Wrong. God knew that Adam and Eve disobeyed him. He knew it even before they did it. So in the account God comes to them and asks them if they did it. He didn't come at them angry that they disobeyed him. He asks them if they disobeyed him. The moral of the story isn't that man learned about evil or that man disobeyed God. The moral of this story is that man knows right from wrong and when he violates it rather than abandoning the concept he rationalizes that he didn't violate it. The moral of this story has been lost on you.That's man's choice. And he suffers the consequence for his choices; good and bad.God did not create an evil inclination. God created a good inclination. Your understanding is flawed. Man is not inclined to evil. Man is inclined to good. Man must choose not to do good because his inclination his nature is good. It’s an artifact of intelligence. So it’s good that you don’t blame God for creating man’s evil inclination because he didn’t. Man is responsible for his choices and he can chose to do good or he can choose to not do good. But man’s nature and inclination which is from God, who is Holy, is good. Everything God created is good. Why is this so hard for you to comprehend?Not good.Wrong. Mankind has a choice between doing good and not doing good. So free will still exists. God did not create evil.According to @rylah’s logic had God not created evil then the Holocaust would have never have happened.
Wow you really scratching the bottom!
Let me help you out.
Had not G-d created evil inclination,
man wouldn't have the freedom to choose between good and evil.
And what did G-d call this 'not doing good?
The tree of good and...?
unless you want to blame God for creating evil. Is that what you want to do?
I don't blame G-d for creating the evil inclination,
rather thank G-d for allowing me the freedom of choice.
Big difference.
On the other hand, you call 2+2=-5 as "not much correct", and yet, it's wrong.
Imagine Olympic games where everyone gets a golden medal, including the guy who came to walk a 100m backwards, and purposefully hit every real sportsmen, who sweat in discipline for the last 4 years.
Moral relativism corrupts and devalues everything, for the sake of corruption.
Evil for the sake of evil.
The illogical conclusion of your belief is that man’s evil inclination came from God. That is preposterous. God’s nature does not contain evil. Again, which part of and he saw that it was good do you not understand? Which part of and we were created in his image do you not understand?
You say man has inclination to do good, and not to do good.
But what about man's inclination to DO NOT GOOD?
It has always been about God wanting man to choose to do the right thing, the right way for the right reason. And when he doesn't, to acknowledge that he failed, learn from his mistakes and move forward armed with that new knowledge. Isn't that what intelligence is all about anyway? To experience reality and learn from it?
Again describing the evil inclination - face good consequence as result of following what G-d wants man to follow, and bad consequences as a result of following the evil inclination, that which G-d doesn't want us to follow, oppose it.
The fact that man won't abandon good is proof that man has an inclination for good. You have totally missed the moral of this story.
Adam didn't deny he did wrong,
and that of course didn't refute or address my post.
Try again to actually address my post without deflecting.
