Question 1

Why did God allow Satan to temp man?

Answer 1

1. God allowed man to be given a choice in Eden because of his sovereign decree that both angels and men should possess Free Will.
2. God granted this because of His own holy Nature
3. God granted this because of His loving desire to have voluntary love and fellowship from man.
4. God allowed man to be given a choice in Eden because of His Sovereign wisdom in that He is able to bring greater good out of the events that have followed the fall.
   Note- one example of this is the teaching of Paul in Romans 5 that believers have gained far more in their salvation through Christ than they lost in their fall with Adam.
