What if Adam stayed in the garden and had not transgressed?
Some told me that Mankind is tainted with original sin,
But I think if man stayed in the garden he would never had progressed.
I asked my friends, "Why did God create Man?
They say, "God wanted someone to choose to worship him".

What if Adam stayed in the Garden and had not transgress?
Would there be any atheist? Agnosticism? or a variety of churches?
No, of course not, because God is there to tell you what's right and what's wrong.
So, would be really choosing to worship God?
If God's there 24/7 are we really choosing to follow him?

What if Adam did transgress and left the Garden?
We would be put out in the world alone,
and put to the test to come back to God relying on the Prophets.
It would require more work on our part,
and I would work and endure it all for Him.

So is it really a Sin or a Test?

It's been a while since I did something religious. So I thought I might do something that's been on my mind lately. I know most Christian churches believe that the Original Sin is a bad thing. I believe differently. Most people I know say the purpose of our existence is to choose to worship God. And I thought that doctrine they believed in clashed with their view of Adam's Transgression. So thus this was created. Before you post a comment saying why my view is wrong, please put some thought into it. Don't rage against me. I like to have good religious conversations, and i can't talk with a raging lion. If you're of a different faith or no faith of all, please but your thoughts too. I like to listen to you too. Any way, it'll probably be a while til I do something religious again, but let me know if you what to know my view of something else. And have a great day!

It was a test the way I see it. God put Adam and Eve in an environment perfect for them to grow spiritually with him without any sort of interference from other religions or atheists, but he wanted them to be able to choose, he didn't want to force them into it. That's where the part of humans having a free will comes into play, if he hadn't given us that we would be blindly following him and we wouldn't have a choice or know any different. He wanted us to be able to choose to follow him though because when you choose to follow someone that bond is stronger than being forced to follow them.
