I remember Genesis 3:16 all too well. The early chapters of Genesis are mythical and poor even as an allegory. If ignorance is a vice, I shall do satan's bidding, and at any rate I will not take as part of God's Word something that suggests that God is punishing women through childbirth. |
emnity does not necessarily mean punishment through child birth.
locke I am no theologian but i think man is born with evil and good in their heart. it is consequence for the first sin. before then, humans had no sin. heck we ran around naked with no cares at all. we were the Children of God. but sin or evil, crept into our lives because of the works of a fallen angel and we were accepting to him.
Yet God still considers us His children and He will consider the worst sinner one of His children even until their death.
This to me is the definition of free will.
