Why didn't God say man was good then? It's omitted just as it's omitted on Day Two. Nothing good was made on the second day, that's why.I stand corrected. God said that His creation was "very good" after He created humans, not before.
How is it that God created Adam with evil urges when He said that ALL He created was "very good"? This is illogical and unbiblical. God created Adam and Eve with a free will to choose to obey Him or not. This is not the same thing as being created with evil urges. IOW, what you're saying is a HUGE stretch!
It is not illogical. If man did not have a real choice in the matter, he would not have been as worthy a creation. He would have been a robot.
If there was no evil urge, how could they have acted on it? It's not evil if not acted on. It remains only a potential. More importantly, if not given a real choice, they could not love. God wanted creatures with a potential to love. He wanted them to be as much like Him as possible too; because that meant He could love them more.
I did not say they were evil. I said they had evil urges balanced with good ones. Evil is an imaginary nothingness unless we act on it.To give you an analogy, my children are free to obey me or disobey when I tell them to do something. They have not done anything wrong or bad until they choose to disobey. Having the will to choose didn't make Adam and Eve evil in any way.
We see God doing the same thing here:
Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
We were made to be rewarded when we made the right choices and punished when we chose evil. God wants us all to choose right and life. We all have the potential or urge for evil however.
