Christians: did God not plan us?

Question

i am not christian so apologize in advance, but my question is about Adam and Eve. People say that they committed a crime by eating that apple, i.e had sex or something. If god didnt plan then, how was he planing for us to come on earth? did he only want Adam and Eve on earth and we are all mistakes???

Answer 1

Eve took a bite of the "forbidden" fruit after being tempted by satan. Then, she enticed Adam to do the same thing. That is all they did. Took a bite of the apple - not sex. God gave them free will and they made a bad choice. God did plan us even though he knew in advance we would sin against Him. He loves us anyway and is patient w/ us.

Answer 2

God did plan on us. He told Adam and Eve to replenish the earth. It was after they ate the fruit that the punishments were given. One of Eve's was that she would have pain in child birth. It's possible that before they sinned there would be no pain in giving birth. All I can say is thank God for technology and epidurals!

Answer 3

God planned on the whole sex thing. To think that Adam and Eve would walk around naked in the garden and not have sex is ridiculous. The fruit was of the knowledge of good and evil. It allowed them to understand their situation and be ashamed of their naked bodies. That is all. God made sure they would reproduce. We are not mistakes.

Answer 4

When the first human pair, Adam and Eve, were placed in the garden of Eden, Jehovah gave them the prospect of everlasting life in an earthly paradise. However, he clearly wanted the earth to be populated by humans who would appreciate their heritage. Hence, he made their future life prospects conditional. Adam and Eve would live in Paradise only as long as they remained subject to their loving Creator.—Genesis 2:17; 3:2, 3, 17-23.
Sadly, Adam and Eve rebelled. Eve chose to listen to Satan the Devil. He lied to her and in effect said that God was withholding something good from her. So she embarked on an independent course and attempted to “be like God, knowing good and bad.” Adam joined her in her rebellion.—Genesis 3:5, 6.
When they sinned in this way, Adam and Eve showed themselves unworthy of living forever. They suffered the disastrous results of sin. Their strength and vitality waned, and eventually they died. (Genesis 5:5) However, their rebellion had far more serious consequences. We are still suffering from the effects of Adam and Eve’s sin. The apostle Paul wrote: “Through one man [Adam] sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned.” (Romans 5:12) Yes, because of the rebellion of Adam and Eve, sin and death spread like a malignant disease through the whole human race

Answer 5

The character of God includes the following:

1.

He created people out of love by making them perfectly righteous and meant to be in a loving fellowship with Him forever.

2.

He created people to have the right and power to make up their own minds to either be a part of His kingdom on earth and in heaven or not.

3.

He created the rules of what would keep them perfectly good, along with the created world, forever.


4.

He warned and commanded them NOT to go against His judgement of what was good for them and the world and what was evil by making up their own rules of good and evil.
**************

They decided to usurp God's right and authority about what was good and evil. They chose to disobey Him and follow the temptation to "be like God" and decide good and evil according to themselves.

Think about it. What causes most trouble in the world? Isn't it people deciding and acting upon their decision to do what they think is good (pleasing to themselves) no matter how it hurts others??? Or even just JUDGING everyone else and how they act???

.....Instead of following what God has said is good for all people as in the 10 Commandments?
