... and be naked and then have make love with Mother Eve, how do you expect Mother Eve to get pregnant? So Adam must have sinned by eating the apple, so that eventually he would sleep with Mother Eve according to God's Divine Design.
If so be the case, shouldn't God The All Wise and Loving then forgive Adam and Eve after they have sinned without having to resort to crucifying his only begotten son?
If Mother Eve got pregnant anyway without Adam having to eat the apple (thus sinning), would we be living in Paradise now? Would Christ still have to be Crucified?

I'm not saying Adam sinned by having sex with Eve-- I'm saying that Adam sinned for eating the apple, and after that they became naked and had to cover themselves with leaves, before eventually sleeping together.

If Adam and Eve wouldn't have sinned, there would be no need for us to be saved, and for Jesus to die.

It's a bit complicated like your question but here you go. When God created Adam and Eve, they were given only two main commandments. To have children and don't eat the fruit (not nothing ever said it was an apple) of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. In my opinion starting with Eve, they realized both commandment could not be realized together. They both took the fruit so that they could have children. It was not a "sin", it was a transgression. they couldn't sin at all in there innocence and it was something that had to be done for all of us. Christ came to earth to redeem mankind for it’s own sins, not for Adam’s.
Yes, Adam and eve are forgiven because they didn’t know what they did until after they did it, just like a kid. And it had to be done for mankind to exist. No, We would not be living in a paradise if they didn’t “sin”; we wouldn’t be here at all. Eve, would not and could not get pregenant until after the fall. In fact we have no idea how long Adam and Eve were in the garden before they ate the fruit. 1 day, month, year, or a million years.
Again, Christ was sacrificed for us individually, because we sin; not for Adam. So as lomg as we are here we need Christ. “God The All Wise and Loving” knew exactly what to do and what is going on from minute one, You can’t surprise him.

Are you saying that having sex is a sin? Your question have so many mistaken concepts! As a matter of fact, who told you that the fruit was an apple?
God told them to be "fruit full and multiply"... in order to do so they had to have sex.
The sin that they committed was disobedience to God by eating the fruit - the Bible doesn't say that it's an apple.
If Adam and Eve didn't disobey God, then the earth would have been filled with perfect people, hence Jesus wouldn't have had a reason to come to earth and be crucified.

Adam and Eve making love was not the sin that God was angry about; it was the eating the fruit of the ONE tree in Paradise that God told them to stay away from.

If Adam and Eve didnt sin then the Bible says women would not have to undergo pains of labour in pregnancy.
Maybe pregnancy would not be what it is.
Perhaps binary fission would have been a more feasible and painless option that the creator had planned.

It is symbolic man! God asked Adam "Who told you that you were naked?" The fruit is right and wrong- good and evil , letting the mind judge all that IS. Be free of the dualities of mind and Be Still and Know I AM God. Every time we let our mind perceive a judgement on what IS, we have crucified Christ again, eaten the fruit again.

i think that god want it to be that way, if he didnt want adam and eve out of haven he shouldnt create the apple tree or satan in the first place i mean he knew what was going to happen and he let it happen.
also in islam they belive " not me" that every thing we do is predetermin by god it mean that any thing we gonna do god chose that for us . so we are just zombies doing what god want us to do . and we dont have free will. so adam and eve were sepose to sin in all cases

I don't agree with your concept. What makes you think that Adam didn't sleep with Eve prior to their error? Are you equating sex with sin?

You bring many (mistaken) beliefs to the question. The original pair were told to populate the earth. Sex is not sin, it is obedience (in the right context).

Who says it was an apple....might want to read the story before asking questions..you are so wrong in so many ways.
Fools names and fools faces often appear in public places.
