Why Did God Create Adam Whom He Knew Would Fall?

[@day1678]

God's love for man/woman is clearly displayed beautifully by honouring us with a free will!

[@day1678]

Love the Blessed Mother! Never, ever let go of her guiding hand that will lead us to Jesus. Pray as never before - especially the Rosary (daily) for her intentions. Love her!

[@ElijahsCloak]

Amen

Excellent video.I've been waiting for a video just like this for a long time!! May God bless you!

[@ElijahsCloak]

Thank you Pat!

Another great explanation, Bob. Thank you very much. Hell certainly exists, but unfortunately, we have a generation who were educated in the gentle gentle times in Catholic schools. It was so much a time of anything goes in the world outside and I think as compensation we removed anything that was too restrictive. I think also it was an overeaction to the sometimes excessive use of corporal punishment in the generations before. Thank you, Bob.

Thank you Sherry.

St. Frances of Rome gave an even more dire description in great detail about hell- the most frightening one I've ever read.

[@ElijahsCloak]

Yes someone else recommended her as well

St Frances of Rome: most detailed description of Hell and Purgatory. New translation available from Tan Books- very good translation.

[@ElijahsCloak]

Thank you Michael. I have not looked at St Frances. I definitely will do so.

Bob, you can extend your question to every thing!! with and without reason, every little particle in his creation has its part to play in Gods time and in the manner. god is so far beyond and above us that we cannot for any reason come close to his rational. his designs extend to the interrelationships that will ever be, and the beauty of that is that he put it ALL into motion millenia before he began our saga eons before you spoke your first word for this video. this question is actually better answered "in the divine will" to say from Gods abode in eternity

[@ElijahsCloak]

As St Paul has said, we "must put on the mind of Christ."

@@ElijahsCloak AMEN brother Bob, and good subject sir

[@mariabilone]

Do you think maybe God created Adam so he would know who his disciples are? If there is evil then there is good, and maybe he wanted us to do his Will. How would we know evil and good , pain, and pleasure if everyone was perfect? Does this make sense? Also is there really purgatory as it's not mentioned in the Bible.

[@ElijahsCloak]

We must distinguish between what God permits and what God wills. God permits us to sin. But He desires that we do not sin and that we live in His Will. Yes, Purgatory is implied in Scripture and confirmed by the Saints and Doctors of the Chuch.

@@ElijahsCloak Thank you for your reply. It means a lot to me.

[@mariabilone]

I have a question for you Bob. I was in Adoration and I was praying and I fell asleep and when I woke up I was so hot and perspiring. It was a very cold day. I was freezing in church but I woke up hot and it lasted for 5 minutes. Could have been the Holy Spirit?

[@ElijahsCloak]

Possibly.

@@ElijahsCloak Thank you for replying!
