“31. After Adam was created, Genesis 1:31 tells us, “God saw everything that He had made, and, behold, it was very good.” Therefore Adam was very good; but this condition did not last. Genesis 2:18 tells us that presently God says: “It is not good that the man [or “Adam”], should be alone.” The “very good” state of humanity becomes “not good.” What had wrought signs of this change?”

The reason I have a problem with this thinking is that it is also reading into scripture. We have male and female ‘created’ in Gen 1. We see them ‘formed’ in Gen 2. This was all planned…even the process. God wanted Adam to see that being alone was not good.  I cannot see where that part has anything to do with sin entering the world. However, I do see where Adam did not ‘guard’ the garden and sin resulted.
