Answer 1

I live in Romania too, Bucharest.

Consider the implications of predestination. If this doctrine were true, it would mean that God foreknew all that would result from his creating man—the deflection of Adam and Eve, the wars, the crime, the immorality, the oppression, the lying, the hypocrisy, the disease. By speaking the words, “Let us make man,” then, God deliberately would have been setting all this wickedness in motion! (Genesis 1:26) God’s placing before Adam and Eve the prospect of everlasting life would, therefore, have been a sham. So would the Bible’s invitation, “Let anyone that wishes take life’s water free.”—Revelation 22:17.

But the Bible says that Jehovah is a God “abundant in loving-kindness and truth.” (Exodus 34:6) He would never offer something he knew that it was impossible for one to obtain. Jesus Christ asked: “Who is the man among you whom his son asks for bread—he will not hand him a stone, will he? . . . Therefore, if you, although being wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more so will your Father who is in the heavens give good things to those asking him?” (Matthew 7:9-11) Furthermore, if God long ago foreordained precisely who would gain eternal salvation and who would be eternally destroyed, why does the Bible say that “Jehovah . . . is patient with you because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance”?—2 Peter 3:9.

Predestination, therefore, runs counter to what the Bible actually teaches about God. ‘But would not limiting God’s knowledge of the future undermine his almightiness?’ you might ask. Not at all. At Titus 1:2, for example, we learn that “God . . . cannot lie.” But does this undermine God’s almightiness? No, rather, it highlights God’s truthfulness.

The apostle Paul counseled Christians endowed with the gift of prophecy: “Gifts of the spirit of the prophets are to be controlled by the prophets. For God is a God, not of disorder, but of peace.” (1 Corinthians 14:32, 33) Such prophets would not speak out indiscriminately but would share their prophetic messages in an orderly way. To do this, self-control was needed. Certainly, then, God is also able to use his foreknowledge selectively, using it only when there is a reason or a purpose for doing so.—Compare Genesis 22:1, 12.

In Romanian you say Eva to Eve.

Answer 2

Hopethically, if there was a God (I'm pretending here):

If he knew it was going to happen, why did he get so angry when it did? Obviously he didn't control it, because he would have kept it from happening.

That's why there's this big deal about 'Free Will'. He made available to her the apple, as a test of faith/trust/ect, which I understand, quite clearly.

What I don't understand is why he allowed satan into the mix, that was the cruelty on his part. Something about the Serpent talking eve into eating on the apple.. and she did it... and God actually had the nerve to become surprised and even ANGRY about it.

Oh, and leave it to Adam, the man, to blame Eve the woman for his eating the apple as well, what's that about? She didn't say 'here you go, if you don't eat it, this snake will bite your head off' she just said 'eat it i did', didn't she?

Anyway, if god were controlling them, the apples wouldn't have been eaten, and we'd have been in Eden still today.

Answer 3

1) The character's name was "Eve", not Eva
2) There is no implication within the Bible that the fruit in the Garden of Eden was specifically an apple.
3) If we assume he knew everything, then he's guilty of entrapment. If we assume he didn't know what would happen, then he's not omniscent.
4) If you believe that you had a creator but that this creator plays no real active role in people's lives, then by definition you're a deist.

Since you asked for my opinion, here it is: I find it much easier to make sense of the world when I drop the whole notion of some spooky invisible Big Brother character judging people at every moment.

Answer 4

Friend, I have brought this subject up so many times with the correct answer, So I am going to let you study it for your self, Gen 2:9 God says EVERY TREE that Grows out of the Ground is GOOD FOR FOOD, EVEN the APPLE Tree, But there was 2 trees that was in the midst of the garden That did NOT GROW out of the ground, One was The tree of Life & the other was the tree of knowledge of Good & Evil, What is that tree of life & what is that tree of Knowledge of good & evil. They were not 2 literal trees.They were 2 laws of reproductions, Now everone one can give me the thumbs down, If I had the time & space, I can go into all detial on this subject. But now you all study for yourselfs, & then tell me what you see,It has to do with the Serpent & Eve, & that serpent was Not a snake until God cursed him in Gen. 3:14 Think about it, Yes I have the answer to this whole subject.

Answer 5

It is written in the Holy Bible, God see the end at the beginning itself.
Once I used to think, why did God plant that tree in the garden if he knew the future? But now I realized, God's Mercy endures for ever.
He was giving the fallen Cherub a chance to repent and turn back to God.
He knows very well who all are born into this world at his will and who all with out his will. Those who are born at His will be called as the children of God

Understand, we are just instruments in the hands of God. If we give our self in His hands He will use us.

John 1 :

12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

13Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Answer 6

No, and it was no apple. There were two trees in that garden. One of them was The Lord, ( The Tree of Life ). The other was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, ( satan ). There never was an apple. If she ate and apple she would have covered her lips not her private parts and that's why God said in chapter 6 that it grieved Him in His heart that He created man on earth. May God open all your eyes to the truth and bless your studies.

Answer 7

lol, who's Eva, her name is Eve. And Adam was the one that ate the apple, not her, and ofcourse god knew Adam would eat the apple.

Answer 8

yes, i believe God knew beforehand what Eve will do. i believe God knows everything even before i was born, my past, my present and my future. but i do not believe that He is controlling me like a machine/robot. He has given me freedom to make choices, choices which have their consequences too. He gave us freedom, because love must be free...or it is not love at all! He gave us freedom because He loves us so much!

Answer 9

there is god and there is a judgment day and that day i would like to see you in hell to make you know that there is god and , hell yes god knew that eva will eat the apple , and god know what will happen and know what you will do in the next 50 years in your life

Answer 10

Gen.3:1-5;
Do not touch the tree, means do not touch the tree, no one can eat the fruit if they do not touch the tree.
