God allowed, still allows humans to have options because if you truly give someone the right/ability to decide i.e. make choices, there have to be options to choose from.
If no other option is available, the right of choice supposedly given is a scam (deception) and God is not a deceiver, the devil is the one who deceives. Genesis 1: 26 Since God has the right/ability to decide what He wants, so humans created in His image MUST also have that right /ability to make choices. To exercise that right, there has to be options to choose from.
But in His loving-kindness and omniscience, God provides guard-rails (instructions, guidance) and is ever ready to tell the answer or guide everyone to the right option or decision.
Deut.30.19 - I call heaven and earth to witness this day against you that I have set before you life and death, the blessings and the curses; therefore CHOOSE LIFE (answer provided), that you and your descendants may live.
Deut.30.20 - And may love the Lord your God, obey His voice, and cling to Him. For He is your LIFE and the length of your days...'
Those words though spoken to the Israelites who came out of Egypt in those days is now for all who choose to believe in the true God.
Acts 2:39
This promise( of the Holy Spirit who guides believers into all truth) is to you and to your children, and even to the Gentiles--all who have been called by the Lord our God." [NLT]
For the promise( of the Holy Spirit who guides believers into all truth) is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call." [NKJV]
The Sprit of God is to help believers make the right decisions or choices:
John.15.26 "But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me (Jesus). (NKJV).
The one and only true God is manifested in three dimensions (Father, Son who is the Word and Holy Spirit) Genesis 1:26, 1st John 5: 7
John.16.13 - But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth). For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority]; but He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him], and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come [that will happen in the future].AMP
John 1: 1- 14 But before the God, the Holy Spirit came to dwell in humans who choose to believe in the Word, God came as human. Why? Because the devil outsmarted humanity and took control of the earth God gave to humans Genesis 1:27, 28.
Gen.1.27 - So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them.
Gen.1.28 - And God blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it [using all its vast resources in the service of God and man]; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and over every living creature that moves upon the earth.'
God had to prove to humans that they are created in His image and so have the capacity to resist the devil, exercise victory over him, do what is right and dominate on earth as He, God originally intended. But humans may think that they cannot exercise dominion on earth as God intends because they have a human body with limitations. So God had to put on a human body. But He is a God of order. Though He could have just created a human body for himself and appear on earth, that would be illegitimate and against the natural order He established Himself. The only way a spirit can operate physically, not just spiritually on earth is to have a human body through the natural order of reproduction – being given birth to, born by a woman as a baby with the life of God – a human spirit from the Spirit of God. That process has been automated and can be achieved by humans even without consulting God, though they should.
If God did not establish that natural order, evil spirits can just get a flesh and blood human body somewhere and physically live. The devil and demons i.e. fallen angels would have been living as flesh and blood human beings on earth, do their evils physically by themselves and would have completely taken over the earth from human beings or fully destroyed it. Could that be what the devil did to the previous world on earth with animals such as dinosaurs and apes that evolved into human-like beings?
Back to this present world on earth: currently what the devil and his demons just try to do is to control as many human beings as they can – using all sorts of deceptions – fears, lies, manipulations, coercions, enticement, inducements etc Genesis 3: 1 – 34
Gen.3.1 - Now the serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made’
At that time the devil dared not control or influence the newly-created humans because they were still in God’s league so he took control of an animal. In the previous world that was apparently destroyed, the humans then who probably did evolve from animals must have been fully controlled by the devil. So it must have been so easy for the devil to control animals and make them do what he wanted and even to a large extent still does till current times.
But the new humans on earth had been created in God’s image and not subject to the devil’s control. When humans operate as creatures in God’s class, they cannot be controlled or subject to the devil. But whenever they lose the consciousness of that identity of being creatures in the class of God, they can be controlled by the devil even without realising it and even act like animals.
What can sever that connection humans have with God? Disobedience – the choice to do things not in line with God’s will. Note that God tells us to do things His way not to exercise authority over us but because whatever He tells us to do is for our own good – remember He has the manual for human lives and all creatures and creations. But He is a righteous just God, so, after having told us what to do, He allows us exercise the right to choose.
Therefore, in order to rule on earth indirectly, Satan took advantage of humanity’s right of choice to control humans and have access to the earth and all of God’s creations that God owns but has given to humans in trust. Satan, the devil knows that if humans choose to do what God wants they will maintain their identity as creatures in God’s image, God’s likeness and would be invincible. But if they choose to obey Satan - the devil, they would be subject to his control and he can reduce them to the class of animals and Lord it over them.
Science is the study of all God created and can be used for lots of good for humanity in line with God’s purpose. But when scientists try to exclude God from science, they get into error, in fact sheer stupidity and wickedness. Influencing humans to classify themselves as animals is one of Satan’s crafty ways of using science to strip humans of their God-class image and make humans do dastardly acts with their creativity.
How will people thinking they are in the class of animals, who have been made to believe they are higher animals overpower or overcome the one who has chosen to become the highest animal i.e. the devil?
So Satan deceived the woman into thinking that humans were not good enough or missing out because God didn’t want them to be like Him in knowing good and evil Genesis 3: 4-6
As at then, though humans had the right to choose, since they were still living the choice of doing things God’s way, they didn’t know evil. If they choose the devil’s option, they would know evil and experience evil reality. Even to this day, as more and more humans choose the devil’s option (way of doing things), evil abounds – e.g. the myriad of wicked acts, diseases, pains, weakness, poverty, disasters, deaths we see today are as a result of humanity choosing the devil’s option. Genesis 3: 1-24.
As a loving God, even after the fall of humans into sin, the Almighty still chose to redeem humanity out of the devil’s control so humans can enjoy abundant life – free of pains, sicknesses, diseases, poverty, fears etc. But humans even with a flesh and blood body must first understand that they can resist and overcome the devil . So what did God do?
Heb.2.14 - Since, therefore, [these His] children share in flesh and blood [in the physical nature of human beings], He [Himself] in a similar manner partook of the same [nature], that by [going through] death He might bring to nought and make of no effect him who had the power of death - that is, the devil –
John 1: 1 – 14, James 4:7, JJohn 5:7
John.10.10 - The thief (the devil) comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I (Jesus) came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).
What is the greatest fear of human beings? – death or anything that can harm their human bodies or cause the body to suffer or not to enjoy life. As a result, lots of temptations which so many people think it is impossible or hard not to fall into as humans. But God had to practically demonstrate it. If it did it in Hos spiritual state without putting on flesh - a human body, humans would have an excuse, so:
Heb.4.15 - For we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to understand and sympathise and have a shared feeling with our weaknesses and infirmities and liability to the assaults of temptation, but One Who has been tempted in every respect as we are, yet without sinning.'
How would God have been able to prove to and convince humans that they can overcome the devil, live above sin and fear of death and live the God-kind on life on earth if he had not taken on a human body through His own established order for humans of being given birth to, if he had not come to earth same way every human comes to earth?
