Oh, and in what universe was that an answer to my question?
In this one, why do you live in a different one.
My bad. I made the mistake of asking you two questios, so you ignored the real one answered the rhetorical one.
Wont do that again.

Would you be willing to allow God to work through you so your children can learn about Christ, see that's the way it works. I did not answer the first question because you want except the truth and reality of God.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Notice how it always comes back to real people actually doing the work?
That should tell you something.

That doesn't even make sense, only God can call one to salvation, only God can move the heart of man toward Christ, where are you in this.

And yet... people have to keep convincing other people that said god exists in the first place...
(oh, and it happens the same way for any religion, cult, myth.... that should tell you something)

And yet "he" insists on remaining behind the curtains while real people propagate his bullshit.

At a safe distance, thank you very much.

Yes it does. It's some kind of religious Amway MLM deal.

Anyone who does not teach their children about Christ, and God said "it would be better for that person to put a millstone around their neck and jump into the sea."
But the question was: why did god leave Adam and Eve, his beloved people, alone with the serpent in the garden?
Oh, and why create the tree for the serpent to hang out on anyway? Seriously, I want to know the answer to that one.

Were does scripture say God left them alone in the Garden, I find that very difficult to believe, don't you?
What tree, I did not know the serpent was in a tree. You'll have to explain that one to me, please.

Okay, see, now you're stuck, because your options are to either tell me that you believe god watched the serpent mislead his creations without doing anything, or that he was absent when it occurred.
As for a scriptural reference, Genesis 3:8. They hear god approaching, indicating that he wasn't present. Now, you can resort to the whole "god is everywhere" thing, but then you're back to telling me god allowed Satan the run of his favored creations.
Quote:What tree, I did not know the serpent was in a tree. You'll have to explain that one to me, please.
The tree of knowledge of good and evil: why did it exist in the first place? What reason did god have to create a tree that he would forbid anyone to eat the fruit thereof? What is the purpose of this tree, other than to act as a reason to boot Adam and Eve from the garden?
