spurgeonryan said: I actually owe God everything. How are you to say how God should punish people? He is basically giving us the same chance he gave Adam and Eve. We come out basically pure from our Mother's Womb. How we choose to live our life and if we want to sin and not repent is up to us. Obviously there is some sort of Drama going on in Heaven. he had the same set up with the Tree of Life. If you want to sin then eat the Apple. They made their choice. Or are you thinking of something else? |
If you owe God everything you have while all you have is shit, wouldn't that mean you owe God nothing but shit? (Which is basically not possible. You can't owe someone something negative.)
Adam and Eve eating the apple is the perfect definition of a sin. No one was actually harmed by the act, and they expected (or actually gained, I'm not sure) pleasure from it. Disrespecting God was the sin. And you are not even allowed to disrespect God after he has brought you life full of nothing but misery. You owe him nothing but shit, but he has the guts to expect worship in return. Even given how creating you required no efforts whatsoever. And neither would improving your situation require any efforts.
