If Adam hadn't sinned, humanity would likely have remained in a state of innocence and direct communion with God in Eden, enjoying eternal life through the Tree of Life, with no death, sickness, or evil, but potentially lacking moral consciousness and history, raising questions about human development, purpose, and whether Jesus's Incarnation as a redeemer would have been necessary or different.
Therefore, sin would have entered the world whether or not Eve was deceived, Adam was tempted, or God moved the tree elsewhere. So, in some sense, while technically, Adam could have chosen not to sin, it would have been impossible for mankind to avoid the fall.
The Paschal Mystery is the most important and blessed event in the history of humanity, and yet it never would have occurred without the sin of Adam. If man had never sinned, we would know God as loving and just but we would never know him as merciful. It is necessary to sin in order to experience mercy.
It was not until they were banished from the garden that they no longer had access to the tree of life (Gen. 3:23-24). We can say, based on what is presented to us in Genesis, that Adam and Eve would have had access to the tree of life and would have lived forever if they had not sinned.
Adam and Eve's Separation from God
Their physical condition changed as a result of their eating the forbidden fruit. As God had promised, they became mortal. They and their children would experience sickness, pain, and physical death. Because of their transgression, Adam and Eve also suffered spiritual death.
God, by definition, transcends the rules of time and space, existing outside the framework of creation. This means He doesn't need a beginning because He exists in a reality beyond our own.
The person killed by God for not impregnating (specifically, for refusing to fulfill his duty to provide offspring for his deceased brother's wife) was Onan, a figure from the Old Testament (Genesis 38). God put him to death because Onan practiced withdrawal (spilling his seed on the ground) to prevent his sister-in-law, Tamar, from conceiving, which was considered wicked in the Lord's sight.
Like in false oaths or insults. When people say oh my God out of surprise at something shocking, good or bad, it's usually not sinful. In some cases, it can even be a simple way of offering the moment to God saying oh my goodness or oh my gosh doesn't mention God at all.
A biblical worldview (based on God's revealed Word in the Bible) makes it clear that God made two sexes of humans, male and female: “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:27).
Jesus lived a sinless life and then willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. Through His resurrection, He broke the power of sin and death. When we put our faith in Jesus, we are no longer under the curse of Adam's sin but are given new life in Christ.
With this declaration, Alma identified for Corianton the three most abominable sins in the sight of God: (1) denying the Holy Ghost, (2) shedding innocent blood, and (3) committing sexual sin. Adultery was third to murder and the sin against the Holy Ghost as abominable sins.
It is still possible to ask: why did God not forgive Adam and Eve right away? It was impossible for God to forgive in the sense of 'let's forget about and continue like nothing happened'. They had lost their holiness and had become sinners.
Adam would “become like God” if he ate it. Sadly, Adam believed this lie and chose to disobey God who had told him not to eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. This was the first sin and resulted in humanity falling from what we call Original Innocence.
We are then told this from verse 5 onwards: The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled.
Eve's Sin was that she was Deceived
Eve's thoughts were led astray because she was not fully convinced of who she really was—created in the image and likeness of God. She became convinced that grasping the fruit would make her like God and so she ate.
The majority of Biblical interpreters—throughout the ages—have considered Adam and Eve's disobedient act of eating the forbidden fruit (Genesis 3:6) as the first sin in the Bible—the moment sin and death entered the world.
Many Hindus focus upon impersonal Absolute (Brahman) which is genderless.
So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. No helper was fit for him!
Here's Matthew 19:4–6: “Have you not read,” He asked the Pharisees, “that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, 'Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'? So they are no longer two but one flesh.
no, jeez is not bad to say as it's not the actual name of Christ. If saying jeez is a sin, then saying the name Joshua is like the worst sin of all, as it is a more literal translation of Yeshwa (the Aramaic /Hebrew way of saying Jesus .)
Thanking God is actually biblical and right because God is the reason we are alive and not dead at this very moment, saying thank God for just a phrase is mocking Him because God is Holy and just and anything that just use His name for a phrase is wrong.
While the phrase “Oh, my God” could be a prayer, it is not usually meant in this way. More commonly it uses the Divine name as a mere expression of surprise or exasperation. This is not a reverent or prayerful use of God's name in most circumstances. The word “vain” means empty.
Jesus speaks of forgiveness beyond what anyone had ever considered before: seventy times seven! Many commentaries understand this to mean that Jesus was telling Peter that he should forgive his brother a limitless number of times.
John was banished by the Roman authorities to the Greek island of Patmos, where, according to tradition, he wrote the Book of Revelation. According to Tertullian (in The Prescription of Heretics) John was banished (presumably to Patmos) after being plunged into boiling oil in Rome and suffering nothing from it.
Genesis 38:9-10 New International Version (NIV)
But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother's wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother. What he did was wicked in the LORD's sight; so the LORD put him to death also.
