Eh? Based on the sentences before, this statement not only dies of idiocy, but of loneliness, as well.

It is impossible that Adam could have taken an omniscient god by surprise.
That's kind of the idea behind omniscience, don't you think?

So it is abundantly clear that if mankind is in a "fallen" state, it is because that is exactly where god wanted them to be.
Another lonely assertion based on ignorance.

No, what you are doing is being an asshole in my thread. He was just simply posting his opinion. The question isn't whether or not he is right, it is would you eat the apple.

This is my last post about this because all we are doing is spamming my thread.

This may not be your last post for long. You'll probably find out what being moderated is like yourself. I am not alerting you, but I don't doubt someone else will.

If his skin is so thin as to be pricked by the slightest provocation, it's doubtful alerting the moderator over his junior-high school vocabulary will yield much by way of result.
