Guilty Bystander

Democracy is not freedom. Freedom to choose is NOT freedom. The only fact that we have no choice but to make a choice, robs us of true freedom. The freedom of hot having to make a choice.

There was no freedom in the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve had to choose whether to eat the apple or not.

When we get to heaven, we’ll be free (I hope). We’ll just be there. Just be. No more choices. Maybe this is something to look forward to too.

Why was Adam and Eve punished when it was God who allowed satan to be in the Garden of Eden? Was God hoping that satan would behave himself and wouldn’t try to do anything nasty? Before eating the apple, Eve didn’t know that she was making a wrong choice. If Adam and Eve didn’t know the right from wrong, how would they know that it was wrong to disobey God? God told them, “don’t eat from that tree“, but they didn’t know that it was wrong to eat from it. God just said “when you eat of it you will surely die”, why didn’t He say instead “if you eat of it you will be cursed forever” or something like that? A death may have been a much better option.
