Adam and Eve, and the Devil and his demons fall into this category. It is the sons and daughters of Adam and Eve, that are paying for their parent's original sin and therefore are imperfect and are sentenced to grow old and die that can present an excuse before God saying "forgive me for I am imperfect". It is to these that God extends his mercy and forgiveness and has made provisions for the eventual pardoning of their sins granting them perfection and life eternal. If you really believe in this - since there are plenty of people out there that do not......

Answer 3

The Adam and Eve story comes from the Old Testament -- the Jewish bible, and of course, a Jewish God. As a Jew, I can tell you from personal experience the reason that God never forgave Adam and Eve is because we Jews tend to hold grudges. If I had a dime for every time I heard one of my friends or family say "I'll never forgive him for this," the I would be a rich man.

Answer 4

we're working through it - that's what life is about.
Also, there is absolutely no mention of the word apple in the Garden portion of Genesis. the Bible does not say that. It has been taught as a metaphor, but unfortunately people actually believe it and don't bother to read the Book themselves.
Take a look again at Genesis and read it slow. try to get a correct, original language translation, and the real world of religion will open up to you, because you will discover that what most people are taught and what the Bible says are actually two different things.

Answer 5

God forgave them but He still had to punish disobedience. God instructed them not to eat of the forbidden fruit, "The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil". This is why everybody has the knowledge of God in them, or it is accessible, because it is in our innate nature to know right from wrong.God placed this in our conscience. Just as parents warn their children and tell them to do something, and they do other wise; even though they have been warned, they have to suffer the consequences of disobedience when they disobey. The parents still love the child and they still teach them, and they learn, but it's usually through experience of pain, trial and error. We are hard headed by the natural person in us because we are curious. God wants us to trust Him at His Word. If God did not forgive then (Adam & Eve) nor us, would not be here today. We all deserve destruction because of the sin we do against God, ourselves and others. God gives us chances, as He did Adam and Eve.

Answer 6

The only way God could have forgiven them would be if he had chosen out of His perfect plan to save them. Then them in the human responsibility asked for the forgiveness of their sins. Then they would be forgiven. We do not know what the plan of God is and it would be foolish to think we did. We do not know if God indeed spread His grace to them but we can sure hope He did. I believe John MacArthur or James White has some good info on this very topic.

Answer 7

He did forgive them, but since they had sinned, and God cannot be present where there is sin, they could no longer live in paradise (Eden) with God. He still took care of them, they just had to work harder for the things they were once given. With any mistake you make in life there are consequences, and because God forgives you, that doesn't mean that he eliminates all consequences from your life, you have to live through them to learn from your mistakes.

Answer 8

Actually God did forgive them but because they ate from the Tree they wound up in a Sinful State and God did not want them to be in a Sinful State for Eternity so he allowed for them and their descendants to die.

But because Adam and Eve repented of their Sins and they hoped for a Messiah, the blood of Christ removed their Sin.

Answer 9

For the same reason that many people will find themselves in a place where they do NOT wanna be! God says what He means! He is a God of Justice. If you had a child & you told the child not to play in the street & you explained why they shouldn't play there...(mostly that they will die if they do) if that child plays in the street, against your will & your word..then death will be the obvious outcome.
God does not want any of us to die..but He also gives us FREE WILL to make our own choices. Forgiveness is ours if we accept the precious gift that God provided!!

Answer 10

Adam and Eve (peace be upon both) have been forgiven and are in the heaven now.
Allah the Almighty taught them how to ask for the forgiveness, they did and were forgiven therefore there should not be any doubt in this regard.
