Question

any intellegent God can see that when Adam and Eve sin, we were NOT THERE, why should we pay for their problem and choices just because we share some DNA? i am sure God can change the DNA or give us a fresh start if he truely wants to

Answer 1

I agree ..So does the bible
Read Ezikiel 18:20-23
20
Only the one who sins shall die. The son shall not be charged with the guilt of his father, nor shall the father be charged with the guilt of his son. The virtuous man's virtue shall be his own, as the wicked man's wickedness shall be his own.
21
But if the wicked man turns away from all the sins he committed, if he keeps all my statutes and does what is right and just, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
22
None of the crimes he committed shall be remembered against him; he shall live because of the virtue he has practiced.
23
Do I indeed derive any pleasure from the death of the wicked? says the Lord GOD. Do I not rather rejoice when he turns from his evil way that he may live?

Answer 2

I have contemplated this additionally, and I wish to make it transparent I am no longer the kind of man or woman who sits round seeking to assume methods to help what I consider. I truthfully grew to become a Christian by way of seeking to criticize Christianity. The extra I discovered, the more difficult it grew to become to disclaim the fundamental premise. All folks have got to be forgiven. The Bible says all sins are identical, however that doesn't imply everybody sin similarly. If you consider the Bible, both you'll be able to be just like the Jews and consider that forgiveness effectively comes from God, or you'll be able to be just like the Christians and include the possibility that Christ represents slightly divine intervention in our non secular affairs. With Adam and Eve it sort of feels to me that God would have conveniently placed an finish to sin proper then and there that day. I suggestion approximately this as soon as for rather a while earlier than I started to suppose God did not finish sin for the identical motives He chooses to not placed an finish to me or any individual else. There are fairly most effective 2 methods God would have placed an finish to sin. He would have ended Adam and Eve's life and thrown away all His blueprints for humanity and on no account might have made any people who're their descendants. Once they grew to become sinners, sin entered the arena by way of them. Or, the one different probability is that God would have determined on a few style of "do-over," and that might no longer look very honest.

Answer 3

God creates a magical tree that gives one the power of knowing the difference between good and evil. He puts it in a pretty garden and tells two people, "Don't eat that fruit or you will die that very day." OK, they don't know what death is, they've never seen it or had a loved one die, so they have no idea what God is talking about. So right off the bat, God creates a potentially bad situation--by creating an attractive hazard, and by not fully explaining what's going on or why he wants them to obey him.

Second, God expects them to know good from evil, as they must in order to comprehend why NOT to do something bad....yet he denies them the very method by which they could gain such knowledge! How are they to know they're sinning if they don't know what a sin is? How are they to know that something is evil or good, if they aren't given the ability to figure it out? How do they know what death is--or any kind of punishment--if they have no experience of it whatsoever?

Third, they eat the fruit, get the knowledge, God punishes them for having knowledge that they would need in order to obey him anyway, and also punishes the entire human race. Wait, isn't this the same God who commands people never to punish children for their parents' sins?? The whole story is full of more holes than a politician's promises. How can people in the 21st century take any of it literally? Adults believing in Disney fairy tales? It's ridiculous. Too bad they breed so readily.

Answer 4

Adam and Eve did not commit any 'sin'. That is all religious/church propaganda to control you through guilt and fear. You are only accountable for your actions and if your actions transgress the Laws of Life then you must make amends for those errors. In Hebrews 'Sin' means to miss the mark. So try, try again until you hit the bullseye.
Karma is a Law of Life.

Answer 5

We didn't and don't pay for their sins. And you, sir, don't know what you are talking about. Also, with God changing DNA, there have been book upon books on writing about why God doesn't interfere with our lives. One of these theiries is the "Great Clockmaker theory". But that is a wrong theory that Kantian believers use. Kant was wrong about most everything, though.

Answer 6

What does all this have to do with me?
If it was Adam’s decision to disobey God that brought sin into the world, why do we ALL have to suffer punishment?
If we are honest with ourselves, we will realize that Adam is a fair representative for all of us. If a perfect person in a perfect place decided to disobey God’s rules, none of us would have done better. Romans 5:12 says, “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.” We all inherit Adam’s sin nature. We all sin, so we all deserve to die and suffer eternal punishment in hell. We must understand that not one of us is innocent before God. Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Not one of us is worthy to stand before the Creator of the universe because we would each bring a sinful, rebellious nature into His presence.
In the beginning God completely sustained His creation without blemish. That’s why it was perfect. He held every atom together in a perfect state. He kept the planets in their orbits. He kept animals from tripping and breaking their necks. He did not allow people to suffer and die.
Deuteronomy 8:4 gives us a little glimpse of how things might have been in the original creation. “Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.” God is omnipotent and perfectly capable of sustaining and protecting his creation.
When Adam sinned, however, the Lord cursed the universe. In essence there was a change and along with that change God seemingly took away a little bit of his sustaining power and allowed things like suffering and death into His creation. Now He permits bad things to happen—and this is a reminder that sin has consequences and that the world needs a Savior. Romans 8:22 says, “For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.”

God took pleasure in all of His creation ("http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?passage=revelation+4:11&version=NKJV"), but He loved people most of all. He allowed the created universe to deteriorate so we would see the consequences of our sin. If we did not see the consequences of our sin, we would never see that we need salvation from our sin, and we would never accept His offer of mercy for our sin. Most people easily recognize that there is a problem in the world. This can be used to show them that there is one who has overcome this problem of death and suffering—Jesus Christ.

Answer 7

How exactly hare you paying for Adam and Eve's sin?
And we are not paying for, and being punished for, Adam's sin, in a way that is unfair to us, anyway.

Answer 8

Prior to Adam and Eve, there was no sin in the world. Because of their sin, they introduced sin into the world. It is not their sin directly, but it is their sin imputed to us. Does that make sense?

Answer 9

You can't give your kids perfect blood by virtue of giving birth to them. Sin was passed down through the blood, and God was called a liar by Satan, for all in heaven to bear witness to. Had he simply destroyed Adam and Eve and Satan at the time, the hosts of heaven and creation from there on out would have wondered if Satan hadn't been right. There was a score to settle and God is settling it.

Answer 10

What Adam and Eve did effected our species, and since God gave people free will, we get what those before us chose for us. Do good and those after you will have good. Do evil, and what you do effects people in the future.
