Quote by: JohnMK  Speaking hypothetically (I believe it's fiction), I think she made the correct choice, if you can even say choice had anything to do with it. If God designed us, then He should have known what His program was capable of, similarly to when I'm coding in 'C' and I have a stack overflow. I don't damn the function to hell, I rewrite it, recognizing that I made a mistake. From the viewpoint of an all-powerful, all-knowing God, I don't believe free will exists. |
You and Nathan said a lot. I happen to feel there are pleasures in defeating carnal desires. One can enjoy sweet drink and food, sex and sleep. I don't like it when I feel like I have to have it. And I feel powerful when I can go without it or I imagine I would be if I could. I wouldn't need anything and no one could tempt me. There would be no reason to be jealous of anyone.
But if this is not the case and flesh comes with the game. Eve may have only proven that the women may be stronger in flesh than man. For she did not fear to die or to be punished by God. Man only tries to play it like she saw the fruit was good to eat like she was tempted and all that. When it was more like she had no true incentive to be obedient. Being a new soul in flesh and all, she was still thinking she was just a soul. lol
