From Adam to Christ
Like for like, the last Adam.
Pont one.
The Supreme Being, as Grand Creator has unquestionable right to do anything, even if, in our comparable limited view, may be incomprehensible.
But, when we manufacture things we do test them, ourselves. In a much more profound way,
a test of obedience was placed before Adam.
Possibly this test was related to Eve, by Adam, but, the fact is, she was aware of it.
The promised penalty for disobedience was death, or, non-existence [dust back to dust].
Point two.
Without the intervention of a spirit being, there was nothing to support any tendency for man to disobey God.
The spirit being who rebelled, did so, based on a selfish thought, that was entertained. This
eventually led to an act of betrayal and deceit.
No doubt, Satan preyed on the innocence of Eve, deceiving her into believing that she was speaking to a snake/ serpent, promoting the forbidden fruit, over time. Until her desire for the forbidden fruit and the promised ability to choose for herself what was right or wrong, overshadowed the 'lie' [as said by Satan] of death or non-existence.
Point three
God decides what to foreknow, and so He is selective in this endeavor.
The first lie, as resulted from the rebel angel who made himself an adversary or Satan, was not perceived according to Biblical records. So the temptation from a spirit [as regards Eve being deceived by Satan], and the temptation from a human [as regards Eve giving the forbidden fruit to her husband], were not perceived by God, according to Biblical records.
Point four.
God's power was never in contention, in this issue.
Satan was very careful not to let Jehovah's power, be a part of the issue that he raised.
Rather, he was relying on Jehovah's perfect sense of justice. Here it was that God commissioned the first pair to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. But, He also said that
death would befall them if they failed the test of obedience. In addition to all this the millions of angelic sons were witnesses of how this delicate situation would unfold.
Satan charged that it would be best for man to decide for himself what is right and what is bad.
Destroying the rebels outright, would not have been wise or just. The issue of Jehovah's right to decide for man what was right and wrong, would be settled with mankind living relatively independent of God, for a PERIOD OF TIME.
During this time the consequences of man's independence, will be evident to all.
Jehovah's communication with man, was chiefly to ensure that the plan of reconciliation of obedient members will be achieved. The prophecy at Genesis 3:15 was the first of many, to this end. Jehovah has used faithful angels and prophets, to progressively reveal by whom and by what means, mankind's salvation from Adamic death, would be achieved.
This has been accomplished, the faith is still alive roughly 2000 years after the Word of God, was sent as the last Adam [a perfect man], whose perfect life was given as a propitiatory sacrifice for that lost by Adam. 1 Corinthians 15:15 to 45.
Christ was raised as an immortal Spirit Son, of Jehovah. Soon, Satan and all his cohorts will be
crushed to oblivion. In the meantime it is decision time. Deuteronomy 30:19, Proverbs 27:11.
