The whole universe was.
-
Yes, from my understanding, Adam and Eve didn’t sin until they first sinned.
-
They couldn’t be that close to God with sin. They had complete closeness with Him and no sin.
-
That is a silly question. How can they be something until they first do something?
-
The earth was shapeless until He gave it shape…. See my point ?
-
Yes. They were sinless UNTIL they actually ate of the fruit of the tree of knowledge.
-
Yes, they were created sinnless as God said after He created them that everything was very good.
Sin is a voice to disobey, sin is not nature, it is choice. -
We have the account of when they sinned & you studied theology? Try reading the Bible.
-
Does anyone look at their bible before asking questions here? I think some of these are atheist bots just trying to engender strife.
-
Bible is plain… better look into the Bible before you seek others opinion.
-
This group is getting worse. It used to be thoughtful posts. Now it’s just stupid questions
-
Created in God’s image and by God = sinless.
-
And God saw all that He had made, and it was very good.
-
Yeah. God created them and then said it was all good. He wouldn’t say that concerning sin.
-
yes, there was no law thus nothing to disobey
-
I COMMEND THIS HOUSE FOR THEIR WISDOM,BUT LET OUR QUESTIONS Be BASED ON GOD’SOUTH WORDS.
-
Sin entered when they disobeyed God and ate the fruit of the tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.
-
I just joined this group in search for apologetics. I find the same strife and hatred. I found this to be a genuine question from someone who doesn’t know. In the same regard, if you are all such saints, why are you bickering instead of discussing the question. To those who answered the question, I agree. I commend you. To the rest, gratitude, humbleness, and kindness go a long way. May Jesus Christ himself help you with the answer.
-
Yes And saw everything was good. Once they sinned they lost access to the tree of life and knew they were naked or they had lost the righteousness of God which clothed them.
-
Yes, that’s why they didn’t spiritually die until they disobeyed God.
-
I love the design of your question and yhe colors make me feel relaxed. Just the question stands for it alone, looks beautiul and has no urge to be answered in what so ever way.
-
I’m not sure what you’re seeking, but I discern it’s more than the question suggests. Were they created sinless? Yes. Now remember Lucifer and 33% of the angels rebelled against God, and what happened to them? God cast then down to earth. That is how evil came to Earth. It was here now, and quickly sought out Eve. Eve was deceived and discarded the Word of God not to eat of that tree. Adam was not deceived, but listened to his wife over God. Is what you want to ask how was it possible for Adam and Eve to go against God?
-
Of course they were sinless. We are also born sinless. But they were prone to sing and that is why they were given rules about what to do and not to do.
-
It’s obvious they were, but hey, I’m waiting for some legends in their own minds denouncing 6000 years of revelation and theology to come up with some AMAZINGLY NEW INSIGHTS because the weakest church in history has been ignoring the sound foundations of Reformed Theology and now we have a hornets nest of self proclaimed experts reinventing everything.
-
Sin happened only when they ate the fruit.
-
Very good question that can enlighten many!
Listen: First thing to understand is why did they not just go to Heaven or were allowed to go to Heaven after Creation but were left in the ” garden of Eden?” Because they needed to DEVELOP themselves in a PARTICULAR way! I illustrate with a child: a new born child has no sin, knows no bad BUT IT NEEDS TO GROW INTO ADULTHOOD!; if they grow up and start living only in a righteous way, they will never know pain and damnation because we reap what we Sow! But if we grow, get corrupted by sin, we start to suffer, ending up badly! Remember, THE CHOICE IS OURS TO DO GOOD OR BAD!
That is exactly how it was with Adam and Eve; they had the choice to do the right thing and become saved, or wrong and become doomed! Another serious qualification: THE GOOD OR PARTICULAR WAY FOR ADAM AND EVE, LIKE ALL HUMANS TO DEVELOP CORRECTLY WAS A LIFE BASED ON LOVE FOR SPIRITUAL THINGS, AND THE WRONG WAY OR SINFUL LIFE, A LIFE BASED ON THE LOVE OF ONLY EARTHLY THINGS( forbidden fruit!)
So, the important thing is not whether they were created without a sin( of course there was none,) but for them to live and develop without a sin! -
Yes, sinless is the correct term. Not prefect because there can only be one: God.
-
Yes. Sin is not imputed where there is no law. God had not even given Adam a law to break when he was created, much less had they formed the intention to do so. They were functionally immortal (death had not yet entered the world), and it was not until their first sin that death actually entered the world.
-
Adam was told not to eat from the tree of life. He did
-
There is nothing here to explain if u understand what sin means.
-
Yes, they were sinless. There was no sin nature in them.
-
Sin is disobedience. Adam and Eve sinned when they disobeyed. All of sins are disobedience.
God forbids to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge. Thats the only rule and they still did. Knowing that there is the fruit of the tree of eternal life.So when they were created they havent disobeyed so they havent sinned. They are sinless. Unlike us, because of that moment that they ate the fruit, the sin were passed on.
-
Yes everything God made was good. Yet mutable
Then the fall. -
Genesis – they were not knowledgeable of good AND evil, only what God had provided for them, but He commanded that they not eat of the forbidden fruit of the two trees in the middle of the Garden wherein He had placed them. But, then the evil one – full of him self – came, disguised himself in the serpent, and beguiled (lied and tricked) the weaker vessel into eating that which was forbidden, and then that weaker vessel took it to the man, Adam, who also ate …. and then their eyes became opened …. and with this deception and wrong choosing …. “because the fruit looked good” and it seemed like a good idea to know such a thing and “be like God” …. with the eating of the fruit (disobedience to God’s commandment) …. came forth corruption and death to all of man kind thereafter.

Posse peccare

Ecclesiastes 7:29 KJV
Lo, this only have I found, that God hath MADE MAN UPRIGHT; but they have sought out many inventions. -
They ate boogers
-
yes !! GOD was dwelling among them in the garden untill they disobeyed GOD. then sin entered in them which got them separated from GOD’s HOLY presence.
-
Adam and Eve were sinless when they were made and placed in the Garden. We know this because God placed before them the choice of life (the Tree of Life, trust in God) and death (the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, refusing to trust God). It is the same choice each one of us faces, life in Christ by trusting His work on the cross to save us, or death by refusing to trust Him.
Furthermore, AFTER Adam and Eve made their choice by refusing to trust God, He handed down punishments for their disobedience. No punishments were in place prior to their sin.
-
Yes
-
Before they sinned, they were!
-
They were created good but innocent and untried with the capability of sin as reflected in God’s warning not to eat the fruit of the tree of Good and Evil.
-
Yes
-
Yes. They were sinless. They were created by God. Sin enteted them lateron through serpents tempting words about eyeopening fruit.
-
God created Adam, Eve and the world perfect! flawless when adam chose to walk outside the obedience of God sin was not just introduced to Himself but his bloodline. and into every aspect of our world.
im sure sin came in like a cancer cell into the body as time goes on sin reproduced until it kills its host. you may not see it at first but God knows that from adam all things carry the sin gene.
-
sin was based on a command
no command means no sin -
Sounds like my seminary class: Genesis 101.
-
100%
-
Sin didn’t enter into humanity until the fall. God made Adam and Eve perfect, and sinless. Why would God create His favorite part of creation with His most hated thing in the world?
-
“Sin is the transgression of the law” (1 John 3:4). When Adam and Eve were created, we are told of only one law they had to obey: to not eat of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. They were sinless until they violated that one law.
-
Do you know the Bible or unnecessarily wasting others tome
-
if they were made with sin, Gods creation wouldn’t be “very good” or “exceedingly good” as some translations put it… after the first sin brought in death
-
Yes, until they broke the only rule.
-
No. Cause they were human without divinity.
-
Yes! …until they rebelled sin was not in the world.
Rom 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
-
I don’t think they were sinless, only God is sinless, they were more like innocent!
-
When God finished all creation He said it is good. God is good, good is righteous and holy, just and fair. Adam and Eve were created without sin.
-
O course they were created sinless and yet they had the capability to disobey God this is called freewill. What you really need to look at is what they sowed into their flesh bodies when they disobeyed God because that effected all mankind and the creation from that point on.
-
Yes. Sin is disobedience – or rebellion – against God’s commands. They did not disobey God when they were created. Once they disobeyed God and ate the forbidden fruit, sin entered in.
-
Adam and Eve committed the first sin “original sin”.
-
Sin is a choice, not a substance.
-
I was childless until I was pregnant. I’m not fully understanding your lack of understanding the ability to do something when there is free will.
-
Yes they had no sin in them at the time, they had no sin till Satan came along and tempted them to sin
