Answer 1

Because the christian god is extremely vindictive, and has a long memory.

Answer 2

Genesis also says;

God says that if Adam eats from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, then the day that he does so, he will die. But later Adam eats the forbidden fruit (3:6) and yet lives for another 930 years (5:5). 2:17

As a punishment for killing Abel, God says Cain will be "a fugitive and a vagabond." Yet in just a few verses (4:16-17) Cain will settle down, marry, have a son, and build a city. This is not the activity one would expect from a fugitive and a vagabond. 4:12

God promises Abram and his descendants all of the land of Canaan. But both history and the bible (Acts 7:5 and Heb.11:13) show that God's promise to Abram was not fulfilled. 13:15, 15:18, 17:8, 28:13-14

How long was the Egyptian captivity? This verse says 400 years, but Ex.12:40 and Gal.3:17 say 430 years. 15:13

"In the fourth generation they [Abraham's descendants] shall come hither again." But, if we count Abraham, then their return occurred after seven generations: Abraham, Isaac (Gen.21:1-3), Jacob (Gen.25:19-26), Levi (Gen.35:22-23), Kohath (Ex.6:16), Amramn (Ex.6:18), and Moses (Ex.6:20). 15:16

God promises Abram's descendants the land of Canaan from the Nile to the Euphrates. But according to Acts 7:5 and Heb.11:13 God's promise to Abram was not fulfilled. 15:18

God promises to make Isaac's descendents as numerous as "the stars of heaven", which, of course, never happened. The Jews have always been, and will always be, a small minority. 26:4

God renames Jacob twice (32:28, 35:10 ). God says that Jacob will henceforth be called Israel, but the Bible continues to call him Jacob anyway (47:28-29). And even God himself calls him Jacob in 46:2. 32:28, 35:10

God calls Jacob Jacob, though he said in Gen.32:28 and 35:10 that he would no longer be called Jacob but Israel. 46:2

God promises to bring Jacob safely back from Egypt, but Jacob dies in Egypt (Gen.47:28-29) 46:3

The tribe of Judah will reign "until Shiloh," but Israel's first king (Saul) was from the tribe of Benjamin (Acts 13:21), and most of the time after this prophecy there was no king at all. 49:10

"He washed his garments in wine ... His eyes shall be red with wine."
Did Judah really wash his clothes in wine? Were his eyes bloodshot from drinking too much? Or is this a prophecy of Jesus? (I didn't know Jesus had a drinking problem.) 49:11-12

Contrary to the prophecy in 48:21, Joseph died in Egypt, not Israel. Gen.50:24

Answer 3

muslims don't believe that they carry the sin of adam and eve, a simple fact in islam is: each soul or every human being is responsible for the sins that he has comitted and that's that.
the idea of jesus criscified to save the human race is not true at all. HE WAS NOT CRUSCIFIED.
god is merciful, he forgave adam and eve for thier sin. how can you believe that a merciful god would kill his own son??!!!!!!!
jesus is a human being, not a son of god. his own birth was a merical, and every prophet possesses a miracle given to him by god. why do you people think jesus special to the degree of making him the son of god?!!!
he's a prophet and I believe in him as a messanger of god and that's that.

Answer 4

We are not personally guilty for their sin, but the curse was passed on to the whole human race. Christ died to bring the whole human race back to God. Adams sin was forgiven by the work of Christ, therefore the whole human race has been reconciled.

Answer 5

We arent you are reading the doctrine of man. Not that of God. Read the first book of Gensis for the correct and holy creation of man.

Adam and Eve are the dream of mankind.

Answer 6

We have done much worse on our own. They have thrown off the mold, but we still make the mistakes that cause us to condemn ourselves. So in short, we are guilty of our own mistakes as well. Good thing we are so easily forgiven.

Answer 7

Not guilty, just able to sin.
Sin is a choice that was produced by her actions and through the blood of Jesus it can be washed away!

Answer 8

Ever heard of the statement "what goes around comes around " Divorce comes around to the children of divorce 1 zillion times and it isn't fun.

Answer 9

Eve was thoroughly deceived by Satan the Devil, but “Adam was not deceived,” says the apostle Paul. (1Ti 2:14) With full knowledge Adam willfully and deliberately chose to disobey and then as a criminal he tried to hide. When brought to trial, instead of showing sorrow or regret or asking for forgiveness, Adam attempted to justify himself and pass the responsibility off on others, even blaming Jehovah for his own willful sin. “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree and so I ate.” (Ge 3:7-12) So Adam was cast out of Eden into an unsubdued earth that was cursed to produce thorns and thistles, there to sweat out an existence, harvesting the bitter fruits of his sin. Outside the garden, awaiting death, Adam fathered sons and daughters, the names of only three being preserved—Cain, Abel, and Seth. To all of his children Adam passed on hereditary sin and death, since he himself was sinful.—Ge 3:23; 4:1, 2, 25.

This was the tragic start Adam gave the human race. Paradise, happiness, and everlasting life were forfeited, and in their place sin, suffering, and death were acquired through disobedience. “Through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned.” “Death ruled as king from Adam down.” (Ro 5:12, 14)

As a help in your understanding the situation, think of what happens when a baker bakes bread in a pan that has a dent in it. A mark will show on all the bread that is baked in that pan. Adam became like that pan, and we are like the bread. He became imperfect when he broke God’s law. It was as if he received a dent or a bad mark. So when he had children all of them received this same mark of sin or imperfection. The hereditary blemish of sin and the penalty of death would be transmitted from the parents to children. Even the most upright and God-fearing parents produce sin-infected children.—Ps 51:5.

“The wages sin pays is death,” says Romans 6:23. The same verse adds: “But the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Despite our sinful condition, we can enjoy priceless blessings because of the ransom. “God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son,” says John 3:16.
Jesus himself said: “He that exercises faith in the Son has everlasting life.” (John 3:36) He gave himself a corresponding ransom for all. (1Tim 2:6)

Answer 10

we are NOT...... we are born into sin because of what Adam did.... he was and is guilty of the one thing that God forbade him to do...... eat of the tree of knowlegde.... we have inside us the ability to *sin* because of that...... that ole *sin nature* is inherint from Adam..... I believed the same has you, until I did a in depth study, realy read my bible and began to understand....... when we believe the gospel, that Christ, died, was burried and rose from the grave, we are taken back into communion with God.... we are NO LONGER part of old Adam, he has died in us and we are born into the citizenship of heaven.......... God bless

Answer 11

Because there are tons of things 'God' is telling us we shouldn't do on a daily basis that we willfully disobey.

(I believe it's actually people telling other people there are things they shouldn't be doing and others disobey...but that's just my opinion)
