Why did God create mankind with a propensity to sin? Before anyone answers "free will", we do not have unlimited free will - it is constrained by the way God created us. For instance, we cannot read other people's minds or see into the future, much as we would like to. So if we are constrained in some areas, why not did God constrain us a little bit further by removing the possibility of sin? We would still have free will in all other areas.
Good question - hence I will answer - just to kick off - as I do not want to ruin it for others
Because it goes back further than the Father creating flesh and restraining and allowing eg:
Proverbs 8:29 When He set for the sea its boundary So that the water would not transgress [violate/ pass over/ transgress/ ] His command, When He marked out the foundations of the earth; - [waters being the peoples of the earth and the limits that bind them]
Have you ever felt frustrated ? this is the law set - that you work and live within.. [you have no chose here - but to work within these limits - hence frustration... [ have you ever felt that you want to be God [ well many are and continue to be - working in these contraints]
God also can also forgive and forget - most people never forget - if they did. they would allow the same sin's against them again and again and would never learn - you only learn by forgivng - but not forgetting ...
Sin began in heaven where God was where a third of angels were thrown down with satan [like a wave] hence Revelation 12:12 etc..
Hence the sin of Adam and Eve =- hence, Jesus Christ and the second / aternative/ plan - so once we sin or being sinners - we might be saved [not through our kowledge of scripture or through our theology or perfect living . [image] - or religion / belief / ...
[This does not mean that God did not know what happen - but that He foresaw and even in Genesis "appeared to save Adam and Eve" of course the shedding of animal blood was never enough] - it's just another metaphor / symbol/ example.
Even if Adam and Eve were never saved - [it does not mean that they wre unable to produce offspring] who might be or may not be saved [ hence Cain and Able -
I'm afraid relationship is a complex thing / more than just love, more than just friendship/ even more than action / or what you might get back in return..
Love is action - but God may chose not to act [that's another story]
Why does God chose people who have no knowledge of Him or scriptural knowledge of Him [that's another story]
[Why did God allow sin in heaven - where He is -is yet another story]
Quite why God "has an upside down Kingdom" where everything is opposite is another .
[just because people have the means and the time] does not mean they/you/people/ are saved by their works or belief -[ Bob Geldolph / saved millions from starvation - because he could and he had the means to do so.. [Christ -in or not]
Don' be deceived by this kind of thing [as I have been thoughout my Christian life] - but bring it to the Light of Christ]
Most of God's /Christ's working remain unseen and are not working to seek applause or praise [ but are working -within the upside Kingdom - a place where God works and His people hide - without being seen.
Through this ordinary men / fishermen - up to bankers / anyone of social standing - in the climbing of a social ladder[eg: Paul being a pharisee and knowing scripture and being in a religious order or not /could be saved] without any prior knowledge - eg; [not knowing what they were geting into / with no previous knowledge ../ being completley dependent on / as a new born babe...
Were through Christ being/ becoming/ the Aroma and outgoing prescence to others / not being of us/them/ - but of Christ. without the person even knowing what affect they are having..
The next question is "why did God allow sin in heaven" and why did He / God cast down satan to His footstool [crushing / allowing satan to be "under His feet?] - but not our's..[hence beware earth]
Why not cast satan down / elsewhere / were satan would have no power in / on /within/ an empty planet....?
Why did God allow the entire universe to declare His Glory - only to mess it up / by allowing satan and his hordes to violate it ?
I will leave it there and let others take the forefront / thanks for listening
