For the first time, God came to the garden of Eden and Adam started acting strange, God never wanted or intended all this evil in the first place Gen3:11-15. The intentions of God are of good and not of evil. If God actually intended such evils in the first place, then God wouldn't have said, in Gen3:13, what is this that thou have done? God was weak. It was a big blow to God that the man He so much trusted could do this to Him.

We know God told Adam and Eve not to eat the forbidden fruit, all Man needed to do is just obey. I personally believe God intended that man should eat the forbidden fruit, just like many are born into the world today, many are into sexual sins and God does not say, okay, let us withdraw their genitals from them, but you know, someone could form an abuse of their genitals like those who sell their possession for money, but the truth is, was that what God put it there for.

The idea behind the forbidden fruit is, man eat the forbidden fruit at a time when was not proper like many of us do and have formed an habit of doing all unspeakable things, but God intended that this be used for reproduction, not personal gains.

The forbidden fruit has its time when man could eat, that was why in Gen 3:22, God said, man has become, remember, Gen 1:26 said, let us make man in our own image, in our own likeness, but if you would take this, Heb2:8-9, it SAID, BUT WE SEE NOT ALL THINGS, man was not completely formed and the perfect time for man to eat the fruit was after the completion of that formation. I believe we as Man from the beginning was to be Christ, see. Heb2:8-9, Eph 1:23, Eph 4:13, Gal4:19, Heb 12:2, Matt 28:20

Gen 1:26, Psalms 115:16 and Heb2:6-8(v8 especially). This verses tells us of all that God has giving to us, evidently, God gave all to us without leaving anything out on earth that He did not give to us. After man fell, everything that rightfully belongs to man, no wonder God was lamenting, and saying to Eve, you don't know the extent of what your decision would cost. Eve might have not known the implications of what she and Adam did.

Evidently, when the devil was speaking, he never told them man shall die, death in that sense meant, things would cease to be as it was, and there haven't existed death before then, so we should think it meant physical death, yeaa, someone said, the spiritual controls the physical, the devil knows that if Man dies spiritually, man would belong to him(satan). Seeing that the man has attained a personage who knows good and evil, he just had to capitalize on making more evil of man.

One question to ask is, does Jesus when He came to earth know evil, evidently Jesus came to destroy the work of the wicked, but He never did evil, Heb2:18, Heb4:15, Jesus was at all point tempted, but because He prays often and has perfect understanding of Gods word, He was able to overcome, I close by saying, watch and pray lest you become the tool of the devil. Shalom

Yahweh couldn't control himself over a simple matter of an apple. God his father will never go emotional over such nonsense.

Satan's offence was greater yet he wasnt given death punishment. Ordinary apple adam chop, him and him descendant start to die while satan and his demons keeps hovering. After someone will tell me how small theives are jailed while big theives like our politicians are moving freely. No be una god start am? Why the double standard?

@OP and others. There are some things in your posts I feel I need to address.

First of all, the Bible is silent on the nature of the forbidden fruit. It doesn't say if it's an Apple or otherwise.

Secondly, it is silent as to the genus of the forbidden fruit or what it represents. What Gen. 2:16,17 says is that man was commanded to eat from every tree of the garden to satisfaction except the one in the middle of the garden of the knowledge of good and evil. The punishment for disobeying was death. Genesis 3:3 goes further to say that they should not even touch it.
It is apparent therefore that this tree of the knowledge of good and bad symbolised God's right to determine for his creatures what is "good" and what is "evil'. As such, it is wrong for you to say that God put the tree there because he knew they would eat from it or that it was his intention for them. It was a very simple test that brings to mind Jesus's words at Luke 16:10

"He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much."

It was their act of disobedience that lead to the original sin. Adam and Eve were not robots, they had free will. If they had respected God's instructions, they would have received his approval. So the real issue was that they rebelled against God's right to decide for them.

Finally, a better title for this post could be "God was very angry and hurt." You need not present Him as a weak person. He is the most powerful being in the universe.

Thanks.

Can you send your own children out of house because they ate a fruit you asked them not to touch at the very first time they did so? Wake up, that is really an emotional issue with Yahweh, one of the creatures of God Almighty. He is emotionally very very weak even according to the Doctufos history.

Doctufos: Bellorum 5:33


Bellorum 5 : 33

33. And the Almighty God said, that which you speak is not the reason for the violence of Yahweh. Rather, he lacked the character called tolerance, which makes everything in the universe to co-habit.

A foremost quality of God is justice. Job 37:23 puts it this way

"Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict."

He blesses or punishes his creatures based on their acts. Still, his justice is balanced with mercy. Recall that before Adam and his wife sinned, they knew that death was the penalty for disobeying God. Still they willfully disobeyed. If God did not carry out his word, the angels in heaven, his Son, the devil and humans would view him as someone not reliable, undependable and a liar.

Even with his just decision on mankind, he did not leave us the children of Adam without hope. He provided Jesus Christ whose life corresponded perfectly to the life Adam lost. That's why Jesus is called "the last Adam". So you see, with this wise intervention by God, he is able to reestablish a relationship with sinful humans while still not marring his reputation as a God of justice.

In your illustration about the child, the difference is that Adam was perfect, while humans today and their children are not. In fact, they're bearing the consequences of the original sin. Adam and his wife got their punishment which was death, but the child doesn't.

Finally, the fact that God has feelings like us shows that we were actually created in his image. That does not make him 'emotionally very very weak' as you claim. In fact, 1 Cor 1:25 states that

"...the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men".

As for the source you cited, it's not part of God's inspired word, the Bible and as such has no value in this discussion.

Thanks.

Just because you are trying to defend Yahweh you quoted these plenty lies? Well, it is very very glaring according to the DOCTUFOS OF TRUTH which I posted earlier. God Almighty specifically mentioned the problem with Yahweh which is intolerance. Only a blind person won't notice that God was right about the intolerant nature of Yahweh.
