Garden of Eden?

Question

If God had intended Adam and Eve to live forever and be fruitful and fill the earth and expand the Garden of Eden earth wide why was it not accomplished?Did God fail ?

Answer 1

No. Think about it...if everything was perfect, we wouldn't need God. It's part of God's mysterious plan...

Answer 2

God did not fail, he's proving himself right now. When Adam and Eve sinned, Satan challenged God and said (in so many words)"Man does not need God, man can govern his own way." In fact, Satan said to both the man and the woman, "You won't die if you eat the fruit, you will have all the knowledge that God has, you will be like a god!" So they turned their backs on God. So, God said, (in so many words) "Fine, you think you can rule yourself? Go ahead, I will give you time to prove to me that you don't need me." Then God sat back and is now waiting...for a time to say,"Alright! Enough! See! you just got worse and worse." Has this world gotten any better? Some people even blame God for bad things, babies dying, wars, famine. It hurts him to see all these things happen, but he promised that he would wait. And when the time comes he will step in and find the good people that rely on him. He will remember those that have died. And he will reward them with life eternal in a paradise on earth. No tears, no death, no sickness; just the way he planned it from the beginning. No, his purposes are still the same! But, right now, he's waiting until it's his time to say "See, you do need me!"

Answer 3

Because, again as religious people will tell you, god gave man free will and adam and eve used it to make a poor decision. Not a failure on gods end. Worked exactly how he planned it, and also introduced sin, so now churches can use sin to make every person who is religious feel guilt and feel as if they need to repent for their sins, and what better place to do that then the church? Oh, and while you're here repenting your sins, why not throw a few dollars into the collection bin as it's passed around. Oh, and furthermore, why not (As I have seen in numerous church bulletins) remember the church in your will and leave them more money?

Good lord, no pun intended, can't you people see it for what it really is? The most profitable non-profit business on the planet. And then religious people wonder why atheists think of them as suckers.

**EDIT**

Wonder how many negatives I will get from all the religious people who bother reading this. Gonne watch and see. I think my record now is 12 negatives for pointing out the actual truth, not the brainwashed version of it.

Answer 4

God intended for us to make our own decisions, and to live with the consequences of those decisions.

Adam and Eve chose to disobey God. And the consequence of that was sin entered the world, and along with sin came death.

God did not fail.

PS - where do you people get that apple idea?

Answer 5

No God didn't fail. Mankind failed God. Adam,and Eve were commanded by God to NOT EAT from the tree of life,of knowledge of good and evil: They allowed Lucifer AKA Satan (who used the serpent) to tempt them into eating,saying God does not want you to eat this,because he knows you will be as wise as he is. Mankind sinned,disobeyed God: Hope this answers your Question.

Answer 6

No ... Eve tempted Adam with the apple of knowledge that God had forbade.. that is why they were kicked out of the garden of Eden .. and ruined it for the rest of us. :( Darn those kids ! Good Luck! :)

Answer 7

God did in fact fail with Adam and Eve. It is something that is generally ignored or quitely placed in the closet.

Answer 8

no he did not remember god gave man free will to do as we please. Adam and Eve had a choice to eat or not to eat the apple and they did so there you go....My God never fails

Answer 9

uhh... isnt this question obvious??

adam and eve ate the fruit of knowledge and were cast out.. therefore, humans got cursed and the garden of eden is prohibited for humans....
if humans can't enter it, why expand the garden>?

Answer 10

Adam was under obligation to love, worship, and strictly obey his Grand Creator. More than that, the Universal Lawgiver spelled out for him the simple law of obedience and fully informed him of the just and reasonable penalty for disobedience: “As for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die.” (Ge 2:16, 17; 3:2, 3) Notwithstanding this explicit law carrying a severe penalty for disobedience, he did disobey.

With full knowledge Adam willfully and deliberately chose to disobey and then as a criminal he tried to hide. When brought to trial, instead of showing sorrow or regret or asking for forgiveness, Adam attempted to justify himself and pass the responsibility off on others, even blaming Jehovah for his own willful sin. “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree and so I ate.” (Ge 3:7-12) So Adam was cast out of Eden into an unsubdued earth that was cursed to produce thorns and thistles, there to sweat out an existence, harvesting the bitter fruits of his sin. Outside the garden, awaiting death, Adam fathered sons and daughters, the names of only three being preserved, Cain, Abel, and Seth. To all of his children Adam passed on hereditary sin and death, since he himself was sinful.

This was the tragic start Adam gave the human race. Paradise, happiness, and everlasting life were forfeited, and in their place sin, suffering, and death were acquired through disobedience. “Through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned.” “Death ruled as king from Adam down.” (Ro 5:12, 14)

Answer 11

Did God force Eve to remove her figleaf and commit adultery by giving her goods to the one who came from the star group "Serpens?"
