The devil that was able to take a third part of the Angelic beings to himself who was dust made Adam and Eve to be decieved, If God didnt send him there wouldnt be any reason for Adam to be decieved. Would you kill your child because he has been decieved by a con man you put in one roof with him. The bible didnt tell us that God told Adam to beware of the Devil

The Devil was already here when God created Adam and Eve; his rebellion in Heaven was before the creation. God told Adam and Eve not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; all they had to do was do what God said to do and they would have been alright, even though the Devil was already here. The Devil gets blamed for alot of things that people end up doing themselves.

Ying and Yang, male and female,good and bad, light and darkness....without these forces we wouldn't have life as we know it.God created light and all things good...Satan broke away from the light and used darkness to conceal his evil plans..darkness became his domain and he's been working at pulling us towards it eversince.Which is exactly what he is trying to do with you..but you are stronger than that.
God told Eve not to eat the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden,nor touch it or she would die(Genesis).It was after Eve was deceived by Satan that she ate of the fruit and tempted Adam to do so aswell.Ultimately, it was Adam and Eve's choice..
I cannot find the bit in the bible that says that God put Satan in the garden...Remember, Satan had already rebelled against God prior to this,he had been wandering, looking for mischief.
Adam and Eve were given paradise, they chose to take a gamble,
they succumbed to temptation..sound familiar? We do it all the time..we take risks and then complain of the consequences.
Is God so bad for giving us the chance to live in paradise?Has he not given us a second chance?I think we need to give him the respect he deserves and we should stop questioning his Authority as Our Father..Let's be gratefull for all he's given us. I know I wouldn't want the burden of knowing everything he knows....
Remember we are being warned all the time but we still manage to get burned..it's in our nature.
This was a really good question...I hope I have been of some help.

God didn't create Adam and Eve to be robots without a FREEWILL, only doing what they were supposed to. True love is only shown by giving the person you love, freedom. Then and only then you will see if that person truly loves you or is scared of you.
Example: John's parents are in deep debt. John needs (not wants but needs) a new pair of pants. His father gives him his credit card and tells him, "Son, you know how we are in debt but I know you need a new pair of pants so go ahead and get yourself a pair." John goes to the store and sees a pair for $80 that are just great and in style. He really, really wants them but just as he is about to touch them, he thinks, no my parents can't afford this. So he walks on and gets a pair for $9.95 that would do just fine for a while. He gets home and tell his parents about what happened. The parents are really happy and thankful to John for his love and consideration. John could've spent $80 but he CHOSE NOT TO because his love for his parents exceeded his want/desire for the nice pair of pants since he didn't want them to push them any deeper into debt than they were. Gosh, if he didn't have to spend those $10, he wouldn't have done that either. The temptation was there ($80 jeans); he had the means to satisfy the tempation (credit card) but his love for his parents kept him from acting upon the temptation (freewill).
One may consider this a bad example but the point being made here is that freewill is the only way for a person to show his true love and allegiance to God. If Adam didn't have the option of doing wrong, that would not have been fair since he wouldn't have had a choice and thus would not have been able to use the precious God-given gift of freewill. God warned Adam what the consequences of his disobedience would be, so He was fair in that and then God allowed for them to be tempted because that was only fair as well.
God's attitude has always been freewill. Here is life and here is death, choose life but He won't make the choice for you, you have to use your FREEWILL to make the choice (you being a general 'you' not specifically the asker of the question).
Does that make any sense? I hope so. Otherwise, I tried. :)
Cheers.

GOD told Adam and Eve they could eat and enjoy everything in the Garden except the Tree of Knowledge. Then the Serpent told Eve that She would become " like GOD " if she ate of the forbidden fruit. another way you might want to look at this passage is that by eating of the Tree of Knowledge Eve brought mankind from ignorance into a different realm of existance.

Then there could be no plan of Salvation. Jesus became the Lamb to be sacrificed. even through fact the crunching of the fruit echoed interior the backyard, the flow appeared on the horizon. how are you able to question a God you could not fathom. are you able to fathom a God that would "communicate" issues into existance. You disagree through fact your human recommendations can not wrap itself around this form of being! Your argument is stupid. the respond is with the aid of the fact sin had to flow into. a guy does not understand he desires a tub until he's time-honored with of he's grimy.

God didn't have to tell Adam to beware. Just obey. God didn't kill Adam, Adam separated (death) himself from God. God did everything He could to restore His relationship with Adam, including sending His own Son.

God did not sent the him to Adam- even God did not him as the devil coz authentic history shows that : (1) he was an angel of God in heaven adorned with various beautiful ornarments; he was described as a beautiful angel until he turned himself devil coz of his pride. he wanted to assume the glory that will go to God from Adam and Eve so, he (devil) sought ways to divert this glory and worship to himself- which he succeded with our first parents (Adam and eve)- the consequences we are suffering today as inheritance. for more information, Pls, read the book of Job chapter 2 verse 1to 6, Genesis chapter 3 verse 1to 5, Ezekiel chapter 25 e.t.c.

God clearly stated that when he created Adam and Eve that they were to eat every tree in the garden of eden expact the tree in the middle of the garden which was the tree of knowledge. But as the serpent entered the garden he decieve eve and told her that if you eat of this tree you will have eyes like God and you be in like the image of God. Little did they know that the were already in the likeness of God because he created us in his image and in his likeness. Before eve was decieved everything was good. But eve decieved adam and she told adam that eat this and you will have eyes like God. so God saw their nakedness and the serpent was punsihed as well from that day he crawled on his bell (snake) and eve bore pain when giving birth and adam had bad crops and God send them out of the garden Of eden but he did not destroy them he gave them mercy and latter on down the line jesus came to save the world from sin. So God still had mercy and grace on them.

God made Adam & Eve. He merely sent Lucifer to tempt them and show there faith. Did God know they would fail? Of course he did hes God. God knew Eve would fail the test and Take Adam with her, he did this because he needed them to have children. Children whom he could test so as to find souls that would follow him not because they were told to but because they honestly wanted too. Lucifer was allowed to take a third of the host of heaven because,lets face it he is NO GOD, And his power is not enough to test all the souls on earth that God has created. The third of the angelic host was placed with Lucifer to help test all the souls that would come later. Everything that has been done from the creation of the earth to the spoiling of Lucifer to fall of Adam too the birth of mankind has been Gods plan. Why you might ask? Why would God play such a strange game. Because of you and me and them all of us. He wants souls who follow him out of friendship and love and he couldnt get that on his own. He didnt want to MAKE us love him. He wants us to come to him out of our own free will that all that matters. If you could have a friend that loves you for you or for what you have which one would you choose? Bless you and try to read the Bible.

the devil made me do it was a poor excuse in 2nd grade and it is no different with Adam and Eve
yes it is justice
not so simple
was he conned, or did Adam do it with eyes wide open. Eve was conned.
also did they fall befor they ate the fruit? possibly, Im not sure. They chose to disobey and to not believe God. Since they chose to put their glory above God in a sense it shows a change in the corrupt direction already and eating the fruit may have brought it to th e surface?
hard to say
so ... not so simple
