Did God have a choice?

Could it have been set up to be more fair?

Where is it written that you are entitled for anything to be fair? Or do you mean just?

If I were looking for it to have been fair or even just, God would have killed Adam and Eve after the first mistake, and none of us would have even had the chance to exist. I'm thankful that since the Garden God has shown limitless mercy toward mankind in His pursuit to restore all things... as only He could.

Sin is part of the human experience brother. It was introduced in the actions of Adam and Eve. And the Scriptures tell us that life is in the blood. When mankind procreates, the mother and the father blood types determine the blood type of the child. They pass on that sin curse through the blood. We are guilty through the blood.... and in the end, justified through the blood.

I by no means want it to be fair, don't have a right to it being fair, and am not concerned about if it is fair. There is a level of knowledge and wisdom that God has of to the why's of how this whole thing is set up, that is absolutely the best for man.... there could be no other way that would be better, or God would have provided it for us. I rest in knowing that He's God, and He worked it out the best way for us.
