In the bible in the begining it says if Eve ate the apple she will die. Satan told her she will be like God therefore knowing evil. so if she became like God then why would she die? Afterall it says she was like God in the begining, so how could she become like God again is she already was like God? Is she was already like god she would have known the difference between good and evil before eating the apple. Also, I am convinced that if God does exist and sent his son to die, he didnt die for everyone. Only the elect, because God assumed that noly those he lvoes, and lvoe him will turn to him. regardless on how much a person wants to come to God, cant. Because God hates them. What a nice God we have hm?

Bless your little mistaken heart.
The "die" in the beginning regarding eating the forbidden fruit, meant to "be separated from God". Eve was "innocent of evil" since God didn't make evil a part of His creatures or creation.
The word "elect" in scripture refers to the Jews, since they were "chosen" to receive the first written law; 10 Commandments with health laws.., that's the only way they were elect and also through them would come genetically/blood-line the Savior of the world: Jesus the Messiah to the Jews, the Savior to the world population. The devil is a liar!!
You don't know much about the facts of Biblical truth and so you have been deceived; like Eve. Eve believed a lie before she sinned. Same with us.
God loves you and sent part of Himself to die for and pay for YOUR particular sins and to reveal Himself to you in the pattern of the man Jesus. If you want to know God and how He loves YOU, read about Jesus in the New Testament. That is the picture of God you need to see clearly. HE LOVES YOU.

No God is not sadistic and no God doesn't hate anyone. Try some Bible study with a Bible study group so you can hear the right side of the story and ask questions that the group can help you understand. It sounds like to me that you are confused and full of anger, the church and some Bible study could help you turn that around. GOD BLESS & GOOD LUCK!!!

God is only good, don't let the books of man drive you nuts... The garden of Eden is simply a story about sex, can you handle this or not, Why cover your stuff with leaves? Where did the kids come from?... OK, now check dis' out... 666=18=R=Richman, this is a Bible Code and this $ is the mark. All the other hints in Revelations fit right in... Now go and sin no more.

To start with, Eve did not eat an apple; it was a fruit! In addition, why are you believing Satan? The way he presented the question to Eve was a total lie. Adam and Eve were created in God's image, meaning, we look similar to how He looks; He did not create Adam and Eve with the same supernatural power or knowledge God possesses. God did not say any of what Satan presented to Eve in form of a question. God planted that tree as a symbol of obedience. "You do not eat from the tree, and you will enjoy everlasting life under My rulership. You eat from the tree and you will not enjoy everlasting life; you are on your own to figure out what is best, or not, for you"...simple.

First off, God IS Love...Its impossible for him to hate....As for Adam, and Eve..Man was created in God's image which means man has one head two eyes one nose two lips two arms two hands 10 fingers etc etc..and in his likeness meaning man has a free will and man has an imagination.
Adam and Eve was Innocent, because they had no knowledge of good and evil. Once they learned the knowledge of good and evil they lost their innocence and Adam bowed to Satan when he did what Eve asked him to do which is what God had asked him not to do. Eve did what Satan asked her to do then she convinced Adam to do it as well, at that moment they lost their connection to God, and Satan became their god,because Adam, by bowing to Satan's will in effect handed everything that God had given him, dominion over,(the whole earth) over to Satan...So God devise a plan , that plan was to send his son to die. The shedding of his pure blood was the price he paid for the sin that Adam committed thus he redeemed us and all creation from Satan's control and bridged the gap,yes! he became the bridge and by him man now again has a connection to God, and EVERYONE who accepts his son as their Lord and Savior IS the elect...God Loves Everyone be they saint or sinner...Its sin its self that God despises...

Well first of all, you missed the point that Satan is the ultimate liar. He would have told Eve anything to get her to sin...that is what he does. Adam and Eve were sinless and pure when they were created, but they were just humans created in the image of God. They weren't godlike.
God loves everyone He created, and would like everyone to be saved. He also gave us free will, so the decision is entirely up to you - regardless of His foreknowledge of how you would feel about Him.

you need to step back from your negative feelings and find out what is causing them. in the first place, God created man with the amazing ability to use reason, logic, their minds, free will, and self control. In order for men and women to make decisions about their own lives. Religion is a guide to give us a direction, but God does not "give" us everything good and make our lives wonderful. What would be the purpose.
Your life is what you make it here on earth. You have obviously made yours into a very negative unhealthy situation at this point; but the great thing about the human mind and spirit is, you can always turn your life around.
God gave humans the ability to choose between the right thing to do and the wrong thing to do. How we use that ability is up to us. That is what separates us from lower forms of animal life.
Good luck to you. Please consider counseling and perhaps therapy to get you started back on the right course.

Wow what a take off.....Lucifer was God's top angel you know, very beautiful.......the angel of music....main problem thought he was equal to or greater than God. How can the creation become equal to or greater than? Can't. Adam & Eve lived in paradise......and were not subject to death. In the temptation Satan knew the repercussions and planted the seed of deception and well knew the weakness due to his own fall. God does not wish that any perish or he would not of become flesh and died on a cross to reconcile his creation unto him . Due to the fact we have a free choice....it is us not God who decides if we follow him or not. He is not gonna twist your arm. He says his ways are easy and his yoke light....your way or his it is up to you.

GOD is loving and merciful, yes - HE gave us the free gift of salvation, eternal life - which many people ironically refuse to accept.
But GOD is also holy and just; and HE demands perfection. The issue is - will you attempt to achieve this perfection on your own or will you accept the blood of JESUS CHRIST and become perfect in GOD's eyes through your faith?
It's really all up to you. GOD is not going to force you to make a decision. For it to have any meaning at all, some things you just have to do on your own.
Good luck on your journey, friend. Hope to see you on the other side!!

God is not sadistict. He is a loving God. But just like all good parents do... He disciplines His children so that they'll grow up to be responsible. If He just simply lets us be, without control or discpline, we would not know the difference between right or wrong. He has given us free will and intellect so we might as well use it to choose the right path. Anybody who thinks God is sadistic has the wrong impression.
