Why didn't God forgive Adam and Eve?
If God sent his only son to die on the cross for the Forgiveness of our sins, then why didn't God just forgive Adam and Eve? And save himself the trouble of having his son die on the cross.

God is a God of His own word(s) (Genesis 2:17). Adam and Eve were perfect and they deliberately chose to disobey God. They had no weaknesses like we as humans do. They could not say they made a mistake or they weren't thinking clearly. Both knew that what they were doing was going against God's expressed will and purpose.

According to the myth, they had no idea of right and wrong before they ate the fruit. As god is supposed to be omniscient, he would have known what they were going to do before they did. In short, they were set up.

@NortiusMaximus Genesis 2:16-17 proves you are wrong. They knew it would cost them their life if they disobeyed. Eve definitely knew it would be wrong to disobey God's expressed will for her and her husband when she stated the words at Genesis 3:2-3. The perfect couple, Adam and Eve, were given or created with a free will. They weren't created to be robotic. They could either make the right choice and live or choose to disobey and die. Also, God chose not to know their activity before they sinned; afterall, they were given perfect conditions to live under so there was no need to gauge their activity or foresee what would happen before they sinned.

@seotelkniwt LOL! Quotes from a book of fairy stories don't prove anything.
