Best to be cautious with it then.
I've always thought that if God didn't intend for us to be able to do something, we wouldn't be able to do it. It's just up to us to be sensible with the facilities HE gave us.
After all, "Jesus did turn water into wine"... HE Lead by example, a drink not a binge : "He wouldnt tempt people to sin."
Just my take on it. :)

If you accept that He wanted Adam and Eve to be able to sin but didn't really want them to sin then your premise is acceptable. But I could see room for misinterpretation as in someone saying, "Well, I'm able to gun down all my neighbors so ..."

Jesus did turn water into wineJust wait till you run into some superfundie Baptists who will insist that it was just Really Excellent Grape Juice (which interpretation totally ignores the context, but that never stops them)..
If you haven't had the pleasure of discussing Greek definitions with one from that school of thought, you're missing out on a (dubious) experience. My hermenutics prof would cringe.. ;-)
