The moral compass of the people was weak and they followed no rules and let their temptations
control them

neither is capable of destroying the other completely

According to this topic's assigned reading, "The Mystery of Original Sin:
We Don't Know Why God Permitted the Fall, but We Know All Too Well the Evil and Sin
That Still Plague Us," by Shuster, what is the problem with the world?
The world of Genesis 3 is the world we live in. Seemingly insignificant choices, unbelief, and
pride are key aspects of the Genesis account, and our ongoing struggle. We are corrupt, and
creation suffers a curse on account of Adam and Eve’s lapse - and our own.
•
According to that same Shuster article, why might God want us "to believe,
trust, and obey him even when there is not a reason to do so that we can wrap our minds
around"?
Because God belongs in the center of our lives and putting him elsewhere would result in us not
believing, trusting or obeying him.
