Have you ever felt like God is punishing the human race because of Adam and Eve's sins?

I mean why couldn't he of choosen to let the human race continue to live in the garden of Eden as if nothing had happened and only punish them for sinning instead of punishing the whole world?

    Your right he is punishing us. The good news is, He has prepared a place for us that is BETTER than the garden of eden. It is heaven...and we can spend an eternity with Him there if we confess our sins because He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all our sinful ways and believe in our heart that Jesus is Lord!

    that's the Christian god for you. Judaism has no such theory as unique Sin in any admire. Or all people going to three eternal burning hell to be tortured perpetually. Or all people even going to heaven, for that count number. Or human blood sacrifices for sin the two. Or the rest that Christianity has and believes in. yet fairly proper on your question is the actuality that there's no such factor as unique Sin in Judaism. it extremely is a theory completely made up via the Gentile Christian Church leaders, via employing perverted and twisted meanings to the tale of Adam and Eve in the Jewish Torah. So now you're able to ask why did they do this? nicely, in case you instruct people who they are born filthy and sinful, after which you furnish the only skill obtainable to keep the people from that situation, the place do the people could pass to get saved from this situation? To you, of direction. whilst bringing all their sources to you, and providing you with total administration over their lives. See how that works? P.S. the actual Jewish messiah has not something in any admire to do with all people's salvation, nor does he die as a virgin human sacrifice, neither is he God. in actuality the assumption of all people even desiring salvation, would not exist in Judaism. Wakey, wakey!

    Obviously He felt like He shouldn't have punished all mankind for the sin of the first man because He sent His only son to die for us, all of us including you and me so that we have forgiveness of sins, not just that sin that Adam and Eve did, but every sin we commit from now on is already forgiven. That doesn't sound like punishment to me.

    No, God isn't punishing us. He gave us Jesus as the ultimate sacrifice. If we were placed in the same situation, we would most likely do the same thing if we didn't know what would happen at the end, just like Adam and Eve.

    Because we would eventually keep repeating the same sins they committed, and we still do, when Adam and Eve sinned they did not only sin for themselves, but they brought sin into a sinless world.

    I am a diffrent realigoin and I belive that that's an example for all of us. That it isnt his fault and that what god says we have to follow that. I dont know about your religion but Adam and eva are humans and they are curios about things and what would happen if you did that just like Pandora's box

    Sin carries its own punishment....God's punishment doesn't come until AFTER death.

    Only the immature try to blame God for the misery of their own sins.

    God is not punishing us, because he gave us Jesus. Jesus died for us and as a result heaven was created. So even if life on Earth is currently pretty crappy, if you are good, heaven will be the result.
