Adam
Gen. 2:16-17 “”You may eat freely of every tree in the garden,
but of the tree of knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat
for in that day you eat there off, you shall surely die”.
God persuaded and prohibited
but never covered the point.
If Adam so willed
he could make a choice.
God would not restrain him
even though it would bring death
for freedom is not shackled
it is free to will its own voice.
Adam was not created
incapable of sinning.
God may prohibit or command
but responsibility was with Adam.
To want to listen or not
was Adams prerogative
even though he blamed Eve
when he got into a jam.
