God, man and responsbility

I had a most interesting conversation with a good friend of mine concerning God and us, and the idea of how God created us to think for ourselves. My friend, had the argument that God wants us to think for ourselves but "Christianity" discourages us from doing so. I disagree with that, I think that some "christianity" discourages that but it does not represent Christianity as a whole nor is that biblical in any way. As I talked this over with God and asked Him..He revealed to me, from Genesis the correction behind this...God created Adam and Eve as adults...I have always wondered why He started them off as adults and not as babies....the only reason I could think of that that time was that they needed to be adults to take care of the garden and that if they were babies no one could take care of them and things like that but that was about as far as it went...what He showed me concerning that. Was that He created them as adults..because He was already making them with the basis that He already trusted them to take care of what He wanted them to take care of. He created them as adults..because they already had all knowledge and intellect that would enable them to make wise decisions and be independent and rule the earth. It was almost like a trust thing...trusting them enough to make them as adults and not babies..If He had created them as babies..they would need someone to look after them and tell them what to do...relying on someone else to take care of them...They did not need that. He created them as already adults because He was going to instill a trust in them to do whatever they needed to do to run the planet. They had all power, they were given the earth to rule over, they had the whole planet to themselves...What freedom, and what power, and what trust! He gave them the entire planet!!!!!!!! Now that my friends, is trust. It is a compliment to have been made right from the beginning as an adult. It was like He was saying to them, I am not going to create you as a baby because that would insult you and your intelliegence and capability, no in His wisdom He created them with the capability for responsibility...they didnt need to "consult" with Him for decisions to make, they just needed to take care of business and delight in creation and their relationship with Him...He trusted them to take that responsibility and make whatever decisions they needed to make. He trusted their wisdom and judgement. He gave them the ability to make choices...He came to walk in the cool of the day with them to see what they were up to..what were they doing with this responsibility..what was going on? Not to check on them but to fellowship with them...to give a report almost on what they were doing with what He had given to them. On the seventh day He rested...just what were Adam and Eve going to do with this planet that He created for us to enjoy, this life He created for US to enjoy? It was a joyous relationship they had with God. One of a mature adult and a parent. One where the mature adult..says thanks for giving me this and here is what's going on. For they had all wisdom to run the earth. Doing with it whatever they wanted. Well here comes satan and tells them they would become like God if they ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil..well what satan did was create a desire that there was more...more than this planet! For God's sake! How could they even want more? But he created a desire that made Eve question..wow, is God really holding out on us...almost like in arrogance..maybe God is holding out on us...after all we run the planet...there must be more! What a lie! They had all that they needed and here comes satan with a lie that there is more. Almost, like leaving the responsibility of taking care of this planet and making what they could have with it, forsaking it for "more."! I do believe that even if Adam and Eve had other children, the other human beings that were created would all have had the same temptation. Maybe maybe not. So Adam and Eve, because God had given the ability to make their own choices....decided to make a choice out of the responsbility that God had given to them as adults and they went against His wishes..they made a mistake. For is that not what a true parent does to their children? Allows them to make their own mistakes! That is how we learn by our mistakes..this was a treacherous one, and some mistakes are! But God is not in the business of babying us and shielding us from our mistakes at times. He wants us to learn and to grow. That is being a true adult..and it would have been an insult to us for Him to have it any other way. For He would have been shielding us from making mistakes and making our own decisions. He would have not allowed us to think for ourselves, for that is what Eve did, thought for her self...she made a bad judgement call and then sin entered the earth. Thank Jesus for His sacrifice to correct that...however, too many times, we put on God, what God put on us.
