If God is so loving, then why not have multiple ways to seek him? It would mean more people would come to him after all. Wouldn't it? Well, not exactly.

It can be hard to understand an all-knowing, all-powerful, all-loving God. How do we wrap our minds around the idea that God knew Adam and Eve would sin in the Garden and still allowed it?

A relationship with God sounds nice, but what exactly is that? How does a relationship even work if you can't hear or see the person you are in a relationship with? Are Christians the spiritual equivalent of the nerd at band camp who says they have a girlfriend that doesn't exist?

Is knowledge always a good thing? By increasing our knowledge, we can get better jobs, improve our lives, and better understand our universe. Knowledge is the foundation of our modern world. For without knowledge, where would we be? We would probably still be living in caves, without electricity, smartphones, or toilet paper. Who would want that kind of life?

Is obedience really necessary? Do we need to obey God? An all-powerful God shouldn't need us to accomplish His will. If he was omnipotent, why would he need us? He doesn't, but the point of obedience isn't because God needs us or that He can't carry out his will without us. It's not because it makes God feel good about himself to boss us around either.

Were Adam and Eve innocent? It's easy to chalk up their sin to a simple mistake or claim they didn't know what they were doing. They were relatively young. They were the only human beings ever to skip over childhood entirely and go right to adulthood. They were inexperienced. In a way, it is easy to see that they were still children mentally. Children make mistakes. In this light, how can we blame them?
