God's Need for Loyalty?

Post #1

Post by Skeptical »

I know that it has been argued and debated that God had to test Adam and Eve in order to see if they were loyal to him or not, but could the human race have gotten along alright if God didn't have the need to know what their loyalty was? Because it still hasn't been adequately explained as to why God needed to be sure of the first human pair's loyalty. However, it has only been dogmatically said that this is what God wanted. Therefore, could humankind had still been successful without a test of loyalty to God, or is this something that God needed to make himself feel more secure? πŸ€” Inquiring minds want to know. πŸ˜‰

So, is that all? Just no?

No, ... I am not saying that James 1:14-15 contradicts 2 Corinthians 11:3. I don't see anything contradictory in the two verses.

No. I didn't say that : which post contains me saying any of that?
You don't need to come right out and say that. πŸ˜•

But if you look, I said that "your answers (or his arguments) are becoming very childish and disingenuous," but not the person himself.
