Main Scriptures

The Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it. But the Lord God warned him, “You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden— except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die.” —Genesis 2:15-17, NLT
Now the man and his wife were both naked, but they felt no shame. —Genesis 2:25, NLT
But if you refuse to serve the Lord, then choose today whom you will serve. Would you prefer the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates? Or will it be the gods of the Amorites in whose land you now live? But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.” —Joshua 24:15, NLT

Is God Good?

What would you list as things you would change about the world if you could?

Why do you think God gave humanity free will, knowing we would make bad choices?

When one loves, there is risk—risk of suffering, risk of loss, risk of rejection. But without this willingness to be wounded on the deepest of levels, there cannot exist authentic relationship on the deepest of levels. —Christianity for People Who Aren’t Christians by James White, pg 55

We simply must break with the idea that everything that happens is the will of God in the sense of being his intention. It is within the will of God, if you must use the phrase, in circumstances we have hinted at already. But we must come to terms with the idea that the intentional will of God can be defeated by the will of man for the time being. If this were not true, then man would have no real freedom at all. —The Will of God by Leslie D Weatherhead, pp 17-18
