I don't want to obey! That caught my attention as I was surfing through the TV channels and heard this response from a person on the street in a foreign country being asked by a religious TV show their opinion on the ten commandments. Well, the person was being honest, had he been in the garden after the fall he wouldn't of made excuses just said it like it was, turn me loose because I want to go my own way. He seems to know what he wants and restrictions to his free will is not going to happen to this flesh and blood specimen. Just think if Adam and Eve obeyed and defeated the serpent, this specimen would not be, he owes his freedom to the serpent and Adam and Eve for disobeying enabling him to live according to his own design. Then what, he lives his jolly life on earth and he's not invited back. Outside forever of the blessings of God but he's willing to trade time on earth for endless time on earth. Most likely, he believes the serpent that he's not sacrificing anything in this way of life but that would be a lie, he's sacrificing a relationship with God. Losing all the gifts of the Creator will be hard, even harder will be to realize you lost God, might not be a big deal now because of the handholding of the devil to think of other things but the end. Hey, what's God about, love and good, have the real deal or ones cheap imitation of love and good. Character building is not a given except when proven and tested. Hero's and people of virtue didn't have it given to them on a platter. Wealthy people have to worry their chidren will not turn into brats by giving everything their hearts desire, so too God who is quite wealthy doesn't spoil his children but helps us to become people of virtue and character.
