Yeah but the point, Sherman, is the he DID sin, and you and I probably would have done the same thing given the choice.

Only Christ has a perfect nature (being God, Himself) that could fully fulfull and obey The Law (God’s nature, and His perfect Laws), all others were bound to fail becuase of their temptation of both the flesh and the devil. Adam certainly secumbed to temptation (afterall temptation is of the flesh, and is of human desire), but even though Christ was “tempted in all ways” He ALONE stood againt IT, so we wouldn’t have to die, and go to Hell!

So you are saying that God created Adam in such a way that he was incapable of resisting temptation. Sounds like he created an already Fallen human race.

I think this flies in the face of the whole idea of the Bible, which is that man DIDN’T have to Fall and that God and his Son rescued us despite our voluntary lapse into sin.

If Adam had no choice or free will in the matter, the whole scenario becomes kind of pointless, IMHO. A robot did as he was programmed. What a shock!
