The Reasons why "Just Following Jesus" Doesn't work

[T.J.]

The rebellion that started from a woman who didn't know right from wrong because God put a tree he didn't want them to eat right where they could eat it and told them not to? Did he not know parenting 101? Tell a child not to do something and they're more likely to do it. Then he acts surprise when they do it when they don't know any better, oh and they didn't die like he said they would, either, so God's a liar to boot. And if you subscribe to the 'Snake = Satan' theory, not only does God have horrible security, but he's an idiot too for punishing snakes on a whole for something the devil did.

Yeah, makes sense. We better repent, guys.

She did know right from wrong, her husband Adam, imparted God's command about the trees which she restated to the snake in the garden. She knew what she should have done and what she should not have done. Also God was not surprised nor was He a liar. Adam and Eve died spiritually and then died physically. Also they could have easily call for God to come ( it is not like he didn't know what was going on)  instead they choose to entertain the devil. You have misrepresented the story in Genesis I am not sure if this was on purpose or not, but that is why you are making the errors that you have.

Also God is not judging you for the sins Adam and Eve committed but the wrong you have committed against Him. He is trying to redeem you because He believes you are worth the sacrifice. He values your life and existence and wants you live in truth. That is why He is calling you to repent.

What they ate from was called the 'Tree of Forbidden Knowledge of Good and Evil.' Meaning that before they ate this they didn't know what good and evil were. They didn't know until AFTER they ate of said tree. Furthermore, God did not say, "Eat and your spirit will die." He simply said, "You will die," with no further explanation. Eve was reciting what she was told, and since you do subscribe to the snake = Satan belief, explain to me why God punished snakes at all. They had feet, and now they don't because they were framed by the devil. God's justice is a little skewered there.

I'm a man who sweats, and according to the bible sweat was a punishment to Adam after he disobeyed. All women now feel pain in childbirth because Eve ate a fruit. Yes, according to your book, he IS judging us for their sins. He's punishing an entire species for the act of two people and a devil snake. It's right there in black and white.

All of this could have been avoided with one simple act: DON'T PUT THE FUCKING TREE THERE!
