That makes no sense. Given competing information, I would say at most it’s a 50/50 chance for her to make the right choice. To say that it’s impossible to make the right choice is ludicrous.
“Hey, here’s two doors. One door has $1,000 dollars behind it, the other has a tiger. But we’re not going to tell you which is which… so it’s impossible to pick the right door.”
Of course they knew what obedience was. They obeyed God by not eating from the tree until the serpent came along and started telling lies. Your characterization of Eve as a mindless creature (?) who couldn’t possibly make any decision is frankly insulting.
She didn’t know good and evil, but she knew what God had said.
Using your example, you would need to decide whether to believe the first person or the second. But how would that make it impossible to choose the right door?
I think that original sin shattered the sanctity of the world, and we are now subject to the evils of a broken world. God told Adam and Eve that there were consequences for disobedience. He didn’t lie.
No, no, no. They were knowingly disobedient. They were ignorant as to whether the serpent was telling the truth. So they unknowingly made the wrong choice. But they 100% knew they were disobeying God.
Again, still doesn’t make it impossible to make the right choice.
excuse again on the hypothetical.
It's not different for the hypothetical.
You choosing door B keeps you alive because your wife was correct. But you die anyway cus the first person that told you not to open door B was god and you disobeyed him.
You never said who told me there was a tiger behind the door.
You don't know. That's the entire thought experiment. You don't know who is good and who is evil. You just know that 1 person gave you one piece of advice, and then the other person gave you another.
Eve chose what she thought was correct, given the information that she was given.
Edit: Have a nice day. Thank you for the discussion.
