Why did God put the serpent in the garden of eden?

Question

Why tempt your creations? Why would he create beings he knows will disobey and then condemn them for it? It's like allowing your dog out in the rain and then punishing him for gettting muddy.

It doesn't matter if the serpent was Satan, god still either put him there or allowed it.

Impossible_dream: But do you put a giant bowl of candy on the floor in front of the kids and then punish them for eating it?

Answer 1

Rational explanation: it's a story. The people who originally made it up had to explain why people are here, why there's such a thing as "sin" and why people need to believe in a god anyway.

Irrational theist answer: misinterpretation, mysterious ways, not literal, god can do whatever god wants
Either one of the obligatory christian answers can apply.

Answer 2

The serpent is Kalindra, he came with Sorna. They lived in Fapumdre, Olsindor. It is a beautiful and empiric dreamland kingdom. Now the garden of eden or Redemption is the opposite to this, being a hectic and vandalized form of recipient to knowledge and perception of deceit. Trust me not, you remember. I know this, kondrin. Nishar. The serpent does change and analize its surroundings, so do other people there. If there is peace it was provided, not found. Adan and Evae came together and left the place in distress, they were expelled because they sought to faculties beyond their current state of evolution, and the serpent merely stablished liquor and pass conditions, to general laughter and some applause. They were seen there no longer, we remember that as well. Now those two actor humans did employ some time explaining their inmediate necesities, wiring the surface for foor and garnishing some expertise in their consuming habits, tsk. They made no mistake and sure their god made no mistake either. We remember. He would want some more meat in nether regions, and she would want more cotture to her cheeks. Nice enough, they left in scandal, and people laughed and applauded some more, in reprensive and attentive seek of virtue after stupidity was neglected. Raise of kundalini is very infatuative and caring, it dwells into affection and solitude, so people become colaborative of society and national affairs, with no need for profit, scandal or b.s. We seek no moral in experience, and we see fit to all past and future, after some times doing it we see all happening around and we become good jedis and prospective investors for good of all and the way of people. We are that good.
Now god as we all know is a mere public and political figure of reference, so we have one, we are smart as well, no critisizm is intended. We provide truth, it figures. Humor is a must now.

Answer 3

If it would not had been for the serpent

You and me and the rest of the humanity would not have been here !!

Thus it was a part of Gods plan.

He was tired after the hectic work of creation and wanted some rest, so, it was the only way he could possibly think of that would ensure humans multiplying on earth.

Answer 4

I Corinthian 2:14. The serpent was used by Lucifer. God man man to be a free moral agent. To decide for himself. Did you know God sends no one to hell. He leaves that choice up to us

Answer 5

Actually, he DIDN'T know Adam and Eve would disobey. The temptations were there as a means of testing our ability to love God unconditionally through a free will CHOICE to obey or disobey. It's true that without free will, we would've still had the ability to love God, but not unconditionally! It would be like having a woman who would bend to your every desire, but when you kissed her, it would be like kissing a dead fish, for there would be no LOVE there, only the COMPULSION to obey in a near slave-like manner. God wanted beings that could be co-rulers with him (see Revelation 1:6) not slaves, so free will/temptations have been with us in order to test us and hopefully steel our will against temptation. We condemn OURSELVES through disobedience (see the part in Genesis about Adam and Eve's GUILTY conscience leading them to perform man's first act of religion by sewing together the fig leaves to cover their perceived nakedness [sin]), God doesn't condemn us. He merely separates us at Judgment Day when he says to the disobedient one, "Depart from me ye worker of INIQUITY (sin), I KNEW YE NOT". How can he condemn someone who doesn't KNOW Him due to their separation from Him because of their sin/disobedience?

Answer 6

The Bible isn't very annoying to study especially situations. God made the entire Bible very annoying to appreciate constantly. So we could continually not be shocked on the subject. using fact God is Jesus. And the Bible ITSELF tells us "Jesus spoke in PARABLES. And and not applying a parable He did not communicate." Matthew thirteen:34 those words prepare to each be conscious interior the Bible. using fact each be conscious interior the Bible is from the mouth of Jesus (God). Now approximately your question. i'm prepared to aim and answer it, even nonetheless it fairly is not clean precisely what your question is. You seem indicating that on account that God is the guy who set up the backyard of Eden, that he's the single ultimately to blame for the sin of Adam and Eve. it could seem that thank you to you, however the Bible additionally says that "No guy is tempted of God, yet each guy is drawn away of his very own LUST." James a million:thirteen,14 And definite God is easily concern to His very own policies. He says so explicitly in Psalm 138:2. "For thou hast magnified thy be conscious (thy regulation) peculiarly thy call." And while Jesus became into interior the desert for 40 days, He became into tempted by way of devil plenty extra intensely than Eve ever became into.

Answer 7

If I remember correctly he didn't put the serpent in the Garden. Instead it was Satan disguised as a snake in order to temp Adam and Eve, which he was successful in doing. Originally God gave them rules to follow and didn't do anything to test their loyalty or obedience.

Answer 8

Why do we have children knowing they will disobey us? Because we want to love them and be loved, teach them the right ways and hope that when they are grown, they will be upstanding moral citizens.

Answer 9

Yeah, god shouldn't be allowed to care for pets anymore. He drowned all but two of each species, for alleged crimes the people he created committed.

Answer 10

To give snakes a bad rap. The poor suckers have been hated ever since.
