why not just blame god for being so hard on them? if god didn't get so angry and forgave them for the fruit they ate everything would be alright now?

Don't blame me for Christian's bad behavior. How about they take responsibility for their own screw ups and actions--or lack there of.

God gave Adam and Eve one rule: don't eat the fruit from this tree here. _They chose_ to disobey, and were kicked out of Eden so they wouldn't live forever in decrepit bodies (and/or live forever separated from God--which would have happened if they had eaten of the tree of life). When they ate the forbidden fruit (don't you dare call it an apple), death and suffering came upon the world. Why was God so hard on them? He can't allow imperfection to dwell in perfection/paradise, otherwise it's not perfect anymore.
what ifs aren't that useful. In logic, if the IF isn't true, then the IF..THEN statement is. "forgave them"...no, because once Adam and Eve sinned, they acquired a sinful nature, which results in separation from God. There wasn't really a way to keep them in the Garden and God still be just. And without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins. Death entered the world when sin did. Maybe if Adam and Eve hadn't tried playing the blame game (SHE made me! The SERPENT told me to!) or otherwise trying to rationalize, make excuses, et cetera. God could have forgiven them; but they weren't sorry, they were just scared because they got caught.
I think that's what it boils down to; God couldn't forgive them because they weren't sorry.

Adam and Eve are blamed because, that is where the fault lies, not with God. Adam and Eve knew what the rules were, and were told plainly not to do it an if they don't what would happen. They did it anyway. Once they did sin, it set into motion the course that is set before us all. Nothing shall alter the course set into motion by Adam and Eve's sin, save only Acts 2:38. Christ in his wisdom created two paths one to death, the other to life everlasting. As with Adam and Eve the path we pick is completely up to us. If we pick the wrong path, we can't blame God. He lets us pick the path.

Actions have consequences, and forgiveness wouldn't have been enough.
Adam's poor choice changed everything in a way that Adam couldn't recover from, by himself.
That's why God had to step in, first.
Once God fixed things, forgiveness became practical once again, and here we are.
Only after this age is complete will things be fully restored, all through the power of God, not Adam.

God knows what's the best for us more than we ever know.. all we have to do is accept it and deal with it do the best we can in the world.. there's always a reason for this to happen, a good reason for sure!.. we just sometimes tend to blame god coz that's what most of us do.

Amen sister! human beings do not end to bear in mind the Atonement or they don't trust contained in the Atonement like a church that insists all toddlers are to be baptized as they were born from sin right into a sinful international and they'll flow to hell in the journey that they don't look to be baptized.... heavily human beings, contained in the interior maximum portion of your heart, do you certainly trust God would throw a sparkling born infant in to hell? Yea, i did not imagine so. Jesus has ATONED FOR ADAM AND EVE'S SIN and each HUMAN THAT HAS EVER LIVED on the planet OR WHO will be TAKING THEIR activate the planet. Do you not get the actual undeniable truth that Jesus paid for all the sins of mankind. God gave us the present of repentance that we can choose to apply to repent and sin no extra because it really is portion of the repentance procedure. that doesn't mean you could be a regularly occurring flier in and out of the confession sales area to admit, be forgiven through someone and then head out the door to do it back repeatedly. Its clone of what number of human beings blame God for each little thing undesirable contained in the international... do you all not end and bear in mind that it really is devil it really is the following on earth tempting and attempting us into sin and then sense accountable and depressed, not God. Jesus became baptized my immersion less than water not purely some sprinkles of water.

please...its all just symbolic...the story i mean, cos you dont really think that we are capable of doing bad because of a FRUIT?! people should take responsibility for their own actions and learn to accept and control their bad and good sides. we all have it and i bet we were never destined to live like pretty little angels in a garden of paradise. its not the way things work and it wasnt cos of a fruit or god or satan...its in our nature and all around us
