How Sin Entered God’s Creation.

As states in the previous post sin is essentially another term for evil. When God created both man and angels, God gave both us and them free will. God did want a bunch of robots that just behave them selves because they had no choice. He wanted being that would love, worship, and serve Him of our own free will.

Evil entered God’s creation when the chief angel called Lucifer decided that wanted to be God and Now called Satan he has been causing trouble ever since. Fist he recruited a third of the angels into his rebellion and the enlisted man kind.

When God placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, He basically gave them one rule. Don’t eat the fruit of one of the trees called the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and that violation that rule would bring death. At first glance this may seem rather severe but there are two points that need to be made.

1.      Adam and Eve had little opportunity to sin and by eating that fruit they were rebelling against God as much as they had opportunity to do.

2.      In the Garden of Eden Adam and Eve knew good and so when they eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil they were deliberately seeking evil.

Some time after God placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and Lucifer rebelled Satan approached Eve using a snake. He successfully got her to eat the fruit of the trees called the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and then used her to get Adam to eat it.

This is how evil came into the world and once it was present God had to deal with it.
