Why is the sin nature inherited?

[Drich]

I've been doing better lately - not bothering with these sort of posts, but sometimes I just get it under my skin and I have to let it fly.

Eating of the tree of knoweledge seperated man from God. So God gave man over (completely) to his desision to be seperated from Him.

But it was always a Catch 22. Pretending for a moment that the story isn't fictional ...

Even if Adam and Eve hadn't taken a bite of the forbidden fruit, and Cain hadn't killed his brother, eventually some hungry fuck would've come along and screwed it all up. Clearly, mankind was always MEANT to fall,

Holy Crap YES!!! One of you finally gets it!
IF Man Was not Meant to Fall then there would not have been a Tree of Knoweledge!!!!!!!!!!

god created Adam and Eve
god created the tree
god created the fruit
god created the "no-eaty" rule
...and in doing so, god created sin.

YES!!!!!!

There was only one reason to create the tree and make an anti-fruit rule: god HAD to make man fall ... for what reason? Who the fuck knows.

I have been Screaming the answer to this question since I singed on this board and answer this question for the first time!

CHOICE! The Tree was put in the Garden as a true repersentation of Choice. That Choice is simple Do we want to be with God and follow His expressed Will or do we wish to be outside His expressed will. Adam chose to be outside of the will of God and subsequently so do the rest of us. True Choice comes in when we chose to return to God's will when we accept Christ as THE attonement sacerfice for our sins! Meaning Christ literaly absolves all sin and all that is left is the choice one makes to return to God or remain seperated from Him.

No tree = no fruit. No fruit = no rule. No rule = no sin. No sin = no fall.
I mean honestly, how do people not see this? The story does not hold up and even if it did, god would only have himself to blame.

I mean christ! No wonder Lucifer bailed. He was probably thinking to himself, "wow, this god guy is one seriously delusional asshole and may even have a healthy bi-polar disorder."

Which is the reason for the choice we have been given, for not everyone wants to spend an eternity with God.
