My question is why did God allow Adam and Eve to inhabit the garden of Eden even if HE knows that these two could make a sin which strictly warned them to eat its fruits. He also knows that they will fall into sin and the consequences they suffer when they committed.The bible declare He is the Alpha and Omega which mean the begining and end.Now if God truly full of mercy and compassoinate one why did he allow Adam and Eve to fall for it, He can change the situation if he want want. He's God right?What about you what is your opinion over this event?

He knew full well that they could sin as he gave them free will the same as we have today. Maybe God was hoping that they would make the right choice the same as he does today with all of us.
If God would have steped in and kept Adam and Eve from sinning they would have no longer have had free will. But God did try to help them as he told them to avoid the tree of knowledge and it was their choice to believe the serpent.
This is my simple opinion on the matter and I hope it helps to answer your questions.
HAVE A GREAT DAY & MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Yes, God knows everything,but Satan the old serpent is clever and full of tricks.Satan choose Eve to be seduce in eating the fruit that is forbidden.If Adam is there in that moment,i think it would be a different story,think.

God has given man the freedom of choice. Because of lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and pride of life, Eve took the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil and ate then she gave to Adam who also ate and so they violated the only commandment of God then and they were separated from God. For God to be with man again, He sent His only begotten Son into the world to take away the sin of the world. But this is not automatic, only those who obey God will be saved in the last day.

From my understanding about Adam and Eve, God gave them free will to do anything they want except eating fruits at the forbidden tree. For preventing Adam and Eve, it is somewhat God's test if they really are faithful to God. But then Eve got tempted to eat an apple from that forbidden tree, and so as Adam. It simply hows that no matter how God told them to follow what he says them to do and not to do, they still God tempted by the devil..

I was always under the impression that God allowed Adam & Eve to go in the garden because he gave them free will... Really I don't know what to think, in some ways I think it is just a creation story/myth like all cultures have...
