I am afraid it is hardly worth asking these questions. If the respondant is religous they say it all makes sense due to their faith. If they are not, then it makes no sense at all.
It is fun to pick holes in religion but the faithfull are blind to logic.....

We don't simply sin because Adam sinned - but because each of us chooses to sin.
God could forgive us - and he did, again and again. But nothing changed - we were still trapped.
In order to set us completely free from the power of sin, he sent his son to die, to be punished for our sin once and for all.
This means we can be set free.
His Son was punished because God couldn't just overlook all the evil that's been done in the world - that would be unjust to the victims of crime, for a start!
Not only can God forgive, he can also do something as sacrificial as dying on the cross for us.

I neither connect the doctrine of the Trinity nor the certain Creed. i believe that the myth of Jesus being crucified and the resurrection are literally not something more desirable than a preparation gadget. In different words it did not ensue, notwithstanding the idea in that mythology is the proper motorcar in which to bring about human beings to go back to the religion, and to God. in the time even as the Creed and the myth were created, the early Church and the Roman Empire necessary a sparkling cristology to describe the course to heaven. considering maximum folk were ignorant and illiterate, and needed to count on gods and messiahs, the motorcar of the pastime provided a outstanding shipping. Come to Jesus, flow immediately to heaven. My own experience is that God exists without the complicated mythology of the Church, and that the tale of the shortcoming of life and resurrection of Christ is in basic terms a fiction. therefore, i'd say to you that God did not act cruelly, as no loving author ought to attempt this fantastically to His messenger. i count on case you burn away each and every of the fat, the authentic meat of the religion is the message, no longer the complicated and drawn out rationalization given in the recent testomony. keep in techniques the situations. The Sanhedrin and the Pharisees had complicated and obfuscated Judaism because it existed on the time. It had made the religion rigid, rigid, illiberal and punitive. that is about the position the Catholic Church as arrived with respect to all of its guidelines, dogmas, and liturgies, etc. and many Christian denominations which have splintered off of the Church have in a unmarried way or yet another followed those rigidities besides. in short, Christianity has devolved into the very similar difficulty that Christ had himself fought hostile to. A legalistic, formalistic, rigid and intractable faith that obfuscates the message; and separates the individuals from their very own God. unhappy. for this reason, the myth looks to bare a punishing God, a merciless God. yet in my heart and of my awareness of God, i recognize its in simple terms no longer authentic.

When Adam and Eve sinned they gave Lordship of this earth and all it's inhabitants into Satan's domain. In order to redeem us from the curse of sin-being kicked out of the garden and suffering decay and death, there had to be a sacrifice that only Jesus could make. After the cross He went into Hell and defeated Satan, and took the keys of death and hell from Satan. Then He rose again triumphant on the third day.
Look up the "Pauline Revelation" on any encyclopedia or christian search engine to get a more in depth study of this.

In our day and age justice is nearly nonexistent, yet when someone harms us, we want justice. There must be a supreme justice, one who sticks by the rules even in the face of what may be his own pain.
Adam was given an order which represented God's right to rule over man that he had created. Man had been created with eternal life, and disobedience was loss of his eternal live. A perfect person (which Adam was) made a deliberate choice to disobey. He was a perfect pie plate that become 'bent' and all his children would be 'bent' also. Adam faced the consequences for his actions. He lost his life in the day God said he would. But his children needed a way out in order for them to have the opportunity to live. Adam sinned and all his children would be born in sin.
The issue there in the beginning of man can be likened to a court of justice - the issue of soverienty, God's right to rule or the angel's right to rule, the voice of the snake. Adam chose his own right to rule himself, putting him and all his future children under the rulership of Satan, and the entire world is still under that rulership. We can so appreciate that God provided a way out for us so that we are not bound eternially under that original bad choice. That court of justice has only a determined period to run, and the issue will be setteled before all creation, man and angels for all time. The bible promises that Satan's governmental rulership period of one week in God's time (7,000 years) is going to end.
God did not 'make' his son do anything. His son offered to die for mankind because he loved them. He also loved his Father. If you loved someone and another person was spreading lies, would you not want to straighten up the matter for the one you loved? This, Jesus did, and presented himself as another perfect man to meet the requirements of perfect justice.
God did not 'make' anyone kill his son. They did it out of their own hatred and ignorance. Forgiveness for those born after Adam is what the Father provided by allowing his son to provide the ransom. He loved and felt pity for man and did not want them to die.
When you don't understand something, it is good to seek out answers as you are doing. With knowledge gained comes understanding.
Many people wonder why God allows suffering and the continuence of wickedness. But because he loves us he has provided the answers. You don't buy a new car without research. Life is more important, and understanding requires research as well.

God is a Spiritual and Holy entity - Love, no sin can be in His presence becasue then it would be consumed and cesase to exist! He is Holy and Just and he does not even think to break one of His own laws!
Spirtitual laws require Spiritual codes of ethics.
The wages of Sin is death! But life IN the Spirit is life everlasting!
Sin is a spiritual force that casues death, it entered through man when he disobeyed. Disobedience is like an open door. It came into Adam and thus his 'seed.'
God had a plan to overcome sin and that was by a willing sacrifice of Love by himself through Jesus. He died and took the punishment for sin - for everyone thus in one fell swoop forgiving everyone of their sin -BUT YOU MUST RECEIVE THIS FREE GIFT IN ORDER TO PARTAKE OF THE BENFITS OF IT!
God did forgive - constantly! But
The blood of the animals in the OT could only COVER sin and only for a year. They were animals!
That is right GOD GAVE US His son. God came to this earth to die as the last sacrifice One sacrifice once and for all. To make a way for poeple to right with God and have entrance to heaven and partake in all the promises. He came and died (went to hell and took away from the devil the keys of death and hell so that we do not have to go!) and rose again - it is a spiritual event. He scarificed himself for everyone.
So that if we beielve in Jesus we would have everlasting life.
Everyone is born with a sin nature - man's nature is flawed.
Jesus died and shed blood to buy back (redeem) what was lost in the garden of Eden - ability to walk with God.
It is permanent and everlasting.
It has been done. It just needs to be received, the sin problem has been solved. Strop thinking ans start receiving!

The wages of sin is death.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Without blood there is no remission of sins.
Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
Jesus said He did not come to destroy the law but to fulfil it.
Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Once His propiation was complete our access to the Father, through Jesus, was restored.

Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin. God loved us so much that He wanted to give us the chance of everlasting life. That required a perfect sacrifice and their were no perfect people on earth so He sent His son to pay the price. Jesus was willing and He also paid for healing and deliverance too.

God has shown us a different way of being right in his sight--not by obeying the law but by the way promised in the Scriptures long ago. We are made right in God's sight when we trust in Jesus Christ to take away our sins. And we all can be saved in this same way, no matter who we are or what we have done.
For all have sinned; all fall short of God's glorious standard. Yet now God in his gracious kindness declares us not guilty. He has done this through Christ Jesus, who has freed us by taking away our sins. For God sent Jesus to take the punishment for our sins and to satisfy God's anger because of our rebellion. We are made right with God when we believe that Jesus shed his blood, sacrificing his life for us. God was being entirely fair and just when he did not punish those who sinned in former times. And he is entirely fair and just in this present time when he declares sinners to be right in his sight because they believe in Jesus.

I guess Christians like the gore of the murder. What other religion has as its main symbol a representation of a man being tortured to death? gruesome.
And the idea of original sin? Yeah, that "sins of the father" thing. All babies are born sinful? Get over it.
