***God did not plan the sin of Adam and Eve or any sin!***

Dear saint, Who planted the tree in the garden, and who told them they would die if they did? In other words... God planted the tree and then established the penalty for eating from it (which he knew they would do). God didn’t HAVE to plant the tree, but he did. It is ALL part of God’s plan. Can you give any other explanation for God planting a tree that they could not eat from? WHy did he plant it? WHY?

“”God planted the tree and then established the penalty for eating from it (which he knew they would do). God didn’t HAVE to plant the tree, but he did. It is ALL part of God’s plan””

Adam and Eve were disobedient. This was NOT planned by God

Do you blame God for your disobedience and sins also?

Do you look back on your sins and thank God for them because they are part of his plan?

If so, than how do you explain the sins Christ suffered for if it was His plan?

Because the foolishness of God is greater than the wisdom of men, my friend! :)

One more thing IT.

Perhaps you can explain that what you're saying is any different than what the serpent said to Eve?

You both blame God for planting the tree in the garden for the purpose of planned sin.

What kind of tree was it? What was that forbidden fruit? Paul gives insight in IICorinthians 11:1-4
