mistakes are the foundation of the life of human nature. all of what making a mistake is, and all of what a mistake is. hence a misconception or misapprehension of the meaning of something; an error or fault in thought or action. all based on who or what is trusted and or believed.

No the reason life s the way it is, is because Adam made the mistake of rebelling against God.
Mistakes are not foundational but they are responcible for the misery that many experience in life.

Fortunetly there is a cure for lifes mistakes.

you just said " is because Adam made the mistake" are you actually paying any attention here? that means you agree, that the life you received when you came into the world is based on "its foundation" mistakes. you can't live another life you haven't received. so in the case of man its based on, hence the foundation is, mistakes.

and you know just as well as anyone that you will make mistakes, you are destined to, as though you are bound to it, because its the life you received coming into the world.

You think Adam consciously and deliberately rebelled against God, do ya?
That's how you see it?

I am glad you say 'mistakes'....cuz there are conscious decisions to do wrong, some call sin...
but a mistake is what most people make...and have regret.
We were made with an ego that lures us to wrong thinking and until we
know we have a choice and the power to say, 'No', to urges to steal that office pen or
have sex with the married neighbor..we fall for urges and stinkin' thinkin'.
Keeping focused on God and His will..love, kindness, generosity, forgiveness...helps.
My input.

One thing I have learned is...we never learn from other peoples mistakes.... some how life demands that we can only learn for our own mistakes.
I tried to give my grandkids wisdom so that they wouldn't have to make as many mistakes,...they'd listen, but no...they had to learn the hard way.
And the hard way is obviously good for us.

It seems a great mistake that turtles lay their eggs in the sand so far from the sea. Every year thousands of eggs hatch and the babies struggle to the water .. half get eaten by the hunting birds waiting. The rest that finally make it to the sea get away safe.
If caring people see this happening , standing by with all their buckets , help by picking them up and run them down to the sea, tipping them out to safety.
And then, sadly they see the babies sink and die.
The 'mistake' of laying the eggs so far up the beach is so that the little turtle legs have time to get strong and gain strength to be able to swim once in the water.
Mistakes are a strange thing.

addressing the OP. one scripture, Romans 8:20 "For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope"

so BG, those turtle legs are true.

Yes I know they are true...so the little turtles can get strength.
But just as true are the silly people who "think" they are helping them to get to the sea.

Just like the man who saw a beautiful Red Admiral butterfly struggling to get out of it's cocoon ...so he snipped the opening for it..."helping"
The poor thing was deformed and could not fly. It died. The action of pushing through the hole is what somehow forms the wings.

Maybe what appears to be "mistakes" in our life is so that we "grow our wings" ...and can Fly!!
