Were Adam and Eve....?

Question

Were Adam and Eve in a state of perfection or grace before they sinned by eating of the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden?

Were they in a state of perfection or grace?

Answer 1

They were in the state of Grace and because they repented from sin they are still in the state of grace. crucifixion is a lie.

Answer 2

Yes. Think about it this way, before they ate from the tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, they had a direct relationship with God. They had no shame, no evil thoughts, no hatred... By sinning, they created that gap between us and God and thus lost their state of grace. Many speculate why God put the tree there in the first place, but it was his way of showing that as much as he loves us, he will always let us have choice.

In Adam's original state before he sinned, what nature did he have? Did God's Holiness abide in Adam's being? This is another tough question. This is what I have found in God's Word:

Rom 14: NKJV
14 I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

1 Tim 4: ESV
4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.

What I see here then, is that nothing is evil and nothing is Holy, unless we do something about it. Therefore, Adam was neither unclean nor sanctified. He was in a neutral state given opportunity by God to choose. Adam had not eaten of the Tree of Life, in fact God chased him out of Eden before Adam could eat it.

Answer 4

According to the Quran God had forgiven Adam & Eve pbt......

Quran Sura 20 Ta-ha.
They both ended up eating the fruit of the forbidden tree. As a result their private parts became apparent to them and they both began to cover themselves with the leaves from the Garden. Thus did Adam disobey
His Lord and go astray.[121] Later on Adam repented and his Lord chose him, accepted his repentance and gave him guidance,[122] saying: "Get down from here all of you (Adam, Eve and Iblees); you will remain enemies to one another, whenever there comes to you guidance from Me and whosoever will follow My guidance will neither go astray nor get into trouble;[123] but the one who will turn away from My reminder shall live a meager life and We shall raise him back to life as a blind person on the Day of Resurrection."[124] He will say: "O Lord! Why have you raised me up
blind here, while I was clear-sighted before?"[125] Allah will say: "Just as Our
revelation came to you and you played blind; so are you blind today."[126] Thus do We reward the one who is a transgressor and does not believe in the revelations of his Lord. The punishment of the Hereafter is more terrible and more lasting.[127]

Answer 5

It's actually vague. All we know is that their creation is "good". However, it doesn't mean that they were perfect. Rather, they had a potential for perfection. In computer analogy, they appear as an empty hard drive. But by sinning only once, that potential is void.

Answer 6

Adam was for certain, Eve did not appear until AFTER God told ADAM not to eat of that tree. Eve had no idea of the conditions to live in that special place.

Answer 7

I don't know. I wasn't there. But it seems to me if they didn't know the difference between good and evil, then they couldn't have known that they should obey God before they ate from the Tree of Knowledge. Hmmmmm.

Answer 8

They were perfect before they ate from the tree of knowledge.

Answer 9

They were innocent.
That is all.
To be in God's presence would by proximity, give them grace.
But He was not with them all the time. Only visited them in the evenings.
They were obviously far from perfect.
Adam had odd eyes.
XD
