Poor Adam and Eve
The devil in the form of a Talking Serpent was in direct communication with Eve. God in the form of a Burning Bush had a talking relationship with Adam. Yet, in the Garden of Eden, there was nobody to protect Adam and Eve away from the evil called Original Sin. Poor Adam and Eve. Nobody told them about the power of prayer through Jesus Christ, our Lord, the Son of God, the Prince of Peace, the Savior of mankind. And to think that Jesus admitted that “I and my father are one.” <
In the meantime, a God who allows Himself to be crucified on the cross by men created in His own image and likeness deserves to die on such a cross. Poch Suzara

The greatest gift God gave to Man was free will. Without it man could not be truly happy. He would be an automaton. Scientists who believe in both God and evolution surmise that our hominid (apelike) ancestors became man when they developed complex enough brains to be able to think abstractly and reflectedly. That could have been the beginning of free will. Adam and Eve did have their protection. It was a program called conscience but they did not use it or heed it.
The offense of man against God could never have been repaid by man. Supreme justice however required that the offense be punished and payment made. Mankind has to pay so God made himself man and recompensed for our sins. In other words, there being no other to pay for our sins, God sent Himself. I am grateful to Him for doing that.
Dear deusvolt,
Even if there is freewill, Christians cannot explain where evil came from. Freewill is just about choices. Freewill can exist even if there's no evil. Now don't tell me that evil was created by God, if so, then why sacrifies himself in order to save us from something he created. That doesn't make any sense.
