So... accfording to The Bible, Adam and Eve were the first humans created, and they were created perfect and without sin. correct? they lived in paradise with everything they could ever need... until they were tempted by Satan to eat the fruit from the forbidden tree... then they were banished by God from paradise; this is why everyone sins, because of this "original sin" right?
so what I don't understand is how they were tempted into eating the fruit if they were perfect, and created in God's image. I don't know, personally, If I created something and it didn't do what it was supposed to, I wouldn't blame my creation; the fault would be my own... so this made me think: did god create them knowing they would eat from the fruit? also how did Satan get into paradise? hmm... maybe this whole story just a parable that I shouldn't think about too literally
@ Seeker of Holy God... how could it be paradise if Satan is free to come and go as he pleases? God must not care much for his creations
"[angels] do his bidding and are perfect." Lucifer was perfect? how did he fall then? (I'm not trying to be crass, I seriously don't understand how this can be)
