Question

Why didn't God just make the laws clear from the beginning, by either giving Adam a bible or a Koran?

Answer 1

It is based on allegory. Adam represented the physical form, Eve was the soul.

Answer 2

there was no need. because man had not sinned yet. There was no need for the bible either. because God lived among man. the muslim belief  didn't even exist in adams time. Nor did any kind of worship. other then keep the sabbath day  but there was no set belief., or religion.

Answer 3

Guess He thought there wouldn't be a need after the consequences from the first (original) sin.  

Answer 4

Because the big picture is about faith, and not law. The children of Israel were put under the law because they were faithless.  The law was temporary until the coming of Christ and the revelation of faith in and through Him.

Answer 5

God did.  What could be simpler than one law?

"See that one tree in the middle of all those other trees?  Don't eat from that one tree.  That is it.  All the law you need.  If you obey, then you will live forever in Eden.  Disobey and you will die."

Now call me dense if you want, but that is not seeming to be too complicated.  I don't need a big book for that one.  A scratch piece of paper will do just fine if I forget.

It was only after disobedience that sinful humans got complicated.

Answer 6

Adam only had one law. Don't eat of the one tree. How many books of laws do you need to keep track of one command? Very simple. And that command pertained to the will of man. Does man fulfill his purpose or does he rule his own life? The answer is clear.

The mistake people make is in your question. You think it is about rules and laws. It isn't. It's about pleasing he one you love. You wouldn't need rules and laws if your motive is love.

Answer 7

Dont be serious abt "what happend or what should have happend" thousands of yrs ago.

All answers are speculations, including the theory about existence of god.

No one knows the truth, so just pick a logical idea that satisfies your faith and hopes.

Answer 8

as one of my professors said when asked why hamlet didnt kill his uncle in the first act: "no delay, no play".

Answer 9

Why don't we all speak the same language anymore, too? I think this would be the best. We wouldn't argue, we wouldn't fight. We could live like we are told and not disagree about every single scripture!

Answer 10

Buuhh!! this is a biiiig dilemma, bible or Coran doesn´t have the answers for our troubles... sometimes makes our life more chaotic!! There´s no solution for this mess...

Answer 11

Why didn't religious folks just admit they made everything up from the beginning?

Answer 12

who knows?  he has some whole big plan im sure.  

Answer 13

The Bible isnt just a book of laws. Plus, people learn by experience, and the Bible is all about people experiences.  

Answer 14

Well that would have just been too simple.  It would have avoided all the drama.
