I know you were trying to make a joke of innocence but you did not, only made yourself look... well silly. Innocence as in "not guilty." Also how is it that the Tree of Life was off limits, God told Adam that only the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was off limits. The reason God took the Tree of Life from the Garden of Eden was so that man would not have to live eternally in sin. Who told you that we were paying for the sin of disobedence by Adam and Eve, this is not the case, we are responsible only for our sin and no one else sin. When Adam and Eve sinned against God it brought the nature of sin into this world and thus gave all of mankind the ability to sin, so you are responsible for your sin and I'm responsible for my sin and unforgiven sin is why one winds up in hell. Forgiveness only comes through the Son of God "our Christ" and is avalible to everyone who desires it.
GC, do you actually believe this to be a literal story? Do you believe that there really were two people named Adam and Eve that lived in a magical garden and were tossed out for disobeying god?
