You obviously do not understand God's holiness....

You had free will to post....😕

Originally posted by AThousandYoungYou are right in that Christ is the only sinless man who ever walked the earth. However, you are wrong in that we are all forced to choose sin. If this is so then why did Chirst say he came to break the power of sin and death in our lives? We may have been born in sin but that does not mean we must also die in our sins.
If sin is something we choose or choose not to do, then it stands to reason that there are occasionally people who never sin. Now Jesus was supposedly one of these people, but he was supposedly God so there might be special rules for him.
Is it possible that there are people who are not God yet have managed to choose not to sin?
Originally posted by doodinthemoodYes, but you decided, no?

Of course. But Adam and Eve have been dead for a long time.

Originally posted by checkbaiterRight. In Genesis 2, the animals are formed after Adam's formation.
I don't understand your comment. If the bible does not say, then I do not know....
Gen 2:19-20
19 Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name.
20 So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field....

Um, no it does not say before. It simply says they were formed. In Genesis 2 there is more detail....
Originally posted by NemesioNo, I think you are right. He created the animals first. Genesis 1 contains the order of events, Genesis 2 contains detail not given in Gensesis 1. I don't see a problem here.
Genesis 1:24-26
[i]Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth all kinds of living creatures:
cattle, and all kinds of creeping things, and wild animals of all kinds."
And so it happened: God made all kinds of wild animals, all kinds of
cattle, and all kinds of creeping things of the earth. God saw how good
it was. [b]Then God said: "Let us make man ...[text shortened]... you're telling me that this text says that man was created before
the animals?
