Did God know Adam and Eve would sin --REASONABLY ,NO -
"What Jehovah (Psalm 83:18)Foreknows---
Since Jehovah is a God of prophecy and purpose, how does he exercise his foreknowledge? To begin with, we are assured that all of God’s ways are truthful ,righteous, and loving. When writing to Hebrew Christians of the first century C.E., the apostle Paul confirmed that God’s oath and his promise make “two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie.” (Hebrews 6:17, 18) In his letter to the disciple Titus, Paul also expressed this thought when he wrote that God “cannot lie.”—Titus 1:2.
Furthermore, although Jehovah has unlimited power, he never acts unjustly. Moses described Jehovah as “a God of faithfulness, with whom there is no injustice; righteous and upright is he.” (Deuteronomy 32:4) Whatever Jehovah does harmonizes with his wonderful personality. His actions manifest the perfect harmony of his cardinal qualities of love, wisdom, justice, and power.
Consider how all of this relates to the events in the garden of Eden. As a loving Father, Jehovah provided everything human creatures needed. He endowed Adam with the ability to think, to reason on a matter, and to reach a conclusion.
Unlike the animal creation, which is largely guided by instinct, Adam had the ability to make choices. The result of this was that God looked down from his heavenly throne and saw “everything he had made and, look! it was very good.” Genesis 1:26-31; 2 Peter 2:12.
When Jehovah chose to lay a command upon Adam not to eat of “the tree of the knowledge of good and bad,” He provided adequate instruction so that Adam could decide what to do. He allowed Adam to eat from “every tree of the garden” except one and warned of the fatal results of eating the fruit of the forbidden tree. (Genesis 2:16, 17)
He laid before Adam the consequences of his actions. What would Adam do?
Jehovah apparently chose not to foresee what Adam—and Eve—would do, even though He has the ability to know everything in advance. It is therefore a question, not of whether Jehovah can foresee the future, but of whether he chooses to do so.
Most of the time he does not choose to do so - in conformity of the exercise of free will given
Humankind and angels -
Furthermore, we can reason that Jehovah, being a God of love, would not knowingly and cruelly predetermine that rebellion—with all its sad consequences—should take place. (Matthew 7:11; 1 John 4:8)
He respected the free will he gave humans and angels . He did not expect Adam and Eve and a long faithful angel to rebel against his Sovereignty by sinning . ( At the end of the 6 th creative day - he said everything was
"Good" - Genesis 1:31)
Thus, as far as Jehovah’s exercise of foreknowledge is concerned, it is selective. He selects when to use it -
Does Jehovah’s selective exercise of his foreknowledge mean that he is somehow lacking, imperfect? No. Moses described Jehovah as “the Rock,” adding: “Perfect is his activity.” He was not to blame for the consequences of human sin. The disastrous effects felt by all of us today stem from that unrighteous act of disobedience.
The apostle Paul clearly reasoned that “through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned.”—Deuteronomy 32:4, 5; Romans 5:12; Jeremiah 10:23.
So far in our discussion, we have seen that there is no injustice with Jehovah. (Psalm 33:5) Rather, Jehovah’s abilities, moral qualities, and standards support his purpose. (Romans 8:28) As the God of prophecy, Jehovah tells “from the beginning the finale, and from long ago the things that have not been done.” (Isaiah 46:9, 10)
We have also seen that his exercise of foreknowledge is selective.
Where, then, do we fit in? How can we make sure that our decisions conform to God’s loving purpose? And what blessings will doing so bring us? "
