Drich Wrote:(bolding added)Darkstar Wrote:God didn't give us any morals. How is that not a defect?Because their was only one way to sin back then, all we had to understand was not to fall into that sin. (again Morality has little to do with identifying sin)
So you do or do not admit that Adam and Eve were capable of understanding that eating the fruit was objectively wrong? (Assuming that it even was)
