If everything is God's decision, then our sin is His doing, then evil is His doing. Then, He created man, so man can fail, because he loved him? If I set you up to fail, is it your fault if you have no control over it? Is then Adam not an innocent man punished for something he did not do on his own will? How can we be responsible for anything then? If I commit a crime and claim that I was just doing God's will, I will be tried as an insane individual.

If man is not guilty of anything but obedience to God's predestined steps, why is there a need to "redeem" him? If God created us good and then turned us into evil, willingly and intentionally, then God is the author of evil and man must be innocent!

And what kind of justice is it to not only punish an innocent man, but all his generations as well? Is that not a Tyrant? So, then, your God, being the source and cause of everything good -- and evil, is neither unchanging nor impassionate, but evil and corrupt as well.

Before the fall man (Adam) could choose to sin or not to sin

After the fall man could not chose not to sin. His soul was in bondage to sin

Once saved man again is restored to the position where he can choose to sin or not to sin .

Once in heaven man will not be able to choose to sin.

Blame Adam for the inability of any man to do good .

Was the sin of Judas foreordained? Why ?
