Garden of Eden was a setup...

[ChristIsLord]

Creation was entirely God's doing; the fall of mankind was man's choice; man chose to disobey God and eat the fruit that God specifically instructed them(Adam & Eve) not to.

Oh, come on. Why don't you introduce yourself first in the intro forum before posting something we have heard about a gazillion times. Repeating it over and over again doesn't make it suddenly more interesting.

I've never stressed that point before and my intention is not to make Gods word "more interesting" but to answer the question that JaceDeanLove was asking.

---

Yes Yahweh supposedly created everything, except for the body of water that was already there when he started, then created a couple of people with free will and gave them a choice. when he didn't like their choice he cursed the land with thorns, made childbirth painful, and forbade them from eating the fruit from the Tree of Life. Everything went to crap, and he tried fixing that with a flood. Everything went to crap again, and he killed his only begotten son which some believe is actually himself. Given his admittance that the path to hell is wide, and the path to heaven is narrow, he pretty much still failed to get even half the population of the world to believe he even exists, while the people who actually worship him kill each other over their interpretation of his teachings.

Actually it was the Tree of Knowledge of Good and evil that God did not want them to eat from.
God did not kill Jesus
God the Son, put on flesh, came down to live and suffer along us and did so without committing a single sin so that He may be presented blameless before the cross.
The RELIGIOUS zealots of the day threw him under the proverbial bus because law precluded them from killing Jesus themselves so they handed Him over to the Romans to do it.
The Romans did the actual killing of Jesus. NOT GOD.

Let me take it one step further....I killed Jesus, I did the first time I sinned
He died for my sins, that I may be reconciled to God the Father who loves me so the He GAVE (not killed) His only begotten Son to die the worst kind of death.....separated from God
