if hell was in the picture before man's creation, and in other for d hell to be of use, god created the tree. This tree became a tool to send man to hell.
GreatResearcher, they each and all are tools. The Tree wasn't, as you put it, just, become a tool to send man to hell, but the Tree was a verification and validation tool. Hell, on the other hand, is a holding place, it is actually and correctly put Sheol. It is where souls end up awaiting judgement and know their fate where eventually the souls will end up at

I ask again, what was god's initial plan for man?

Was hell in the picture before man ate the tree or hell came in after eating of the tree?
And reiterating the plan for man is to live for ever, but first, man has to prove him or herself worthy of this "live and no more have to die" privilege.

Of course, hell was in the picture before Man ate off the Tree. What did you think, you think it wasn't huh? Death will be destroyed after it has outlived it usefulness, it and hell then afterwards will be thrown into the lake of fire

If the plan has not changed, why is man dying?
Man will continue to die and be dying until when death is put an end to and be no more when ultimately it is thrown into the lake of fire

jcross19:
yes you are right until they take form of mortal man. Because we assume them to be a spirit even now spirit can mess people . bible says they were falling angels so they can do and undo.
Angels do not take on human forms unless when on official capacities, as in when doing errands and/or when performing duties for God. Make no mistake, angels do not marry, whether in Heaven or on earth. It is impossible for any angel to do this and the bible verse Matthew 22:30 does not and cannot lie

what was God's initial plan for man? To live forever or to die after living some years?
The plan has never changed from a prospect of living forever, however man has to prove him or herself to be worthy of enjoying this
Christianity Etc › Re: The Universe Looks Nothing Like It Was Created By A Loving God. by MuttleyLaff:
GreatResearcher:
what was God's initial plan for man? To live forever on earth right? If that was his plan, why then did he create a tree whereby if man eats he dies? Or was the all-knowing god not know man will eat of the tree?

I as a man cannot create a being with the purpose for that being to live forever then allowed a tree that can kill that being to be in the midst of the being since i as all-knowing knows the being will eat it.

Let's say a man has a dog, he kept the dog in a room with a poisonious meat in the room and the man's wish for the dog is to live not die. Is it not foolishness picking the dog in the room where a poisonious meat is? Especially when he knows the dog will it the meat?

If the man really loves the dog and dont want the dog to die he will either removed the meat from the room or removed the dog from the room. There must be measures to ensure that the dog doesnt eat the meat.
Necessity is the mother of invention. the creation of Man came about out of a necessity.

Of course, the omniscient all knowing God know the Man eventually will eat off the Tree, but did the man himself know he or she would? What is the proof of the Man eating off the Tree? The proof and evidence came from the result or outcome of the verification and validation process that the Tree tool played a significant part in.

Bad analogy, the intelligence of the dog is not on the same par as that of Man my dear friend

GreatResearcher:
I think it was. bcus I see no reason why he didnt want man to eat the tree of knowledge of good and evil
You don't need to see any reason, it is His prerogative and this is after you've been told already that, it is for verification and validation purpose. Besides, God wouldnt have used clay to make Man, if having a zombie was what He had in mind

GreatResearcher:
why didnt God want man to eat that tree? So that man wont have the knowledge of good and evil?

He wanted man to be zombie in the garden?


What a gracious god!
Man was given freewill and a choice, to eat or not to eat off the Tree. Man had freedom to decide what he wants to do and damn the consequence of his choice.

Man prematurely against expressed command not to went ahead to eat off the Tree. Do you know that the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is a merism expression or figure of speech? Do you what how in the original text, it is written when translated?

No, creating Man to be a zombie was never on His mind

agreed darkness is the absence of light and good is the absence of evil. This means evil is a substance that exists, so who then created it?
the tree isn't evil? wow, so why was it labelled the evil tree? I still wonder how that evil tree is a necessary tool? to do what kwanu?
Good is not necessarily the absence of evil, it is evil is the absence of good. Anybody can create evil, all that needs to be done is withdraw or hold back good, then evil appears, rearing its ugly head

I don't know how you concluded it was labelled the evil tree, when in actual fact, it only was called the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, which in reality and essentially, is what it is. It can't be more of self descriptive given name than that.

GreatResearcher:
what was the objective of that tree?
Read on to know why

GreatResearcher:
probably to test man.lol
The truth can be strange to believe at times

GreatResearcher:
what was the objective of that tree?
To validate and verify. Now you are going to tell me, you never at all, validate and verify, hmm, isn't it?

I will explain it with darkness. What is darkness? As darkness, is the absence of light, so is evil the absence of good

why would a good awesome God create an evil Tree as a tool? to do what exactly?
The tree is not evil. It is a necessary tool. You know what a tool, what tools are, c'mon now. Why shouldnt a good awesome God not make of such tool?

an all-knowing god create everything in the garden including a tree that he knows wasnt supposed to be eaten by man.

Why create the tree in the first place?
Created to be used as a tool, nothing wrong with that.

Well it wasn't me you asked those questions but anyway it is common knowledge that it is God who created Satan, as for evil, that is a creation of the absence of good

Who cursed the ground? God.
Who commited the sin? Man.
Who felt the pain? Man and innocent animals.

What a just god!
The narrative said the ground is cursed because of Man, as in what Man did, is the reason the ground changed from its original purpose, benefits, blessing etcetera. Our actions often affecting innocent bystanders is a fact of life.

I think your knowledge about biology isn't top notch else you would realize these animals I mean everyone of them doesn't need man to survive but man can't survive without them.
As a king you should still be able to survive without your subjects but in this case, you know the rest
You just want to be argumentative for argument sake.

What has survival got to do with all this huh? Survival wasn't even in the picture before the command that man have dominion and rule over animals
Also did you not read where herbs originally was meant to be the food of man.

Man superiority over animals is not questionably friend

Man was given the mandate to have dominion and rule over the animals.
Also conversations were made with man and not with animals.

Bcus I want to punish my child for his wrong doing so I hav to inflict pains on animals and eventually kill the animals that were not part of the wrong doing
Who is the child in all this?
Where did you get the notion there was a child in all this?
Dont you know that the ground was cursed because of what somebody did, and that it had nothing to do with what God did?
Dont you know that animals were created among other things for the pleasure of man?

Christianity Etc › Re: The Lies Of The Garden Of Eden - A Logical View by MuttleyLaff:
Akin1212:
You should be responding to Budatuum and not me.

Budatuum said, death comes to anything that has life, disobedience or not.
So you admit that you've unfortunately managed to muck up the water with the inconsequent reasons you advanced because sin actually entered the world through one man's disobedience, and death actually came to man, through and/or because of this disobedience sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all, by de facto, sinned

You partner is incorrigible on this subject, as I have previously told our dear friend that the comment "you shall surely die" made by God, means "die slowly", as the original word and verb used is "muth" signifying "to die". That, if the fruit is eaten, then death, incontrovertibly, will happen immediately without delay but the consummation of it, is at a later or future time.

The serpent tried to spin this, by insisting Man would not surely die, but that instead, Man's will eyes will be opened and Man will be like God, knowing good and evil.

We now know Man surely dies and the earth too is slowly depreciating and deteriorating

Akin1212:
Your explanation is still suiting my narrative. There's no where you take it to that won't suit what my narrative is. And my narrative is that the whole story was a cooked up story that was poorly written.

If they could do something else that would lead to their death, how does this God of creation becomes perfect in the story? Beside the fact that you bringing up that they could have died by doing something else is a fallacy and straw man, what was written was that they ate from a tree and death came because they did so. Death came does not mean they died instantly, but the disobedience opened them up for death.
So what's your point again?
If at all the whole story was a cooked up story, there is nothing that is poorly written about it.
The perfection of God is not in question, the wages of sin is death and the same sin and death eventually will be no more

Akin1212:
You already shot yourself in the foot Buda.

Surely and certainly were the words used by God, so God specifically used those English words? Even with those English words, we can still say it means only. According to the fairy, they were not told about death until when instructed not to eat from a tree planted by the protagonist. If the tree wasn't there, they were surely not going to die. Any additional explanation is your own contribution to suit the narrative, which at this point is unnecessary. They would surely die, when they become knowledgeable, but you said ignorance leads to death. That's where you shot yourself in the foot. You honestly did a cognitive dissonance. You should stick with one path, I cannot be going round circles with you. You also said death is inevitable, so it means whether you're ignorant or not you'll die.

Choose one reason why they died.

1. Because they were ignorant.
2. Because they became knowledgeable.
3. Because death was inevitable.
Assuming the story was true.
Unfortunately you only managed to muck up the water with those inconsequent reasons you advanced because sin entered the world through one man's disobedience, and death actually came to man, through and/or because of this disobedience sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all, by de facto, sinned

There's no dying or flying, but it does take my breath away, and sweeps her feet off the ground...
There is dying and flying when you have sex and/or make love. Every virile man experiences "la petite mort", that is "the little death", in French, for you. I know I do have these moments of little death when I am coming, with my eyes clasped shut in ecstasy and feeling like I am on cloud nine, riding and flying on it.

Besides, a prophet that cannot see properly, saying four or five terms, is that one a prophet? His vision is not from God, as God is not an author of uncertainty. The man has since 2016 been romanticising with Nigeria's politics. He aside, being a charlatan prophet, also is a false teacher
