God’s Choice to Delay Forgiveness Until Jesus Was Unjustified
If God is allpowerful and merciful, He could have directly forgiven Adam and Eve after their disobedience in Eden. Instead, humanity endured generations of sin, suffering, and separation before atonement came through Jesus sacrifice.
Jesus even taught turning back to god for forgiveness, not atonement.
I know its unrelated but i even think of Matthew 7:11. Where jesus compares god to a good father, now u can argue that the cast out of eden was a spiritual death but that wasnt the consensus in judaism and i definitely dont think jesus thought of it that way.
I look forward to hearing u guys responses, thanks
