If man chose to become sinful by disobeying God in the Garden of Eden.........................................

I'm sorry, I couldn't find biblical references for this, but my personal opinion is that the other planets are still perfect b/c we (humans) are not there to mess them up.  And when we go there we are not introducing sin b/c there is no one to introduce it to...I mean, the rocks can't exactly sin.  However, if there is life on other planets (by life I mean anything with the capability to have a soul and also to sin), Romans 8 :28 says, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of god," so they would already be sinners, so we could not introduce it b/c it is already there.

The answer you'll get from most religious people is that they chose to disobey him. In doing so, they turned against him, and it is their own fault. Or something like that.\n\nWhat I'd really like to know is, if God is all-powerful, and knew what we would do before creating us, and due to the way he created us, is it not he who is ultimately responsible for all of our actions? How can you claim to have free will and at the same time say that all that happens, including all that we do, is part of his divine plan? Moreover, how can one attempt to justify an eternity of any magnitude of suffering as a fitting punishment for any acts committed over a finite period of time?

Possibly, God used Nature in the old testament to punish disobiedience.  Does he do this in modern times? I dont know.

No.  Because this contradicts God being almighty.  God could create nothing that He couldn't do with as He pleases.

sure it isnt.....He never intended to lose us in the garden of eden,He has never approved of any thing or any one that goes against His perfect will,lastly He has never encouraged any one to do wrong or evil,we have free will to choose what we will

The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil is Free Will, our ability to choose.  If God did not set that Tree in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve would not have free will but would merely be robots.  God's ultimate plan was to give his creation the ability to choose.  Just like a parent would tell their child to beware of something, God did the same for Adam and Eve. God told them to not eat of the Tree just like a parent will tell a child not to do certain things because the parent may know more.  It doesn't mean that the child is not able to do it.  He/she can but the consequences that follow are entirely that child's responsibility.  Unfortunately in the case of Adam and Eve, the consequences of their decision had cosmic-sized consequences.  But the important point is that God wants freely willing people to have a relationship with him.  It's always been a choice and it will always be one.  That's my understanding and hopefully that helps.

Eve (before she was deceived by the serpent) b/c i would be in paradise with God and a perfect man.

In theory this does make sense.  Any other sin you commit would fall under disobedience.  The Bible commands you not to commit adultery.  So the sin you are forgiven for is not the adultery but the disobedience against the commandment.

This is all assuming there was a place called the Garden of Eden, that Adam and Eve are the ancestors of all mankind, and that some control freak God gave them paradise, and then put one restriction on it. Awfully manipulative don'cha think?\nI sometimes wonder it that story wasn't created to explain why we don't all live in "paradise". What did "we" do to anger our God so that he would leave us in this sometimes harsh reality?\n\nCouldn't the big G, just give us a place to live of peace and tranquilty where we could live out or days happy and content?\n\nNo, you can only know up if you know down, you can only know right when you know left, you know night when you know day.... etc.\nLife is experience, life is choices, life is choosing to do more for others than you do for yourself or to choose only to care for your needs.\nIt was Man's test of himself (the apple I mean) not God's test of Man's loyalty or listening skills.\n\nIn the end I believe man wants to be challenged, he wishes to fight, seeks adventure, and suffers because of it, yet he also gains satisfaction and assuredness about his place in the universe.

it all depends on what the word says.Eve didnt make Adam eat the fruit,some christians may say stuff cause there confused.Adam wanted to listen to man kind not God,so that left him with a curse,and it depends on how many sins you did and if u live your life the way god wants us to!!!!!

It's not that He "can't", but that He won't.  It would defeat the purpose of His having given us a little thing called free will.  And no, we were not made to be perfect.  He knew, and knows, how everything is going to turn out.  He knew what was going to happen in the Garden of Eden too.

God made a mistake. He let his son die (what a dad) and the majority of the people on this Earth don't wish to be Christian. Jesus would have accomplished nore if he was allowed to continue living his life,  doing the great things that he did.

We would not have ever come into existence. If Eve and later Adam had not partaken of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they would have never become mortal, they would have lived forever (alone) in the Garden of Eden, and mankind would have never come about.  The entire plan of our Heavenly Father to allow his children to come to earth and gain mortal bodies would have been frustrated.  Adam fell that men might be, and men are that they might have joy.

Well, it is possible, but He wouldn't. God is not one to bombard into your life if you don't want Him in it. God allows His Children the freedom of choice, that is, free will. This was decided at the beginning of time, Adam and Eve ate the apple because God gave them the choice. Understand, though, that every choice has consequences, whether that be positive or negative. Often, those consequences are built into the action itself. For example, the Adam and Eve story. They were warned by God to avoid the fruit, yet they ate it anyways. As a result, sin entered the world. Being that this was the tree of life and knowledge, we could anticipate that this would be the result of the decision. The same is true for anything else in life. God bless!\n\nThis does not prove against His omnibenevolence, as He is perfectly capable of forcing you to believe in Him. He just chooses not to force it upon you, because He loves you to the point of giving you free will. He will never force anyone to do anything. In His goodness and mercy, that is the way He is.

Well I guess free thinking in  it simplicity isn't the sin, yet God knew when Eve ate the forbidden fruit, her free thinking would allow humankind to sin. He realized it was inevitable, that's why it's seen as sin-like. As for healing and medicine...we were meant to heal. It's our way of correcting the sin our "free thinking" caused.

The first sin of Eve.  We'd still be living in a Garden of Eden and everything would be glorious.
