The answer,...Thanks for your comments, Anonymous. <br />The answer, I think, to your question is: (super)natural consequences. That's what happens when you sin--grace disappears.<br /><br />I suppose if you have a problem with the above then you should also have a problem with natural consequences. You could ask the same thing of, say, planting corn. "Why doesn't God just make corn appear on everyone's plates? WHY does he make it that you have to sow the seeds, water them, harvest them...."The Amateur Apologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06042589564126217004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319525241110721507.post-31784659947128744752016-07-29T11:30:20.637-05:002016-07-29T11:30:20.637-05:00But that still doesn't make sense, and the sam...But that still doesn't make sense, and the same question exists: WHY would others be deprived of grace because of the actions of Adam and Eve? And to take it back further, WHY would a god take away this grace from those two for such a small action? To withhold this grace from billions of other people for millions of years because Adam and Eve ate fruit they were told not to--when they themselves did not have knowledge of good and evil--is not logical or loving.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
