Why did God seat a forbidden tree inwards the Garden of Eden?
Some people role this every bit an declaration against God's goodness. But it's truly only the opposite.
Think close it:
God gave Adam too Eve 1 dominion (Genesis 2:16-17). Just one.
They had a plethora of choices for delicious, nutritious fruit (Genesis 2:8-9) too solely 1 was forbidden. Just one.
God created Adam too Eve "very good" (Genesis 1:31) too had companionship amongst them (Genesis 3:8-9) too hence they had no argue for insecurities, concerns, or fears. None. Not one.
But God didn't desire robot dearest anymore than you lot or I would desire it.(1)
So He tested their faith.
And man, without a help inwards a perfect environment, amongst every argue to trust too obey his loving Father, sinned at the get-go opportunity, broke the 1 rule, too broke God's heart.
This number is non an declaration against God's goodness, but an declaration for it...especially because God at 1 time began to redeem mankind from his sins.(2)
