[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The penalty for sin against an infinitely holy God is death. Adam and Eve were made sinless, and therefore immortal. [b]Then they sinned[/b], and death entered the world. So there is a problem: God is perfectly holy. And God is perfectly just. If He decided to just wave away the sin, he would no longer be just.  But He very much loved Adam and Eve, so He set up a system wherein when they sinned, they could offer a sacrifice that would “take the penalty“ of the sin (die) and they would still be in God‘s presence. The Old Testament is basically one long series of this contract sin (break with God)-death (sacrifice)-reconcile. 
One man, Jesus, ended this cycle. He lived a perfectly sinless life, but took on every one of our sins at his death, and therefore paid the permanent price for us to be with God forever. [/quote]

How in heaven could they sin???

They did not know right from wrong until they ate the apple. So BEFORE they ate the apple they could not sin because they did not know what they were doing. Once they got the knowledge, then this is another story but how can you say they sin if they did not have the faculties YET.[/quote]

God specifically told them not to eat the apple, so, while they may not have known sin, they knew what disobedience was and they went ahead and ate the apple anyhow and doomed the rest of humanity forever.   If you believe the story, that is.[/quote]

So if I put a bowl of chocolate ice cream in front of my toddlers that don't know any better, my 'perfect' creations, told them "don't eat the chocolate ice cream" and left.

They are forever damned and they have damned all of humanity because they took a spoon of the ice cream.  That was my punishment to them and the rest of humanity for them not obeying.

Then later down the road, I was tired of holding a grudge against humanity and decided to have another kid.  Told that one to tell everyone how bad they are and to get himself killed.  This way I could show everyone who's really boss and make them understand that they are bad and need to love me or else spend eternal damnation in a ring of fire with a psychotic little red man.
