Did Adam make the right choice?

[Revelations won]

Did Adam make the right choice?

Did Adam make the right choice in partaking of the fruit from the tree of knowledge and should we be grateful to him and give due respect and honor our first earthly parents?

2. Did Adam’s choice prohibit anyone from receiving ALL that our Father in heaven has ever promised us pertaining to our eternal destiny?

Kind regards,

I think Adam and Eve made the wrong choice. Instead of trusting in their omniscient, omnibenevolent Creator, they chose to trust their own limited wisdom to decide what would be good/bad for them. So, I don’t think we should honor them for that. I don't think this choice prohibited anyone from receiving all God has for them, though.

God warned Adam that if he disobeyed he would die. We owe old age, sickness and death to Adam's disasterous and selfish decision; so unless children dying'of cancer, is in your opinion, is a good trade off for everlasting life in perfect health in a paradise garden, no, Adam did not, in my opinion make the right decision.

But wasn't this all a setup? God being omniscient (Isaiah 46:10) and knowing before Adam was ever created that he would disobey god and eat the apple? It certainly appears to be. Adam was destined to eat the apple and bring about old age, sickness, and death no matter what. It was a foregone outcome from day one.

.. God ... knowing before Adam was ever created that he would disobey god and eat the apple?

I disagree with your premise.

That god knew before Adam was ever created that he would disobey him and eat the apple? Why wouldn't god know such a thing?

Logically, he wouldn't know if he chose not to know. Unless omnipotent has a different meaning, if he didn't want to know .... He didn't know.

Not talking about omnipotence but omniscience

om·nis·cience
/ämˈniSH(ə)ns/
noun: omniscience
..... the state of knowing everything.
source:Oxford Languages

Which means god already knew. Choosing doesn't even enter into the equation.

We have to figure in omnipotence because the Bible God is BOTH omniscience and omnipotent. And omnipotence [which by definition] trumps omniscience , means he would only have known if he had WANTED to know.

No, Adam didn't make the right choice. He would've had never-ending life with all the wonderful things God had in mind for him and his progeny, yet he chose to spurn Jehovah and prefer independence from God. Every evil thing that happens on this Earth can be traced back to Adam's choice.
