Welcome to JUICED - a general chat community that focuses on providing an enjoyable place to visit and participate in. JUICED was first established in early April as a closed community; meaning that registrations were only allowed for 24 hours once a month. The idea worked surprisingly well, though it tried up after a few months and we ultimately decided to open the community for good. After another few months and a unsuccessful merge, we're back, and this time, we're here to stay!

Guests who are not registered or logged in only have access to viewing the Community Information sector. To post, participate in the community and ultimately become a member of a fast-growing general chat forum, please take a few minutes to Register!

Why put the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden? Two words: free will. God wants us to obey him freely, not just because there's no other option. For that reason did he put the tree in the garden. Adam and Eve exercised their free will, ate of the tree of knowledge, and were consequently punished.
If you're not going to give people free will, why create them in the first place? It only makes sense if you're psychotic.

Free will and not being able to be tricked can coexist. I don't see why you can't have both.

Satan told a lie and they fell for it which meant they weren't perfect beings which doesn't exactly work since god is perfect.

God is perfect... Perfect in everything everyone may say... The light must have darkness... The sea must have land... I forgot where I got that saying but yeah... For God to be perfect, he has to have a counterpart, and Satan being that counterpart... Satan was the right hand of God until Satan wanted the power for himself... Which is not in God's real plans...

Legend, please shut up.

Driver, the people who wrote the Bible were "inspired" by God.

Well, I can't blame you, these are just written words.

According to the Bible, yes.
