| Liberal Christians usually don't believe literally in Adam and Eve so therefore your argument is pointless. You may ask what they could possibly concoct as how Genesis is not meaning literally that Adam and Eve caused all humans to be punished for their actions. Some people could make a fairly good case that Genesis was not literally saying that sins of Adam and Eve made God punish us all, but that human society in its entirety is prone to make evil decisions due to a lack of disciplining oneself when one does wrong, so as to make oneself a more better human being ; so God decided that if humans were not all going to follow him then he must punish or reward individuals for their actions. (Of course he knew beforehand he would have to do this, but it was the best course of action as he is God and know all so what he did was the best course of action) |
