The Sin Narrative

We are told that Adam and Eve committed the original sin, which produced the necessity for Jesus to die thousands of years later to 'fix' it.

Yet......God is supposed to be all knowing, which neutralizes this notion.

We cannot have it both ways. Either God knew what would happen, or He didn't. To create man, then test him to lose, just so He could sacrifice His son doesn't make sense.

The 'Jesus narrative' along with the 'original sin narrative' doesn't make sense.

God should be much more knowing...and mature.

So he should rather have created you as a robot with no free will?

Can you tell me where we are told that?
I would like to read it for myself.

Free will cannot explain that either God was ignorant of the possibility of choice of man, or that He did know, and the destiny of Jesus was decided with the 'birth' of Adam.

God knew.

The free will discussion is empty.

God knew that man with a free will would fall and he knew how he would fix it. What exactly is the problem?

Then God created a flawed system.

And He knew it.

If it was designed to have the capacity of evil through choice then it was not flawed.

Wrong. I did not own slaves. How long do I need to hear about slavery?

I am tired of hearing about Adam and Eve.

They do not apply to 'now'.

When did I mention Adam and Eve? Or slavery? What are you on about?

God created a designed system to fail. He created us. We did not create ourselves.

If He created us to sin, even if we desire to be good, then frankly....it's God's problem.

He created us to fail.

God doesn't make our choices for us, we make them ourselves.
