Ove said: "So it seems like that God had decided how the result and consequenses would be from the FALL when Adam disobeyed God( Rom 8:12)."
My comment: God did not decide. He already knew these things. They were all part of His divine plan.

Ove: "Long before Adam sinned, God had already decided what would happen to people and the world because of that sin."
My comment: Adam did not sin. He disobeyed and transgressed. But the transgression was NOT a sin, it was part of the plan. Which plan took all things into consideration and was/is perfect. Again, God did not "decide." He knew all things already so He didn't have to decide.

Ove:"So in a sense, this world is a perfect world where people have to chose to follow God by accepting Jesus Christ as personal Savior."
Me: Not that people "have to choose," but that we "GET to choose." Even as Adam and Eve were given the ability to choose in the garden, so can we choose to follow Christ or not. That choice is only one of the glorious gifts of God.

Please comment on this.

Thank you!
