First of all, I'd really like to thank everyone for their prayers. I'm still sick of course and a bit feverish, but I've been sleeping most of the day so that is really helping me. Anyway here's a quick question that was running through my mind. If God knows everything, that means He knew that Adam and Eve would eat the forbidden fruit no matter what, so why did He even bother telling them that they shouldn't? Why did He seem so surprised? And most importantly, if all humans are meant to be sinners, why Did He even create us in the first place already knowing that we would be so imperfect? I'm not complaining about being here on this planet, I love my life. I'm just curious.
Of course God knew from the beginning everything that would happen in all of human history.
God created man with free will.
Man is able to choose whether to love God (which would include trusting and obeying Him) or to try to manage on his own depending on his own intellect and powers of observation etc.
God new that mankind would try to be gods in our own right and He told us ahead of time that trying to be your own god leads to death.
God know that Satan would use man's foolishness to cause us to sin and separate us from Him in whom alone was life. (God)
GOd knew what He would do about it; he wuld send Jesus to die and rise from the dead thereby destroying the devil's tool of sin and death.
Nobody stays dead.
Everybody gets resurrected.
But God did not take away man's free will.
We will all be resurrected but we still get to choose eternal life (love and trust God) or eternal (2nd) death (do our own thing.)
Since you cannot force anyone to love you, God gave us the choice to love Him or not.
But He always loves all of mankind.
Pick you eternity.
