Hmmmm...ruffled feathers....Try to get a grip.....OK?
What Adam had was free will, not sin in his physical body leading him to disobey his Sovereign Creator.
That is why there was no excuse for what they did, Sin did not come about because of the way God made them as free agents. They made choices in full knowledge of the consequences of their actions. Obedience was all God asked of them in return for all that he had given them. Not a big ask, was it?
You keep missing the point....the sinful inclination did not manifest itself because it was not there in the beginning. Only when Adam and his wife stole God's property did sin enter into the world...it wasn't there to begin with. There was no sin until they committed it.
Within one generation a murderer was produced, such was the power of that sin. We have been victims of it ever since. But that is not the way humanity got its start. Humans were created perfect but with free will. They made bad choices and reaped the penalty. Jesus came to get us back what Adam took from us....offering his life to pay for of our sin.
Sin affected the human race straight away.....from the day they ate, they became aware of their naked state and they began to die physically, but were already dead spiritually in God's eyes. Kicked out of the garden as the ungrateful and rebellious children that they were....life was now going to be tough. But Adam's children would learn from his defection.
There is not one word of remorse expressed by either of them...just the resignation that God was no longer available to them as before. Sin created a barrier that prevented them from speaking to their God without the aid of a mediator. The Bible identifies this mediator as Jesus Christ. I believe that he has had this role from the beginning.
Well, I'm not a 'pal' and there is no contradiction. You seem to be stuck in your own mindset just like a lot of other 'loners' who think they know a lot, but who actually understand very little about the big picture.
Do you understand that you cannot be a Christian in isolation.....you must have others who share what you believe. (1 Corinthians 1:10) You must also meet with them regularly to encourage one another. (Hebrews 10:24-25) Who are your brethren?
If you don't have any, then doesn't that put you out on a rather lonely limb?
Do you know how many members there are here on RF who think they have the answers because they have read scripture and think it means this or that? But since they are the only ones who believe those things....they try hard to gain acceptance of their beliefs with others, but end up as isolated as they came. True Christians are never isolated from other Christians....we need fellow believers, otherwise all we have is our very own religion. Is that what Jesus taught?
