What would you do if you were God?

Question

Let's say first being God--you defined sin. You created Adam and Eve.
They sinned by eating the forbidden fruit because they were weak and imperfect human beings.
What would you chose to do?
(1) Chastise them and then forgive them--because they recognize their faults and it was their first-time.
(2) Curse them and let their sin be inherited by generations after generations until you yourself incarnated as Jesus and being brutally tortured and murdered to pay for the sins of humanbeings.

Answer 1

First of all no human being can ever have the wisdom to think like God Almighty

But because I know what Allah did when ( Adam & Eve ) ate from the forbiden tree wich he clearly told them not to even go near it I would say that Allah first punnished them for not obaying then as soon as Adam (peace be upon him ) asks for forgiveness Allah then forgave them

p.s
keep up the good questions

Answer 2

Do you think sin started here on earth? Do you realize that "sinning" is a separation from God? What exists without God? (nothing)
Lets say I was God for the sake of argument. And I already had a rebellion on my hands, a rebellion attacking my character. I want beings to serve me out of love and doing things freely. If I cast out a third of the population of heaven because they chose to defy the law of love, the rest of the universe is watching, and two humans on a planet, should I make an exception for those two? If I change my mind, or give in to rebellion, then I am not God.

(By the way, Adam and Eve were perfect, not imperfect as you have suggested, with much higher and nobler intellects than those of today. And physically no human of today would come close to their strength or beauty.)

And lets clarify. Adam and Eve sinned when they mentally separated themselves from God's will for them. Eve made a decision against God, then Adam made a decision against God.

If a person chooses to separate themselves from God, they die. Sin can't exist in God's prescence. When Jesus and God the Father were planning the world, the plan of salvation was included in it. (the lamb slain from the foundation of the world)
So, the options actually are: should I as God simply take my presence away from this world and let it cease to be? Or should I let mankind have the chance to be restored to the kingdom of God.? Since God is love he really didn't have the first choice as an option anyway. So now the earth is a universal theatre of the cosmic conflict between Jesus and Satan, the adversary. The war is already won, by the way, in case you didn't know, if no one had told you.. And you can still choose to be on the winning team. But, since I love you so much, I won't force my gift upon you. You have to reach out and take it. Is it fair to be born into a fallen world, a war zone? I suppose not, but you were born to die here, and God has offered a way out.

Answer 3

If I was God - there would be no serpent, no tree of knowledge and no apple. I will make sure that it is not even an option.

If I was God, the Sepent, Satan would cease to exist since I am all powerful.

If I was God, Adam and even would have multiplied into BIllions and still remained in the Garden of Eden, not knowing anything I don't want them to know.

If I was God.

But I ain't

Hence, he wants us Love Trust and Respect Him. And Follow him on our own free will. get that? Free will. He gave all of us Free Will. So we can worship the way He should be worshiped. With reverence and not in Fear.

Thank God.

Answer 4

Well, I'd go with option 1.
Because that's pretty much the new message God sends out after Jesus, so I'd cut through the red tape, and rewrite the rules early.

But I think it would be more important for me to take an active role in their lives, being there all the time, talking with them directly, making sure they know I'm real, and I care.

Nothing like a dead-beat dad to screw up a utopia.

Answer 5

(3) Answer the question that was raised, when the serpent (satan) challenged my right to reign supreme and make the decisions regarding my creation. That question was 'Does god have the right to rule humans, or can humans rule themselves successfully?' To answer that question without proof would cause the question to be raised time and time again by any other heavenly creatures, like Satan started out being, until it was proved beyond a shadow of a doubt. So I as God would let mankind rule over themselves for a period of time I determined, in their sinful state, until it was obvious to anyone that man cannot rule himself successfully, they need me. To fulfill that need I would make a way availible to them through a ransom sacrifice by providing my son, another perfect life, to redeem mankind from the loss of perfection by the sin of Adam. Then I would wait for that one special human who thinks that he is smarter than God to post a question on yahoo, questioning my decisions and love and forgive him as well.

Answer 6

I am not God and nor would I dare to asume that I could possibly do things better than God didWhat God has done is the best way that he could have done things. There is no better way than Gods way just look around and see what is going on without God's direction in the World!
Much mesery and sorrow all due to humans ruling themselves under Satans direction!

Answer 7

particularly!!! It grew to become into some thing extra formal, yet I used to speak to Him regardless of the reason and because I saved forward to my very own ambition and desires, while He gave me avertisements I saved none and did my way going into further and further trubles! Into an end, interior of a deep depresion, He saved my existence (!!!) the very 2d I left away of all my deep desires... There, empty heart, i grew to become into crammed with God's easy and Peace and Love - an entire New existence, a clean physique, a clean innovative and prescient over the final and the destiny :) :) :) specific, he's my Saviour!!!

Answer 8

Or option #3.

Understand that they broke your commandment, and obey your own law by being no respecter of persons, treating them with the same equality as those before and after them.

Knowing that there will be rewards and consequences for our choices.

Forgive them for their acts, but fulfill the law of consequences by withdrawing your presence from them except if they utilize a mediator.........a Savior.......one that would plead their case before the Father.

A way to make their way back to Him, with a set of rules to follow to assist their efforts.

Not an easy way, but certainly possible.

Both laws are fulfilled.

Answer 9

First off, I wouldn't have had the forbidden tree in the first place. Since they're made in my image and I know it would be too tempting for me, I wouldn't have made it in the first place. But if I did make the tree, I'd go with the first one. I'd let the punishment fit the crime.

Answer 10

i cannot say what i would do...i would not presume to even second guess God...i am a human being and soft...i could not do what God did...and i do not know His mind. it is imossible to figure out what was in God's mind when he cursed them and drove them from Eden....part of the God plan of forever is all i can say.

i , too, have questioned many things in the Bible and never come up with any good answers.
