I am kind of confused, actually. So god, the almighty being, Adam and Eve and the devil together in the garden of Eden. Why put the devil in the garden of Eden if you don't want it to lead the two people astray? But since god is all-knowing, it knew the devil was going to do that, so god created the situation for the "original sin" to happen instead of creating a perfect world where there is no sin.
It makes no actual sense.
Just wait till you get to the part where God makes a human version of himself that he sends down to the planet to be killed by the humans which for some reason will open the door to a perfect place that he could have opened at any time he wanted
To be fair the idea of Satan hadn't been invented yet and in Genesis God is just one of many gods also that God isnt all good.
It gets confusing because the continuity errors from retrocons. Highly likely the original story was a group of gods created the world, one of those gods created a tribe, and another god decided to mess with that tribe. Later on the group of gods got condensed into one and the god that put the snake in got demoted to evil angel status.
if their story is to be believed, it was 100% intentional knowing all that would happen.
The only reasonable conclusion is that god wanted to LARP as the white knight and save everyone. I'd really hate to see what his Dark Side campaign looked like.
The whole thing would make a lot more sense if God weren't all-knowing. Like, maybe he could just be unfathomably-knowing but not know literally everything?
Putting my Christian hat back on, I don't see anything wrong with that personally.
