Did God purposely make Adam and Eve spiritually weak in order to carry out a larger plan?

Yes, I think so, actually.

He knew what would happen if that is what you mean. But we are all weak, the only way we can be strong is to admit our weakness and allow the Lord to make us strong. I believe Adam and Eve were intended to fall. Adam fell that men might have joy. For without the knowledge given from eating the fruit, Adam and Eve would have remained eternally, the sole inhabitants of the Earth and stayed in the Garden of Eden for all Eternity.

God gave Adam and Eve freewill.
He knew what they would do before He made them.
Maybe He hoped that they would not, but He knew.
He gives us all free will.
He came into the world as JESUS CHRIST.
Jesus, God incarnate.
Read the Bible, there are several passages in the book of John in which Jesus said,"I AM GOD".
"If you Have seen me, You Have SEEN THE FATHER".
It is like the farmer who was plowing his field.
He came across an ant hill on his land he was about to plow.
He thought, "If only I could become an ant to warn them, and ask them to move their anthill so I could plow".
It is the same with God, except that God was perfectly able to leave the throne and come to earth as a man and,"Show us how to walk".
Without the fall of man, ADAM and EVE, well ofcourse everything would still be perfect.
However since the fall of man with the temptation of the fruit of the tree of knowledge, it proves God gives us free will.
And also with this, first there was the Great Flood.
Then God sent Jesus (or came) into the world to wipe away sin once and for all, when Jesus gave His Life on the cross.
We are all covered by the blood of JESUS.
All we have to do is to ask Him into our hearts, and He will wipe away our sins- He allready did it.
We just have to believe and accept Him as our SAVIOUR.
God Bless.

Are you Kidding?
GODs Power made Adam and Eve Stronger Than Anything on the Planet.
HE told them to Subdue it. GOD don't tell you to do Something if it Wasn't Possible, GOD would be a Liar, or Trickster (which HE ain't).
Adam and Eves FreeWill got them into Trouble. They used it to Follow Evil and Wickedness.
GOD Bless and Ditto..................

They are human. They are weak.
You are weak too until you ask God for his strength. Nobody knows why Adam and Eve did not ask for God's strength. He would have helped them resist the tempation.
You can better avoid temptation if you go to church, pay tithing, and do everything the leadership tells you.

I don't think so, supposedly in his own image. But it's like children, just cause you want to have faith that they are going to listen and pay attention, and do the right thing, don't think it will happen. When God gave them free will, it was just a matter of time before they exercised that right, it doesn't mean that they did right, buy they did what they felt was right. Bigger plan? Well that whole creation is a pretty big plan, so possibly. Interesting question.

god made adam and eve yet he never gave them a character, he let them form their own so that they may be able to make their own decisions. now eve was tricked by satan the snake and she had commited the sin and so adam saw that his wife had sinned he did it too for he did not want to be seperated from her. god had a plan in case adam and eve failed to obey.

Adam and Eve were living in paradise. Along came the serpeant and he began to plant the seed of doubt. God had said they could eat from any tree in the garden, except one. But the serpeant used their boredom, their pride and their ignorance to get them to thinking .... sort of like this question... thinking that I might know better than God what God ought to do, or that I know better than God what God should have done .....and well the rest is history.... lol

I believe God made Adam and Eve strong, to test their belief in God....they failed.

No I don't think so God made man with a free will you can choose to do evil or not. They choose to sin when tempted by the devil. They could have easily said No.

I don't believe that He made them weak I believe that like all humans (cuz they were human) they had fee will to choose to either obey or dis-obey. they chose to dis-obey and fell into sin. That is the same thing that happens with us today. We all have choices to make.
