Because then there wouldn't be all of the pain, misery and drama...but wait, you are talking about the OT God, isn't he different than the NT one?

forgiveness means not holding accountable in the eternal sense. There are still consequences that come, but Adam and Eve were forgiven in a sense that they still had the chance to go to Heaven.

Because they were already warned of the consequences and made a willfull decision to disobey.Adam saw Eve eating the forbidden fruit , knew what it was and ate it anyway.Eve decided that she didn't want to be subserviant to God,and wanted to be a goddess.Would you forgive a murderer with blood on his hands?

I think He did. Adam and Eve were righteous people after they left the garden of Eden.

He did, but Adam and Eve were disobedient to God, therefore they had to suffer the consequenses of their disobedience. God disciplines us as we are His own~!

To test them.
To see if they have faith.

He did. adam eve didn't die and went on to have children and live a long time. it's very (easliy) possibe for punishment and forgiveness to occur in the same situation. and please don't listen to "Llen"

The Bible says that they were punished. It says nothing about them being condemned to Hell.

Just because someone is forgiven, doesn't mean that they don't have to pay consequences for their actions

yeah i kinda was thinking the same. if hes all knowing he knew they would eat it. but i figured thats the point. its freedom of choice. they can follow satan if they want but he will get mad. what would of happened had God not been mad? thats the question.
