Why was the whole human race tarred with Sin when Adam made one error?
After all when God (not a power or a force) saw what He had made, it was proclaimed to be "very good "and also in the bible it says "for everything made by God is good"
So He made everything in creation groan for that one act ??

We are all his descendants. We inherited it.
More accurately, Adam sold us all into slavery to Lucifer. Ever wonder why anyone would do that? I mean, there's a lot of slaves that got sold by their own people.
The Angels who rebelled have eternal damnation coming. No chance for repentance.
God is giving us the opportunity to repent. which is why, in his grace and mercy, he didn't make death from sin instantaneous.
He allows you time to receive atonement.
So, choose to repent while you can.
The rest of creation is not nearly as important to God as the human soul. He values you, so don't neglect his offer of redemption.

Lucifer NEVER rebelled against God. Lucifer is the Roman God of light and warmth. The name Lucifer esists nowhere in the Bible. It was early Christianity that came along AFTER the fact that associated Lucifer with being a devil. The Roman God, Lucifer is credited with bringing illumination (in the form of fire and light) to the Humans. Now, I don't kinow about how YOU feel about that but, I see it as something GOOD, not an act of evil.
However I agree with your point about God making ALL of humanity suffer for the acts of only TWO people. But then again the Bible is chock FULL of stories where the God of Abraham made entire populations of innocents suffer because of the acts of only SOME of those people. So what else is new?

Actually, Genesis contains two creation myths, that have been jammed together and are now read as one. The first is the creation of the world in 7 days, in which a god decides to create man in his image and give him dominion over the earth and every living thing on it. The second myth starts at Genesis 2:4 and shows a god that creates man from dust, not in his image. Man is not given dominion over the earth but rather kept as a pet in the garden of Eden. One story says that we are created in god's image, we are god's children and the world was given to us as a gift. The other story says that we are god's playthings to be kept as long as we behave. The important thing about both of these stories is that they are stories, they are not true, no matter how much religious people claim them to be. None of us are judged by god for the acts of another. None of us are judged by god for our own acts. God does not judge us, god loves the whole of the creation, because god is the creation.

Not all of the angels strayed from total immersion in God, that they would never dream of questioning The Creator, When The Fall was ordered they did not choose to question Gods faults in his divine plan, they instead stayed with God with total Faith.God only sent so many angels with Lucifer; their number was the number of man--6hundred66. That is the best awnser my mind can serve up.------AprilMoon666

As you put it...we are not all tarred with one brush. God gave Adam and Eve a choice...and he continues to give each of us a choice as to whether we follow him or follow Lucifer. The difference comes with the fact that Lucifer (Satan) is loose on the earth now and has the ability to influence us. God knows that we can not be free of sin...he did not cause us not to be free of sin.

There's also that funny matter of not knowing good from evil before eating from the tree. How could they resist the serpent if they didn't know what he was saying was evil? And how would they ever be able to suspect anything if God created everything, including the "evil" serpent?

Well, neither Lucifer nor original sin are traditional Christian doctrines. As for the groaning creation, that has nothing to do with the fall of humanity.

Because we all are born of Adam, sin passes generations. Angels are not born of humans and when Satan was cast out of heaven, took all evil and sin with Him.
You can't compare flesh with spirit, 2 different principles there.

It was either destroy all of His children, or create this world age in which salvation is possible.

Yu need to stop reading all that man made mumbo jumbo in the bible. Also, there is NO Lucifer or Satan or devil or whatever Yu want to call it. Educate yourself and elevate your conciousness.
