Q&A: Were Adam and Eve created perfect? Free will is not an imperfection; sin through free will is

Did God Create Evil? A Misunderstood Bible Verse: Isaiah 45_7 00:43:18 – 00:44:48

Audience question about the nature of Adam and Eve's creation

Adam and Eve were created with genuine free will. The text of Genesis shows they could choose whether or not to eat the forbidden fruit. Free will itself is not an imperfection; what they did with it — sinning — was the imperfection that caused the Fall. The question of perfection hinges on distinguishing the capacity for free will from the exercise of it.
