It would have happened eventually...

Okay, so the question from this week's class is "What would life be like if Adam and Eve had not sinned?"


Here's my short and sweet answer: "It would have happened eventually"


God created a world with free will, which means that sin is always a part of the equation. We are free to make our own choices and somewhere down the line, a person would have been tempted by the devil and we would be right back in the same place.


It is easy to place all of the blame on Adam and Eve, but can we legitimately say that we wouldn't have done the same in their place?


Who is to know for sure?

  1. So you're saying that because God created humans with a free will, that someone, eventually, would have chosen to disobey? What if, though, our sin nature is inherited rather than chosen? Any thoughts on that?
