If God Is All Knowing, Why Didn't He Prevent Adam And Eve From Eating The Apple by funkmrflexx(m): 8:58pm On Sep 21, 2022
Me and my wife had an argument this morning.
God is all knowing and before creating Adam and even, He know what they would do. He knew they would be Tempted and they would eat the fruit and bring Sin to the world and He also knows that His son would have to die in order to save us from the sin caused by the fruit
Why didn't He just make the fruit inaccessible to them so they don't eat it.
But instead He Allowed them to get access to the fruit, eat and bring sin to the world.

Mind you, He's all knowing and He knows all this would happen before they did. He knew Satan would tempt them and they will fall, He also knew that He would have to curse them when they eat the fruit.

Why not just prevent this by making the fruit inaccessible to them. That's the logical thing to do

He knew it would happen before creating man. He knew that the only way to remove sin was to let His only son die. Why not just prevent it from happening at all.

You need to take time to understand why God created all of this to begin with and what He instead to gain from all of this. God's plan from the beginning was to build for Himself a people to serve Him and Sons and heirs to His Kingdom. He didn't want Robots... and so it had to be this way, I think. undecided

Preventing them from accessing the fruit doesn't make them robots.

And besides God loved what he created and He knows that if they eat the fruit, the perfect thing He created would be destroyed. Why not just prevent it?


For example, if I build a house and I put 2 tenants in the house, I love the house very much but there's a thief in the area that if he gets into my compound will likely lead my tenants astray which will lead to the destruction of that my beloved compound. The logical thing to do is to remove the thief from from the area by getting him arrested and sending him to jail so he won't disturb my tenant. And also if the compound is destroyed, my only son will have to go through the stress of rebuilding the compound.
And I know all these would happen before building the compound.
So I will make sure that even before I put tenants in that my compound I will make sure that the thief won't disturb them by putting him in jail.

It seems more are finally seeking understanding, though the person the response below was to wasn't in the end.

The story is more like programming, as in, how some want to create you. Any person with a brain would object to a God who lies that you would die if you eat the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil then you eat and do not die.

And before anyone claims Adam and Eve died when they ate, just you note what they achieved after eating and how long they lived after.



budaatum:
I think it does make sense.

Evidence shows that some are created in God's image to rule and subdue and dominate and be blessed, while some are created naked from mud to slave in the Garden of Eden and not eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil for fear that they will die.

Thankfully, there's also a certain unbelieving Eve who used her own senses to check if she would die if she ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil only to find it good for food and for opening eyes and for gaining wisdom and for freeing from slavery in Eden from where she went in to be self employed and populated the earth with humans who are now on the way to rule over and subdue and dominate the moon and Mars.

The question then becomes, are you created in God's Image or are you descendants of stupid ignorant Adam, or at least use her own senses Eve?

If He knew that they would disobey. There are 2 things

1: He won't have created them
2: He would remove the thing that would make the sin. Since he knew they would disobey even if He instructed them not to eat it


It's like lighting a candle and telling a stubborn child not to play with the candle. You know the child is stubborn and won't hear. And you know if the child plays with the candle, he would burn down the house.
The best thing is to remove the candle so the child won't have anything to play with. It's that simple

Do you not go ahead with a business plan that promises an eventual return on your investment, in the multitudes, simply because you are aware that you might incur significant amount of losses In the first couple of years of investing? undecided

Well you can't compare a business plan with the creation of Adam and Eve because God is all knowing.

And the only return in the creation story was Jesus coming to die for us to reconcile us back to God. All these could have been prevented

1. This is about comparing a business but instead about getting you to think according to how the story is actually told to you. undecided

2. Wrong! You need to get rid of the stories you have been fed by others of what is written and actually read the book for yourself in order to understand what God's plan has been from the beginning and how it is all realized in the end. undecided

Obviously, Cain married one of his sisters just like his other brothers did. undecided

For Pete's sake, Eve was Adam's own clone and they married each other. So why would there have been a need to create "other people" for them to marry? undecided

This isn't rocket science abeg! If Adam and Eve were clones and married each other, and they were both the only male and female created, where do you figure their sons would have sourced partners from? undecided

Cain left for the land of Nod does not mean that Cain went alone to the Land of Nod,nor does it mean family cannot go to visit Cain in Nod, nor does it mean one of his sisters could not visit him and stay with him in the land of nod even as his wife. undecided

I mean if you really need to be spoonfed these things, then I suggest you stay away from scripture cause it requires you to use the understanding you have - even basic human language comprehension - just as you would any other book out there. undecided

Same way you know that your children will write exams (all knowing) so you also know that they can pass exams (as well as fail them).But you already know.

You also know that when they fail their exams their lives in your house will never be the same and you would curse them for disgracing you.

So Everything God did on that day, too do it everyday eg You already fore-know that your trusted staff can still steal your money kept in your office.

That is one logical thing but not the only one for when the thief gets out of prison, he can still come back to disturb your tenants, so your problems continue.

So another logical one is to leave that house vacant (as is also your right).

Another one is to put your tenants in one of your other bad houses (hell) that you do not care for

Or Another one is to play to go for the glowry that inspite of the thief's attack, your tenants prevailed over the bastard and the bastard shamefully ran away from your house, which is even a permanent solution to the thief's attack.

That is another logical solution.

Mrs Adam committed adultery with Satan and gave birth to girls first which is why women are evil and why God does not like women.

Which is why she hala as she was still committing paternity fraud and lying, "I have gotten a man from God". Meaning, all her first children, where women.

And of course nature has already shown us that women can easily born girls but there seems to be something about boys, which is why when they birth a boy, they rejoice and are proud. "I don born boy o"

With these, one can clearly see why God is very far from women but prefers the man.

Have you not noted that God Himself planted the tree of knowledge of good and evil Himself in the midst of the garden!

The tree had a purpose!
It was an examination with consequences!
