Did God Set Us Up to Fail?
Hey everyone and welcome back to Deeper Roots.
Ever since our creation, God gave us the free will to make our own decisions. In the beginning, we could have loved God and trusted God, then we would have lived perfect lives within the Garden of Eden. But we know how that turned out and now we are in an imperfect world, with people who aren’t perfect and argue over everything. Seemingly, that freedom to choose backfired and now we are stuck with the repercussions of that freedom.
But none of us asked for this. None of us asked for sin to enter the world, and I am sure that if we had to choose between perfection and chaos, we would choose perfection on our own free will, right? … right? On this episode, we talk about the question “Did God set us up to fail from the beginning?” “Why did God punish us for Adam eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil?”.
