Here’s one for you:
God knew adam and eve would eat the fruit before he made them.
i.e. it was like puting a fox in a hen house and telling it to do whatever it wanted but don’t mess with the chickens.
And all that that implies.
Monsignor Pope Ping!
There is another answer: God’s actions are not bound by space and time, even if their manifestations to us are. Jesus is the Lamb who was slain from the foundation of the world (Rev. 13:8), as well as the child who would grow up to die on the cross during the early decades of the Roman Empire, for He is fully God and fully man.
To answer the question put forth. He never would have left. He did walk with Adam in the Garden of Eden and who is to say Adam would still be with us today as well as Jesus and the Garden of Eden.
Thanks for posting.
I’ve often thought that one reason Christ’s Incarnation was long in coming was in order to allow the understanding that there is only one God (not exactly a common belief in the times B.C.) to become so deeply believed within the Jewish faith that the revelation of the Trinity wouldn’t be misunderstood as a revelation that there are three gods.
The Bible says Jesus was the “lamb slain from (before) the foundation of the world”.....i.e., his incarnation, death, burial and resurrection were all in God’s plan from eternity past.
In fact, the cross itself is in the center of the heart of God - it reveals who Jesus is more than any other thing. Jesus had his eyes on the cross BEFORE he took on human flesh.
The cross was NOT “Plan B” in case man sinned and fell. God knew man’s sin was inevitable - and He poured out His grace anyway......
Thanks, Salvation!
All I had to do was read the headline.
“Would Jesus Have Come If Adam Had Not Sinned?”
Full Stop.
God is ALL KNOWING. God KNEW Adam would sin. So the question is foolish.
Why read on or watch a video?
Jesus is an old soul and had come to earth many times:
John 8: 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.”
57 “You are not yet fifty years old,” they said to him, “and you have seen Abraham!”
58 “Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!” 59 At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.
Just as the scripture states.. Be kind to strangers as they might just be angels in disguise.... People did not recognize Jesus each time He was here.
Hebrews 13:2
Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.
Finally, Per Matthew 13, we are the good seeds planted here on earth to grow. You never want your seeds to sprout in the middle of the winter. Everything is unfolding exactly as it is supposed to according to God’s Divine Plan.
I’m going to guess that “trouble finding a parking place” isn’t the right answer ...
