You are really really funny walahi talahi instead of asking questions you want to make a decision based on what you have no knowledge about.
Well if you must know the nation of Israel has been condemned by the true God so they have no business with the God who sent Jesus to the world!

Josywhyte:
Mention one please.

Ọmọ they are not celebrities o so even if i mention any of them by name you can't know them but why not ask for qualities Jesus said they will possess for us to identify them in the human society?🙂

Josywhyte:
Do we have any holy person in this world?

YES!

Yorimichi:
Like If the curse is not a punishment on individuals, but merely a consequence of Adam's rebellion, then we're still left with innocent people, including infants babies, suffering and dying because of something they never chose. Whether we call it "punishment" or "consequence," the moral issue remains the same.

I have told you earlier that God doesn't know any of us until we choose to be His friend so whether adults or babies we are all enemies from God's standpoint {Psalms 51:1} we must love His standard or leave His planet! Ezekiel 18:31

Yorimichi:
Regarding Ezekiel 18, your explanation is possible, but the chapter's main point is broader: God repeatedly emphasizes individual responsibility. That seems difficult to reconcile with the idea that all humanity continues to suffer because of a single ancestor's act thousands of years ago.

Who will remove the suffering if we are not sure of what caused it?
So for God to remove it and see to it that this will never be repeated we must all agree never to try going back to what Adam did!

Yorimichi:
On John 9, Jesus did more than reject parental guilt. He explicitly rejected the assumption that the man's blindness was caused by someone's sin. That seems to push against the idea that every instance of suffering is traceable to personal wrongdoing.

God didn't inflict suffering rather it started from the day Adam and Eve turned their back on God so the solution lies with complete obedience to God through whatever means He chooses to redeem us.

Yorimichi:
And on the curse itself: if God imposed the curse and has the power to remove it, why allow it to continue for thousands of years? If the purpose is to prove that human rule fails, wouldn't an omniscient God already know that outcome? Why must billions of humans and countless animals suffer through the demonstration?

You keep on going back on what i have told you that God never claim to be Omniscient. The billions you are seeing are nothing but dust to God {Genesis 2:7} so it's after we have been redeemed that God will views us as His children. John 1:11-12

Yorimichi:
Finally, saying that everyone will eventually learn that human rulers fail doesn't fully address the original question. The issue isn't whether human governments are imperfect. The issue is why a just and loving God would choose a system in which untold suffering becomes the means of teaching that lesson. Hope this puts a lit on this.

Well God has set a time when He will put an end to all of these but until then we must humbly seek righteoness from God! Zephaniah 2:2-3

kppo:
A) I have faith because I am a believer
or
B) I am a believer because I have faith

Faith is the assured expectation of what is hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities that are not seen. For by means of it, the men of ancient times had witness borne to them. Hebrews 11:1-2

Faith is only evident through the actions of those possessing it i don't have to declare that i have faith or that i am a believer rather it's observers that should speak about me after watching how i do things in harmony with my brothers and sisters in the faith.

That is why I also, since I have heard of the faith that you have in the Lord Jesus and the love that you demonstrate toward all the holy ones, Ephesians 1:15

Here it's Paul speaking of the faith that Christians in Ephesus demonstrated towards Christ's anointed brothers. Matthew 25:40

Maintain your conduct fine among the nations, so that when they accuse you of being wrongdoers, they may be eyewitnesses of your fine works and, as a result, glorify God in the day of his inspection. 1Peter 2:12

Here Peter is saying even though most people don't welcome faith in Christ and they often speak badly about us {Matthew 5:11-12} these unbelievers will see the fine works of faith among us and become convinced that we surely have something worthwhile among us!

mysticwarrior:
This argument assumes Adam fully grasped the long-term outcomes in the same way we speculate today, but Genesis doesn’t present it that way. It presents a simple act of disobedience rooted in temptation, not a calculated rejection of “future benefits.”

This is what God told Adam:

God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so. ‭Genesis 1:28-30 NIV‬

So Adam knew he owns everything as God's Son! Luke 3:38

mysticwarrior:
Also, framing Adam as someone who would have ruled the planet as an autonomous “owner” misses the core theological point: in the text, dominion was always under God’s authority, not independent ownership.
Finally, comparing Adam’s fall to Jesus’ temptation oversimplifies both narratives.

The same applies to Jesus everything belongs to his father and God Jesus only stands as heir just as Adam would have been {Genesis 1:26-30} if he didn't fall for the bait! Hebrew 1:2
No wonder Apostles Paul equated both Jesus and Adam! 1Corinthans 15:45

mysticwarrior:
Jesus wasn’t “tested between instant benefits and confusion,” but between obedience and misuse of power very different moral and spiritual contexts.

It's the same thing!
Adam was tested between obedience and power!
This was the offer Satan made to Adam and his wife:
“You certainly will not die. For God knows that in the very day you eat from it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and bad" Genesis 3:4-5
To Adam and his wife Satan is saying they won't have to answer or rely on God anymore rather they will become Gods on their own: authority over everything that exists!🙂

mysticwarrior:
Wouldn’t it have been foolish for Jesus to give in to Satan’s temptations, knowing fully well that fulfilling His mission would make Him supreme in authority second only to God and that even the devil would one day tremble at His name?

Adam knew the whole planet and everything in it belongs to him yet he fell for the bait.
Imagine if Adam never rebelled against God these are the goodies that awaits him:
(1) As God's Son {Luke 3:38} on planet earth he will answerable only to God while all others takes instructions from him.
(2) He will control all the resources on planet earth as the one given the power to act as owner of all things. Genesis 1:28
(3) He would have lived till today as a youth who is highly respected by everyone on this planet.
But despite this future prospects Adam fell for Satan's bait so Satan believed Jesus could also be confused as to choose between instant benefits and what he had to suffer before earning!🙂

Next time don't challenge what the Bible says because it's not just a book fabricated by some self acclaimed prophet!🤣

mysticwarrior:
And you expect Jesus Christ who has already lived and see all the beautiful things in heaven to fall for that kind of temptation?

⅓ of other heavenly beings fell for Satan's proposal. Revelation 12:4
So Satan believed Jesus is not different because Jesus is also one of God's sons!

Excellent intellectual response in reverse
Why make it that to understand scripture you loose the rational ability?

Surely you must bow to the Bible and call it "SCRIPTURES" because its inspired word of the true God but that your book is just man-made up stories that's why you can't quote any answer directly from it.

Meanwhile there still remains no verse in that your book regarding where the first human couple were created your book leaves room for different interpretations that is why you too ended up just like most Muslims saying:

Quran 54:54–55 states that the righteous will be in gardens and rivers, near a Sovereign, Perfect in Ability. It does not specifically say this is the same heaven from which Adam was sent down.

Where was Adam living before he was sent from heaven?🤣

Euthiopian traditional religion NOT CHRISTIANS!🙂

Yorimichi:
That view raises a few questions. If God sees all humans merely as extensions of Adam's punishment until some future point, why does the Bible repeatedly speak of individuals being judged according to their own actions even now? For example, Ezekiel 18 explicitly says, "The son will not bear the guilt of the father."

When God brought the Israelites from Egypt to the promised land He told them that their wrongdoings will affect their children {Exodus 20:5} so wicked ones among them concluded that they will live anyhow they choose since it's their descendants that will pay for their blunders so God sent Ezekiel to correct their wrong thinking that each wicked person will be punished for his errors. What God meant initially is that when a person chooses to be evil his children will know and learn a lesson not to follow his footstep but when any of his children, grandchildren up to the fought generation chooses to follow his footstep then God will bring back the error of their great grandfather upon such one.

Yorimichi:
Also, if people today "deserve whatever happens to them" simply because they descend from Adam, then suffering, disease, abuse, and the death of infants would be punishments inflicted on individuals who never personally chose Adam's rebellion. That seems difficult to reconcile with the idea of a just judge who does not punish children for their parents' sins.

God is not punishing us for Adam's sin rather the curse brought upon the planet remains until God's Kingdom (government) begin. So until then the ground remain cursed

Yorimichi:
Romans 5 does teach that Adam's sin affected humanity, but it does not necessarily follow that every tragedy that befalls a person is something they deserve. In fact, Jesus rejected that assumption when discussing victims of disasters and people born blind (Luke 13:1–5; John 9:1–3).

Jesus answered the question based on what those people asked:
“Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, so that he was born blind?” John 9:3
It's Adamic sin which brought a curse upon the planet that's affecting us not the sin of our parents God only punishes a wicked person who chooses to follow the footstep of his wicked ancestor.

Yorimichi:
Again how can you claim to understand the standpoint of God?

A diligent study of the Bible explains it when God cursed the ground everyone is affected unless you are not living on this planet and the curse came as a result of Adam's rebellion.
So when God later promised to bless the planet {Psalms 67:6-7} He is talking about the time when His own government will reign in all the earth! Matthew 6:10

Note how the Psalmist put this words:

The earth will give its produce; God, our God, will bless us. God will bless us, And all the ends of the earth will fear him. Psalms 67:6-7

By that time all inhabitants of planet earth would have come to know that it's wrong to choose humans as rulers over us! 1Samuel 8:10-18

Yorimichi:
If God thinks deeply before acting, then there must be a good reason for animals suffering, children dying, and entire populations enduring misery. Simply saying God has the power to do it doesn't answer why it is morally right for those who never chose the actions being punished.

From God's standpoint Adam is the only human being punished you and i are strangers to Him until we gain perfection then He will start dealing with each person according to his or her deeds. Today whatever happens to us is like Adam still suffering for what he brought upon himself. Romans 5:12
He promised to give each honest hearted and sincere individual a chance to live in Paradise for 1,000 years where there won't be death or suffering it's after the 1,000 years that God will start dealing with each of us as an individual but for now we are all children of the rebellious man Adam who deserves whatever happens to them!

Yorimichi:
Also, if he truly isn't omniscient then how does he prophecy about the future and how is it so certain each and every one of his prophecies will surely come to pass 🤷🏽😏

God has all the power to do whatever He wants what most people do get wrong about Him is His way of judging matters. He is not power drunk like humans who doesn't think before they act simply because they have the ability God thinks deeply before acting on issues.
All things both visible and invisible were created by Him {Revelation 4:11} so He can take away the energy sustaining them at will!

So now you want to interpret Bible shey?🤣
Ọmọ go and rest this is not your book!🤣

Yorimichi:
Brotherly doesn't that seem cruel, inhumane and unjust I mean that still means innocent creatures are being punished for someone else's actions. If a human ruler cursed an entire planet and caused billions of animals to suffer because of one person's mistake, we would call that unjust. Why should the same standard not apply to God? And if God chose to curse the ground, then the suffering of animals is ultimately a result of God's decision, not the animals' actions. They had no free will in the matter, no understanding of the command, and no opportunity to choose differently.

The planet and everything on it was designed for the pleasure of Adam who is God's son {Luke 3:38} so from God's standpoint they are Adam's properties they don't have such value before God unlike their owner who is under punishment.
Read what God's heavenly Son uttered regarding other creatures:

"So have no fear; you are worth more than many sparrows" Matthew 10:31

So don't view any other creature as man because from God's standpoint they are just like man's properties! 🙂

Yorimichi:
But that still doesn't explain why innocent beings suffer. You don't see it that way ? 😏
If suffering and death entered the world because humans misused their free will, why do animals suffer from disease, predation, starvation, parasites, natural disasters, and extinction? Animals didn't choose to disobey God, don't understand moral laws, and aren't moral agents.🫠
Why should creatures incapable of sin bear the consequences of a problem they didn't create?

All the creatures were placed under the control of Adam (man) on planet earth so when the ground is cursed all living creatures on the planet suffers!


To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’ “Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life. ‭Genesis 3:17 NIV‬


From that moment the ground is filled with negative effects affecting everything on planet earth!

Discipline your children, and they will give you peace; they will bring you the delights you desire. ‭Proverbs 29:17 NIV‬


How were children of this generation raised?

Both parents, religious leaders, elders in the community and high officials raised their children to become greedy and selfish. When God's word taught us to be contented with whatever we have influencers teaches them to become rich at all cost.
So this generation is reaping what they sowed.
With regards to security this is what the true God has to say:


But since you refuse to listen when I call and no one pays attention when I stretch out my hand, since you disregard all my advice and do not accept my rebuke, I in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you; I will mock when calamity overtakes you— when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble overwhelm you. Then they will call to me but I will not answer; they will look for me but will not find me, since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the Lord. Since they would not accept my advice and spurned my rebuke, they will eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with the fruit of their schemes. For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them; but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.” ‭Proverbs 1:24-33 NIV‬

Yorimichi:
If God isn't omniscient, then that creates an even bigger problem for your argument. How can He be certain that His plan will succeed, that evil will ultimately be defeated, or that His future promises will come true?
You can't appeal to prophecy and God's ultimate victory while also claiming He doesn't know the future. At that point, God's success becomes a hope rather than a certainty.

As the Creator of all things nobody can stop Him but when it comes to intelligent creatures He has given them freewill so they can choose to obey or disobey Him that is why He promised to destroy all opposers of His works! Psalms 37:7-11🙂

Luke 20:34–36 addreses the resurrection and the fact that resurrected people won’t marry or die. It does not mention the 144,000, a heavenly ruling class, or two separate eternal destinations. It answers a question about marriage, not a complete explanation of eternal arrangement.

Stop mentioning that useless book ọmọ it's worthless in this case!🙂

Here is what Jesus said @ Luke 20:34-36

“The children of this system of things marry and are given in marriage, (intelligent creatures in flesh on planet earth do get married) but those who have been counted worthy of gaining that system of things( those who will become corulers with Christ in heaven ) and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. In fact, neither can they die anymore, for they are like the angels, and they are God’s children by being children of the resurrection( will be turned into spirit creatures so they won't marry because they don't have fleshy bodies anymore)." Luke 20:34-36

Scriptures needs to be interpreted so you can't expect everything to be written explicitly as you are demanding i know you are now ashamed of that your book because it can't answer any question at all!🙂

Shame is the end of all false religions:

“Look! My servants will eat, but you will go hungry. Look! My servants will drink, but you will go thirsty. Look! My servants will rejoice, but you will suffer shame. Look! My servants will shout joyfully because of the good condition of the heart, But you will cry out because of the pain of heart And you will wail because of a broken spirit." Isaiah 65:13-14

False prophets don't know God's word so they can't teach what will bring peace to the minds of their followers but confusion {Matthew 7:15-20} how can a false prophet understand that God created the first human couple to live as one man one wife when confusion has led many into taking more than one wife or husband?🙂
