[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tora Ziyal: [QB] "Satan killed them, if you remember the story, not God." How very convenient. "Back then, a country was essentially held together by everyone believing in the same gods" Using that definition, do you consider Jews and Muslims "fallen from God" because they don't believe in Jesus as the Messiah? "it's like letting a kid do whatever he wants, but giving him a set of rules to follow. He still has free will, and can choose to follow the rules or not to, but you're gonna punish him if he doesn't." That analogy doesn't make as much sense if you look at teenager psychology. Adolescence is period of growth for, but not limited to, the emotional part of the mind. Why do teenagers tend to do risky things and defy their parents? To put it simply, they're testing their boundaries. They want to see what happens if they don't do what parents say, what school says, what society says. Considering this, parents should *expect* their teenager to rebel at one time or another, WHICH brings back another question. Wouldn't God KNOW beyond a doubt that those who disobeyed him were GOING to disobey him? Then, as with Adam and Even, the punishment is a sham. But, as I said before, you can't learn from your mistakes if you're not alive. I've read lots of stories about teenagers who messed up their lives during adolescence but managed to live a more meaningful life in their twenties (if they're still alive). Even human parents (sane ones) don't kill their rebel teenagers for messing up. [/QB][/QUOTE]
