You
@post (since you assumed
@Renniks position) are contradicting the Apostle Paul who wrote all time prior to the present with "until now" (Romans 8:20-22) or using what you submitted - prior to "right up to the present time" which means all God created was "very good" (Genesis 1:31) for the creation fits into God's Plan of Redemption through the Christ for mankind before the foundation of the world (see the original post).
Back to you contradicting Paul with your writing of "Not always" directly subtracting "until now" (Romans 8:22).
That "until now" (Romans 8:22) includes "the whole creation" (Romans 8:22).
That "whole creation" (Romans 8:20-22) includes Adam.
Paul includes the "not willingly" (Romans 8:20-22) to apply to the time that Adam ate of the tree (Genesis 3:6).
"Not willingly" (Romans 8:20) for Adam by Paul indicates "not choice" for the recorded words in (Genesis 3:6).
"Not willingly" (Romans 8:20) for Adam by Paul indicates "not freewill" for the recorded words in (Genesis 3:6).
Paul wrote Romans 8:20-22, and his writing is Christian doctrine, but self-willed people (2 Peter 2:9-10) call this Christian doctrine strange things like hypercalvinism.
this is rubbish, friend.
you're so obsessed with your hyper-calvinism that you aren't reading the text.
all you do when you look at it is think of how to deny anyone's independent volition in it.
but i ain't even addressing that, as i told you. i'm just talking about what is going on in Genesis 3, because until we get that straight, we can't talk about your hypercalvinism.
Adam was not deceived ((1 Timothy 2)) therefore Adam knew exactly what he was doing.
Nothing in 1 Timothy 2 declared that Adam was imparted free will.
Woman was first in transgression but sin & death entered the world through Adam ((Romans 5))
Adam sinned in a different way than his wife ((Romans 5))
Adam sinned knowing exactly what he was doing, fully knowing he was doing evil,
Nothing in Romans 5 declared that Adam was imparted free will.
You just wickedly added "choosing" into "he ate" (Genesis 3:6) where the word "choosing" does not exist.
he 'listened to the voice of his wife'
You just wickedly subtracted the prior two Word of God of "Because you" by which God attributes the cause of Adam eating of the tree to Adam "listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat from it’" (Genesis 3:17); therefore, the cause is not freewill per the Word of God recorded in Genesis 3:17.
and that was sin: he wasn't deceived in doing it, and he understood completely that it was contrary to God's will, and he fully comprehended that doing so was evil, not good.
You just wrote that Adam had the knowledge of good and evil prior to the time that Adam ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
You just subtracted the Word of God "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil" (Genesis 3:22).
it is said of Adam, and Adam only that he 'became like one of Us knowing good from evil'
-- the language is clear; it is not 'mankind' and it is singular, carrying the definite article, it is the name "Adam"
why is Woman not included in this statement?
because Satan was lying when he told her that she would 'become like God and know good from evil' by eating the tree.
it isn't because of their eating that Adam became a type of Christ. it isn't because of the fruit of the tree of surely-die that he knew good from evil.
You in your self-proclaimed godness you gave the tree of the knowledge of good and evil an unscriptural name of "the tree of surely-die".
You convey that it is the tree of death, such evil in the name you assign.
The Word of God uses "the tree of the knowledge of good and evil" (Genesis 2:16-17).
it's because he changed his wife's name from Woman to Eve.
Adam added another identifier for his wife. Her name was not changed.
"She shall be called woman" (Genesis 2:23), so Adam did not say her name is woman; therefore, you just added "named" to and subtracted "called" from scripture.
While Adam's wife was still a woman, Adam gave her the name Eve.
That is not the extraction of one name and the insertion of a new name as a replacement.
that is the order of events: God pronounces judgements, Adam changes his dead wife's name to "life", God sheds the blood of a lamb to makes garments for Adam & Eve, and says BEHOLD Adam has become like Elohim, knowing good-from-evil.
so you have to figure out the answer to this question: why did Adam change her name? why does God say BEHOLD and who is God saying BEHOLD to? that's 3rd person, 'Adam has become.. ' -- God isn't talking to Adam. whose benefit is this said for, and why?
Your question is based on dead man's additions to scripture and subtractions from scripture, so your question is just part of the dung heap of the precepts of men (Matthew 15:9), so your question is to be ignored, so there is no need to answer your question.
Furthermore, you just subtracted the Apostle Paul's writing that Adam did not willingly eat of the tree because Paul conveyed that nothing in creation willingly subjected anyting in creation to futility with Paul's writing of "the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly" (Romans 8:20).
You proclaim "the word of you". For you adulterate the Word of God with "choose" such that it is no longer the Word of God.
Still, no free will written in the creation account (Genesis 1:1-31 Genesis 2:1- 25 Genesis 3:1-24), with Paul in accord for he conveyed that Adam "not willingly" ate of the tree since Paul included all time prior to Paul's birth by his writing "until now" (Romans 8:20-22).
Just as the original post shows richly in scripture, Adam was not imparted free will, and no man thereafter was imparted free will neither.
