“”God didn’t HAVE to plant the tree, but he did. It is ALL part of God’s plan.””

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.

The devil didn’t BLAME God for putting the tree there, but he did use it to his advantage.

I don’t blame God, because I know it is all according to His great plan. I am assured that God is in control of my life, not me (whew!)

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

Actually, Satan changed the words of God, trying to make man feel that he could become god, also. In ALL of my writtings, you will NEVER read where I said man is above God, or that man can become God. I put God above all my actions, thoughts, and desires (accept when I sin, of course) That is why it is so important that I remember that I can do nothing outside of God. In all actuality, your words are a lot closer to Satan’s than mine. You are the one claiming that man can act without God’s knowledge or ability to change (that’s the big problem with Free Will, we can act outside of God’s influence), not me.
