If God genuinely didn’t want Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit why didn’t he just have a cherub guard it? He apparently had no issue having a cherub guard Eden after Adam and Eve were banished
Because He was testing them
>>17272900In case you haven't noticed yet, God likes to trick people into committing various sins by dangling tempting things in front of their face, so he can have an excuse to punish them afterwards
>>17272900so you are expecting jewish fairy tales to make sense? don't you know that jews are turbo schizo?
>>17272901Why would he need to test them? He’s omniscient
>>17272955Probably so He could prove to them and make it very clear they deserved to be expelled from the Eden
>>17272900The real plot hole is how is God real if bad thing happen?
>>17272955Can an omnipotent being make contradictory things true at once? The answer must be yes. He made humans with their own godlike ability to decide their own actions and instantly regretted it. Only noah the good goy did he approve of.
>>17272900I think the implicit incestuous birth of the rest of humanity is a bigger plot hole but yeah that's also one. The Bible is filled with those, as well as straight up contradictions though.http://media.isnet.org/kmi/off/XXtian/101ContradictionsInTheBible.pdf
>>17272955test was for the humans, not God
>>17272955Because it doesn't eliminate choice.God may know all possibilities and all things are possible but reality isn't locked in until you do it yourself.
